I am US based. I am a large athletic man, 6'4" 236 lbs. I have extensive diving and long distance swimming experience, and love to be in the ocean with the sea creatures swimming with them. I have long been accused of being a merman for the time I spend in the water (I am enchanted by mermaids, a beautiful little handpainted one is my figurehead on my boat, I am a licensed captain). Anyway I love the monofin concept and trained years ago with monofin techniques.
I would like an affordable monofin for strong fast swimming workouts as well as relaxed free dive communing with my fellow fish and crustaceans. I have looked at finis trainer, competitor, and wave readily available here. I have size 13-14 feet that are fairly wide. My most comfortable shoe is a 13-3EEE I am also a very capable design engineer with good tools and could make my own.
I cringed at the price of the competitor, was ok with the trainer. Lets say 250 dollars a fair limit.
Looking for a powerful swimming fin available US for a strong swimmer with large feet. Am I on the right track with the trainer?? Or steer me to a do it yourself?
I would be grateful for any thoughts.
