Super exhausted! At the airport ready to head back to the hotel. Abby and Bryn were incredibly nice and amazing people!!! We had such a great day today! I cannot wait to see how the photos turn out (hopefully I didn't make too many awkward underwater faces lol!), the location was GORGEOUS and overall such a fun time! Sadly I return empty handed without a tail (the new silicone is having a difficult time sticking to the old silicone of my tail) but no worries! They'll be fixing it up this week and hopefully it will be back in my hands very soon! My tail looks like a completely new tail and looks even more amazing in water!
I can't wait to see pictures I am sure it was a blast!
Oh my gosh it must have been a dream! Sorry about your tail though :( But it was the one you wore during the shoot, yeah? So it began falling off in the water?
We were able to use it long enough for the shoot, but didn't want to risk taking it home, it should be finished getting fixed in a week:)Quote:

I thought so too at first, but the ridges aren't the same at all. There is a picture of the clay sculpt on instagram too I remember.Quote:

I don't know but I am very curious to know who is getting the pinkish tail since they said on facebook it will be a collaboration and they sounded very excited.
Does it cost a lot getting a Finfolk tail from Hawaii to say Florida?
Shipping with insurance costed me about 300, from florida to Hawaii that isQuote:

I don't think I'm allowed to tell lol I think they want it to be a surprise, they told me when I met them
Don't tell, let them surprise us!

As much as I love my tail, just want to warn anyone who hasn't ordered yet expect to wait a long time for your tail. I ordered in March of last year and got it this January. I also ordered a top and still don't have it yet. Beware, they use the terms "soon" and "almost" A LOT. I also haven't had any luck getting the foot straps over my heels. I can't fit my hand down into the ankle to pull it up. I was thinking maybe I need a long metal hook or something? Any advice? I plan on doing a full review at some point, just been very busy and distracted :$ To end on a more positive note, the tail is beautiful and far superior quality than the other cheaper tails I've owned. It is worth the investment, just be prepared for an undetermined waiting period.
I have heard or using Ribbon? Get a long piece of ribbon, loop it around one heel, keep one leg pulled back slightly so you can reach in with your arm and pull up one heel strap, then slip the other foot in (lube or water helps A LOT) and then pull the ribbon whilst kind of... wiggling you ankle/ foot around and the heel strap should slip over it eventually.Quote:

I find my heel straps just kind of... slip on? After I stick my feet in if I wiggle em a bit haha. But then again my monofin is a size up (fits fine with either nothing or booties) so that helps too because there's some wiggle room haha. If the monofin is tight then it may be a bit harder.Quote:
