Hey!
I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere I could buy a realistic whale tail? Or even someone that you think would do it. I saw the whale one that is on the Oceanika site, and I loved it. Whales are my favorite animal, and I think a blue whale tail would be gorgeous!

LOL Join the club, there are a few of us who want whale/dolphins tails, I know where you can get a dolphin monofin if thats what your looking for, but the only way to get a whale tail to your liking would be custom made or make it yourself.

(dont be shy join the Mer- Orca Pod we love talking about whales and tails- even designing our own whale/dolphin tails.. http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?460-Mer-Orca-pod-anyone)

The monofin is on http://www.dol-fin.net/ their going for $79.00 now!

I'm working on a dolphin-based tail currently. It's about 90% finished.
You should make one yourself! I didn't think it was that hard.

I made mine out of ALEX and neoprene but you can do the same with regular
latex and neoprene as well.

Totally. Can I buy neoprene just at regular fabric stores? or do I have to order online?

Jo Ann Fabric stores did sell neoprene. At least for the stores near me, it's been discontinued. It would be good to check though. I was able to buy mine on clearance for $12 a yard.

Mertailor just posted a picture of himself in a new tail, and it had a whale shape fluke! It looks pretty awesome!

there are 3 joanns within 20 minutes of my house...all of them sold out of neoprene
i did write the company to see if they were planning to carry again, or make it a seasonal item.

I seriously hate Joann's for discontinuing the neoprene. Maybe if we all write them they'll change their mind? O:

I like the idea of having a dolphin tail. Dolphins are my favorite animals. And I would also love to have a dolphin tail.
