Hello everyone :)
So, I don't want to bore you therefore I'll say what's going on
Now I have a problem....
I was writing an email to Fish Butts to discuss about my tail design and Stephanie told me that she will use a competitor monofin for the fluke and here everything is ok, but I want a particular shape for the fluke so now I don't know which is the best for me between these:

http://aquatails.com/shop/images/652/?240,240,-211021154
What I would like to know is the corresponding measures for each of these (like how big they are,the length and the width) and which one will give me the best result to obtain something that moves like this:
7907790879097910
I know that Mermaid Raina has a tail made by Raven with a competitor monofin and I saw some videos where the fluke is very similar to what I want to see in the water so if someone knows what tipe of competitor monofin was used, how much big is her fluke and how it was built (I mean if the silicone fluke follows the shape of the monofin or if the fluke is bigger than the monofin and was added a reinforcement to support the entire structure).
Why all this for a monofin?Well it's because when I recive my tail I want it to avoid this:
7906
because I think that is something that makes the tail seem unnatural and therefore unreal.
I know that in the forum there are lots of mermaids and merman who bought their tail by Mike Van Daal and another curiosity for me is that I'm interested to know how he makes his version of the monofin -the shape,how big is it- (I know that it isn't exactly a monofin but I saw a video on youtube where a mermaid explanes that inside the tail there is a part that seems very closely to a monofin, here is the link to the video --->
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu1ynqKh3DA ), how he builts it inside the fluke -I mean if he follows the "monofin" shape, if the fluke is completely supported by it or there are some areas where there is only silicone and things like this- and how big is the entire fluke, always in terms of length and width, because I'm considering to make my second tail with him but before I want to know something more about his creations and if they fits my idea of "mermaid tail".
If these mermaids/man doesn't want to post on the net Mike's secrets (and I understand why) I'd like them to send me a private message if they want to help me :)
Thank you very much indeed to all of you who will help me because this is a very important think for me :D
