It's official! I'm getting a Finis Competitor monofin for my next tail!!! So excited :yay: Now, I'm a mer who likes big flukes. The bigger the better! And we all know that the Competitor is BIG. But is it too big? Let me tell ya what I mean.
-
I honestly do not want to cut my monofin whatsoever. I feel like I am going to regret doing so if I did! I've seen tails that have uncut competitors in them, but they always seem a bit too large whenever you use the standard fluke shape. Standard meaning the kind of fluke on the left side of the picture. Plus, the free-flowing parts of the fluke seem to get a bit of a crease- mostly in neoprene tails. So, I am thinking of using the fluke design on the right side of the picture below. The monofin may not have to be cut, Not that much material will have to be used, and I think it is a very cool and new kinda fluke. Plus, I think it looks killer! Check it out:

So there that is.
But will it still be too big? Obviously the picture isn't exactly to proportion, I think that the actual monofin is a touch larger, but you get the idea.

Big question: Do any of you mers have tails with uncut Finis Competitor monofins? Or do you have plain Competitors that aren't used for tails? If you do, can you please please please post a picture with some sort of comparison to an everyday object so I can kinda get the idea of how big it is? I can honestly never find a good picture that helps visualize how big it will be in a tail.
