So the nearby lowes has a sheet of 28" x 30" x .093" lexan. I taped paper together at home in the same size, and sketched my monofin/fluke. I'll also be buying some flexible plastic tubing, 1/2" sliced lengthwise and slipped onto the sides as support (also as "bumpers", if I accidentally whack anything), and some 3/8" tubing for the other veins.
i do have a couple of questions.
Is there any reason that most monofins put your ankles so far apart? Is there anything wrong with me making a single neoprene 'bootie' that fits both feet together? Or does the space between the feet help with the dolphin kick?
To get the shape I want with the size, I ended the pattern where the arch of my foot begins. I also like the semi-extended look it gives. Due to using neoprene for footpockets as I mentioned earlier, heel to arch of my feet will be flexible. Will that badly affect my swimming?
