Apparently Renee in Sydney was actually getting hate mail about all this! I mean are you freaking kidding me? If you don't want your kid to swim in a fin or tail fine but don't hate on capable adults who do it for a job.

Everyone's biggest argument in this case against us is 'it's a drowning risk' and I can only assume the hate stems from people being afraid that adults doing it for a job will encourage children to pursue the hobby. Well you know what has actually killed people? Surfing. (Sorry Raina it's just a better analogy for Australia than hockey) and you don't see Kelly Slater getting hate mail do you? The only bloody difference here is that mermaiding isn't fully main stream yet. People still see it as weird or new. So yeah. Stuff you haters.
