Will you be making tails where there is no monofin? Only foot pockets. Kinda like the old MDV tails, where the fluke is solid silicone and swim flippers inside for feet.
I'm making some travel tails at the moment which are for photography only and they just have a pocket for the feet.
The starry Night tail is very easy to put on because it has no straps so your feet slot straight in and Emily had no trouble swimming in it as you can see in the video ��
Are these travel tails swimmable?Quote:

The travel tails I'm currently making are not swim able because they are children's tails just for posing for a photographer.
I will however be making travel tails that are swim able, using a finis shooter monofin so the monofin can be essentially folded up and put in a bag.
i currently have a few orders to create but I can book you in to start in March:D
Holy wow, Fifi. First time I've seen one of your tails under water. That is actually incredible.
Thank you Sabrina :D x
I'll get back to you when the tax refunds come in ;pQuote:

Now if only Tigg made custom monofins! Cos that's what I really want right now. And I don't want to go through the hardships of trial and error of trying to make two different ingredients be friends with each other.:lol:
Pro monofins are too much for me right now. I'm content with using the softer and smaller monofins like the Foil and Mirage. But not so the Mirage, as it hasn't stretched and hurts my left foot too much. Which is why I'm looking at making a monofin slightly bigger than the Mirage but smaller than an adult merfin.
Haha I'm not attempting custom monofins. I'm happy to use any monofin that is deemed safe ;)
My shooter monofin arrived today so I will be trying that out to see how it goes.
From my experience with a few different monofins, I do prefer the foot pockets that do not have adjustable straps because they always come loose or break!
My favourite at the moment is the competitor monofin, no blisters, no slipping and fits my feet like a glove :D
Square shaped monofin in a fabric tail just doesn't look right.
I love that fluke! Wow!
Are you talking about the competitor monofin? I saw a thread on here earlier where a Mermaid took a competitor monofin and cut away some of it to look more like a Mermaid tail shape. If you don't feel confident to do it yourself I'm sure some other friendly Mers would be able to help.Quote:

The shooter might be square but the silicone fluke covering hides all that. You can have any shape tail you want ;)Quote:

I can use any type monofin and if you have another type in mind I can give you a quote on that ;)
I wouldn't even know what else to try haha! I have a foil, which pinches, and a Finis Rapid which squeezes my feet. I'm hopeful that the merfin has some give since it's rubber. Plus I'd use socks with it. I checked the foot pocket dimensions and in theory, it should just fit lol.

What shoes size are you?
It varies. Usually a 10 for sneakers or sandals, but if I want nice shoes like heels I need a size 12.
I measured my feet and they're the exact limit of the foot pocket on the large lol

Tigg, would you be able to give me a quote if I PMed you my tail design? I'd like to see if I could afford to upgrade to the competitor to avoid any worry about the mahina not fitting.
Of course, send it through :DQuote:
