is there a thread for tail storage? if not i could really use some ideas from you mers!
If you have a competitor it's super hard, especially since Raven's fluke's extend well past the monofin. And the entire thing is stiff. I dont think people fully appreciate how tricky it can be. I was never able to find something I could buy to fit it, so I had a local mermaid friend Sephina (who is also on here) make me a custom one :)
thank you so much guys i decided on a towel arc screwed into my loft bed with the tail hanging fluke up!
Oooh wow, you're such a great swimmer! Love the speed. :jawdrop:
For the mers who own a merbella's tail with competitor monofin in it: what monofin size do you have? Last 2 days i've had nightmares About the monofin being to small. And if so, are there any tips to make a proper fit?
What's your foot size Vicky? I don't have a Merbellas, but I do have a Finfolk with a competitor. I got the smallest size available (medium) and it's just right for my size 5 1/2 feet... with a thick pair of neoprene boots on ;D
I'm a 8-9 AU with wide feet and I fit a medium too haha, it's a great fit for just my feet but I'm getting a large because it's just a little bit tight with neoprene socks on. If unsure I'd say always go a size bigger, check the finis website and they have a sizing chart which I've found to be pretty accurate. If you're at the bottom of a size stay in that size but if you're at the end or even in the middle I'd say go up because you can always wear a few pairs of neoprene socks (I believe that's what Iona does because her monofin is very big for her) but if it's too small then there isn't a whole lot you can do asside from messaging raven and seeing if it's possible to get the whole fluke or monofin replaced
Just tell her your foot size
I told her my size. In EU my size is 43. I find it very difficult to find the exact size in US because every website is telling me something else. I believe she put in the Large size monofin
You should be fine with a large. According the the competitor size charts, a large is a women's 11.5-14, which is pretty big. Most women have smaller feet than that. I think a 43 is around a 10. Worst case scenario you have to wear some booties to pad it out a bit.
According to the converter I usually use a 43 is a womens 12, so a large should fit well.
Thanks girls. I think its gonna work out fine. I think its just because i'm Getting nervous for my tail. Affraid it won't fit. Monofin to small. Thank you all
Please excuse me if this has been asked recently- is there an updated list of the flukes Raven offers? Could someone link me to the thread? :)
I'm hoping to order a new tail soon! I love the traditional Merbella fluke- it has my heart- but just curious to see what else she is offering!

*But I'm not sure if they're being offered.
Pretty sure the "New One" is a one-off design for the Moon Koi tail auction she's planning, I'm not so certain that it's going to be one of those shapes you can order from her normally. :P I might be wrong, though!
ANOTHER?? Oh my goodness I'm jealous [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]Quote:

She-Creature! That's Raven's personal fluke, which as far as I know isn't available to order.
Was the fluke on the mantis shrimp tail a one-off? That thing was gorgeous.
Thank you Selene! :D I have to admit, Im drawn to the butterfly koi fluke... It's so pretty! XD
Kishiko my first tail is one of Raven's early neoprene-lined ones, and it's held up so well! But its time for a new tail to add to the itinerary and I'd look nowhere else but Merbellas! :D
