Hello Everyone! I've been on hiatus for about a year, and am happy to say that I'm now able to get back in the shop and start making these monofins again! I've opened my own Etsy shop: Custom Monofins.
My monofins are custom ordered, and (for the moment) you choose from either the Classic style, or Sirena style monofin shapes. You also choose your exact boot size!

I'll tell you as much as I can about the monofins without spilling my trade secrets. ;)

Q: What is the plastic made of?
A: It is a plastic that I special order. It is resistant to chlorine and salt water, and does not snap under the weight resistance it takes to propel through the water. It took me 5 years of experimenting with various plastics and materials to find the perfect one suited for a monofin's requirements.

Q: What are the boots made of?
A: The boots are a moulded soft rubber.

Q: What is the black part on the monofin?
A: A black neoprene cover hides the boots from view. When swimming in a fabric tail, the water pushes the fabric against the boots, making your feet very visible. The black neoprene cover solves that problem, helping to achieve a seamless flow from fluke to body.

If you have any other questions, please visit my Etsy page, or comment! My YouTube channel also has videos of the monofins being swam in, so you can see how they perform.

If you were serious about buying a Custom Monofin, I could possibly get you the size 15. :) From what I've experienced with swim fins and wide feet-you want to get the next size up to accommodate the wide foot. Then if there was any wiggle room, you could wear a neoprene swim sock to fill it in.

Maybe in the future. Right now I just want to get a general monofin to practice with.
