Guys it is on its way! It might even be there waiting for me when I get back from overseas in a few days (though i don't have the tracking details yet so I can't be sure). Here's hoping!
Congrats Melaina! :D
Melaina, that's your tail!? I am so jealous (but in a good way). My plan is to use similar colors in my next tail. Yours is so beautiful!
Beautiful tail! I love the colors!!
Gosh that is pretty :D
Melaina that beautiful! Love the little fins ^_^ Can't wait to see pictures of you wearing the tail
I just made my second deposit. 1000 euro's more to go and everything is payed. *excited*
That color scheme is gorgeous! Congrats! :yay:
LOVE the fins
I'll get better pictures this weekend.

:jawdrop: It looks AMAZING!
Dan, that looks great! :D I like the spot.
And Melaina your tail looks beautiful!! Also, I just noticed your signature has a line from my favorite poem, The Garden of Proserpine!! :) I have the whole thing memorized, haha.
Dan, that tail looks AWESOME :D I love the colors!
~As a quick question, can anyone who got a finfolk tail, or is just familiar with monofins, recommend wither or not to upgrade from the trainer to the competitor? This seems to be the only thing I'm conflicted about when sorting out my tail details. I'm leaning toward moving up to the competitor, but I don't want to waste money upgrading the tail if it's unnecessary.
Coincidentally, it's my favourite poem too ;)Quote:

My tail has been in customs for three weeks now D: what are they doing to it?! Probably checking it for drugs or something :gah:
That long for a SILICONE tail?? What do they expect it's made of? Cocaïne??!! :crazy:Quote:

I believe this is Marlin's tail unless somebody tells me that I'm wrong ;)

SO rad! It's so shiny!
Yup- that one was me :) What do you guys think?
From reading the comments on FB- my eye spots are real polarizing. People either love them or hate them.
Got news from Finfolk that they'll start production on my tail in May *excited* :D
You know my opinion on the matter. :) plus they'll come in handy for confusing predators in the open sea.Quote:

Marlin, what option did you ask for your tail? Competitor? No heel fins? No scale tipping either?
I like the eye spots, just not the lines coming off of them, but that's just me. I adore the coloration UNF that tail is BEAUTIFUL!
I love my competitor! It's remarkably easy to swim in, it's not as stiff as I was expecting and I normally use a FINIS Rapid! I enjoy the control a stiff fluke affords me. :)Quote:

Ohh goodness I need to upload that video I took! I am so sorry. :< I don't have many pictures but I'm hoping to get some next month!
/hugs Arion 5ever
If you're still coming this weekend Octavia, we have at least 1 photographer going to be with us. And we have the pool for 2 hours :) Plenty of time for pictures and video
Oh absolutely I'm still coming, and bringing a coworker with me! The tail you made for me fits her perfectly, plus the slight buoyancy helps her feel so much safer. We are SO excited!!!
Beautiful colors on the tail, Marlin. :) I don't love or hate the spots- I was indifferent except in that the colors are so pretty on their own lol. Knowing they're eye spots makes me appreciate them, however.Quote:

I am still smiling. It got here today- and I got to try it on for the first time. Dream come true! :D
Hey guys. I've been studying (ie, zooming in and out on pictures) most of the tails to see what the seams and little details look like. I wanted to ask how the flukes look in sunlight/lit from behind. From what I've seen, there is a clear line where the monofin ends and solid silicone takes over. But I think I've only seen flukes with the competitor. Does anyone have a fluke with the rapid?
All of your tails are unbelievably beautiful, by the way! I'm really starting to lean towards investing in a FinFolk tail.
I have a Competitor in mine. Here is a picture of it with the sun behind it: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater (sorry for no pretty link, I'm in a hurry). The monofin only really shows through the fluke if you hold it up to the light like that. Also, I'm pretty sure Abby and Bryn don't put Rapids in any of their tails, because of the obnoxious ankle straps. I think their standard monofin is actually a Trainer, which has ankle straps/footpockets like those on the Competitor.
