I thought I would taked a minute to post something about my monofin from SpecialFins, just so people know the 411. I wanted a faster, larger fin than my rapid, but I didn't want to pay upwards of 300 bucks for a competitor, so I looked on line and found the "dolphin" mono from SpecialFins. In the picture online it's black, but I asked mine be made white, which was not a problem. Karmo, the guy who runs the company, was awesome to work with. He kept in contact with me and kindly answered all my questions. I got a medium hardness fin and it was a tad over 175 bucks for it including tax and shipping. Here's a pic of it:
9211
The only issue I have with it is that it rubs blisters on my feet really badly. I should have asked for neoprene foot inserts, but I didn't think I'd need them... oh well. I'm just going to line the foot pockets myself. The fin is very very fast, and took a little getting used to since it's not as flexible as my rapid. I love it to death tho, and I really recommend this company. :)
