Hi All,

I've been looking everywhere for tail supplies in Australia, I was wondering if anyone could help. These are the things I'm looking for, as cheap as possible:


Finis Rapid monofin
patterned lycra spandex with some foil in it
thin neoprene
swimwear elastic

Can anyone help with this? I've looked everywhere, but everything is hugely expensive on postage online and there's not much product available in stores.
Help! (also posted in Oceania pod)

Much love,

Nylinda.

If your struggling to find things in Australia (Im in UK but similar situation) you could try using this website

They give you a US adress to put on the order then they ship it from them to you :)

Is difficult to find Finis monofins for a good price in Australia. I would recommend using Amazon to get one- they ship from US but the shipping is super cheep and fast (you'll recieve it within the week!).
As for lycra/spandex, Spotlight and Lincraft both have a lot in their dance sections. As with swimwear elastic.
Thin neoprene is harder to source- there are a few sellers online around Aus but normally they are 'bulk buy'. You can try things like dive stores and just ask around, though. :)
Good luck! <3

If you can find stores that make custom wetsuits you may be able to talk to them about buying neoprene from them.
Some dive stores sell monofins.....not all. It's a case of doing your homework and finding out what's around you.
Like Mizuko said Spotlight and lincraft will have lycra/spandex and the elastic.
