Raising funds for a monofin

[Mermaid Ichthya]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or not, or if I'm even allowed to make a post like this.

I am raising funds so I can at the very least get a monofin, any help would be much appreciated.


So please share and/or donate if you can

$60 isn't much though, I bet you could earn that money babysitting or ask your parents if you did some work to earn it. That's within reach of what you're able to do I think.

Oh, I thought you were someone else from another thread who was a teenager. Nevermind

If it makes you feel better, you don't look 31 in your picture. I thought you were 16 or so.

My wife and I have the same struggle. If I shaved off my beard/mustache I would look real young. You'll appreciate it as you reach your 40's and people still think you're in your 20's.

Save up all your change. Put aside a few dollars each time you get paid. You'll get that fin in no time, and it'll feel much better because you did it on your own steam.

We don't have Walmart in Australia, but a quick search https://www.walmart.com/search/?query=%20monofin indicates that they carry quite a few.
Get a cheap monofin (any recommendations, mers?) and see if you are really into it, then save and fund raise for the expensive one.

Eh, I think it's a better idea to save up a little and start out with a monofin that can be used in buyable tails. Then by the time you're ready to get a tail you don't have to save up for the monofin AND the tail. I got a Finis Foil as my first monofin, intending to practice and get a tail later. It's a great monofin but it turned out, there weren't any inexpensive fabric tails that would work with it so I had to save up extra for the monofin. Besides, I'm not sure if the super cheap monofins are high quality or particularly safe, so if you get something that didn't last long it's kind of a waste of money.

With that said, FinFun still sells their original monofin. It's a perfectly good fin and it's a lower price so if you're really that short on cash I'd recommend going for that.
