    Wow that looks amazing! I think I'm pretty much convinced that I will be coming to Raven for a basic tail. Her work is beautiful.

    ^ I am not really fond of the shape of the fluke in the basic tail. definitely saving up for the performance tail...

    Wow that is beautiful!! Did you get the performance one? I still can't tell even though I've seen a bunch of photos now LOL.

    I think what convinced me that I wanted a Merbellas tail was the shape of her flukes. They were the closest thing to dolphin shaped flukes I had seen. That being said, I'm actually not too big a fan of the two different shaped flukes she recently made on her basic tails.

    My tail is the performance model. Straight silicone, no neoprene, and a competitor monofin. Its been trimmed down to allow the silicone to pull it and bend it a little easier so its not too unnatural looking.

    Seriously, my merbellas tail will be a year old next month. A YEAR OLD. And look at it... LOOK AT IT....



    No photoshopping aside from the colour filter to try and avoid the over the top green from pool water/lights. That tail STILL looks every bit as great as it does when I pulled it out of the box, and we did the math... I have done over 100 mer gigs/events/photoshoots since I got it! It's been in all types of water, it's been dragged across sand, rocks, and concrete. It's been flown around, stepped on, dropped, kids walk on it constantly. I mean, I try to limit this stuff but the fact is I use this thing constantly so it gets put through some stuff! It's been in the sun lots, in the heat, and in the cold. The paint has never chipped, faded, or scuffed. It tore once due to my boyfriend trying to pack it and not understanding he couldn't fold the monofin- Raven fixed it when I got to Florida and you'd never be able to tell. I also poked a hole through it when I fell in it and my strong fingernail went through the thinnest part. Again, fixed, and you'd never even if you had it in your hands be able to find the spot. It glows under black light, and this thing was the first silicone one she's made. Her tails have improved SO MUCH since mine, so just think, mine is THIS GOOD and yours will be better

    I'm just excited for all of you getting one. You will want to sleep in a bed with it and give it a name. Haha
