Mahina Footpocket update: I went swimming with my friend and I think I have fixed my Mahina with the cutting I did to it. We still used socks with it, but I felt zero discomfort! It was so nice! I think we almost swam for 3 hours! The only issue I had was going back and forth between that and my Rapid. My friend would use the Mahina for a while and I would use the Rapid, then trading off was weird. The Mahina feels like nothing is on your feet compared to the Rapid which you definitely know is on, but I felt like I was getting better push from the Rapid where as I felt like I couldn't stay under as long with the Mahina. I do however think this is due to what others have been saying about the Mahina being a different fin - Floppier, makes you do the correct movement more, etc. I am more used to the Rapid so I am still trying to figure out the Mahina, but man it is great to have solved the footpocket issue.
Let me know if any of you want photos of how I altered the monofin for reference.
