It was really comfortable and easy to maneuver....I swam in it and thought about pre ordering it, but I didn't know when I would use it and I am on a budget from making my silicone tail...the only down sounds to it was that it doesn't give a lot of proportion like a shooter, because it's flowy, but I guess that's expected. Since I have a MagicTail I didn't mind it. It really made you feel like a fish

Maybe a Finis Luna would be good in a silicone tail because if silicone only sticks to silicone you could easily stick it to this monofin?
Oh oh or it could be easy to re-paint this monofin because you just get some pigment and a trial size of silicone and then paint this fin the way you want? Wait! That could mean you might be able to just make the silicone body then attach it straight to this monofin and you wouldn't have to make a silicone fluke at all...Unless if you wanted to spend time sculpting one but otherwise you could just paint the monofin. I see a lot of possibilities with this.
I really like the shape of this monofin and I am so glad it has individual foot pockets and straps.
I am just not sure yet if it would be too floppy for me. I have only used a Finis Rapid monofin.

How big was this fin? I'm having a hard time judging. I'm pretty excited about it, regardless! I like floppier fins and it's nice to have an adult monofin shaped more like a "traditional" fluke.
I was looking through some of the Mermania photos and in one photo of the Finis booth the Luna monofin looked to be the same size as the Finis Rapid they had next to it on the table. I thought it was smaller than that until I saw the photo.

The one for the smaller foot size is shorter than the one for larger feet...it's like the Wave and Rapid

I didn't try it in the pool, but I did try it on. I have a Womens Size 9 Wide foot, and when I tried it on, my left foot fit comfortably, but the right foot heel strap was just a tad too tight. The lady at the booth said that they will probably be coming out with a size Large (I tried the Medium), after all the feedback they got from folks trying it at Mer-Mania. I also tried putting it in my tailskin, which was made for a Fin Fun monofin. It was a good fit width-wise, but it is a bit longer and less crescent-shaped than the Fin Fun, so it stuck out of the skin along the bottom edge a bit.
I found a video of someone who got their hands on it early! Doesn't show what it looks like in the water, but it gives you an idea of size and floppiness!

I felt like it powered through the water as well as the monofin in my MagicTail (I have an older model), but it definitely would not compare to the propulsion of a Finis Shooter, because it's floppy after all. I think it actually makes you feel more like a fish.

Ahh cool, I thought so, so basically the difference is rubber x silicone... cool.
I wish they would make one with pastel neutral colors with some specks of shine... flakes... idk... with glitter maybe? lol
(after writing I guess I have a pretty specific idea of what I want. )
