I cut out the "blade" Part Outline using my Linden monofin and is quite floppy

Footpockets made of(taken from) old thick truck tyre covers... Used a thick long needle and green fishing thread and then later to re-inforce the strength of the stitches, glued down all the threads with super glue

I'm hoping it will swim much better than the much "lighter" ones I made last december [emoji1696][emoji16]

I hope there are flippers or bifins in there. Otherwise its gonna be a struggle to get any propulsion going.
