NEW Mono Fin Available

[Aziara]

Huzzah for more mermaid fins! Unfortunately my big fat feet (US size 9) likely would not fit. Though I usually go with a size 7-8 in fins because I like them tight, I think this might be a bit too tight. I wish there were donation options between $1 and $75, as one dollar doesn't seem like enough. Maybe I can make several $1 donations? Even though I can't get one of these fins, I still want to donate so that it's more likely that the adult sizes get made

How are they adjustable other than the heel strap?

[cosmick]

Hi Lila
the entry of the foot pocket is 74mm the widest point is 90mm don't forget that they are rubber so it is flexible. Their has been extensive testing by many children and their has been no blisters or complaints about sore feet.

hope that helps

the straps are the adjustable part. The fin is made from rubber

[Lila]

Thanks for the info!
I hope your campaign works out, I'm looking forward to testing out my pink one (or gifting it to my niece if it does end up a bit snug, lol)

[Sherielle]

I wish I lived in Australia.

Lila thankyou very much for the pledge. I hope we get some more interest over the next month.

Aurelia we would love to have you downunder

Are you going to change the name of it?

I kinda like Cape Byron Mermaid Fin.

STOP THE PRESS

I have worked hard developing this and you have all shown me a great deal of encouragement...It has distressed me that I haven't been able to accommodate all of your wishes to try my mermaid fin. So I went back to the drawing board this weekend and redesigned the fitting system to accommodate an even wider range of foot sizes...including my own (6'0" 85Kg Male). I had lots of fun in the pool with the kids and dog trying it out for my self. AWESOME...

My foot size is Male size 10 (AUS) but it is fairly narrow...also it took a while to get on.

Tomorrow I will be updating the kickstarter campaign to include photos and videos OF ME (sorry for the hairy neanderthal look...you will see).

Anyway, I just wanted to give you folks the scoop, you have helped me to make an even better product.

THANKS stay tuned

Mick

Way to go Mick!

[cosmick]

thanks Ania, I am stoked

[cosmick]

THANKS AGAIN TO YOU ALL...here is a thankyou kiss for all your support.

you can also find video of me wearing my mermaid fin on my kickstarter campaign (Hairy Neanderthal Warning). There is a special tribute to you ladies at the end of the video

I have successfully altered the fitting system to be able to fit my own foot (Male Size 10 AUS) Had lots of fun!

As long as your foot is fairly narrow (like mine) my fin should now fit most ladies feet without a problem.

all questions & comments are welcome.

[PearlieMae]

Awesome!

I love it! I hope this encourages more people to support the campaign

[cosmick]

Thanks Melaina...me too

[Mermaid Jaffa]

How cute! Did it pass the Paw Inspection?

[cosmick]

lol.

yes it did. My puppy can swim like a mermaid, even with all that fur

[Mermaid Galene]

Sweet! And I love the look of the monofin.

[Miyu]

Wow, I'm really stoked about this monofin!!! I adore the shape, and those footpockets are simply perfect. I really like that the whole strap could essentially be interchangeable, no more worry about broken straps ruining a whole monofin, those straps look so easy to replace!

I usually fit into child-size things, but my feet are on the wider side (just really short). My mertender, though, definitely has large man-feet, so I'll be anxiously awaiting the adult sizes for him!

If your kickstarter doesn't work out (though I sincerely hope it does), I would suggest possibly funding through a site that doesn't require you to hit your goal to receive funds (like gofundme).

Either way, I look forward to getting a monofin from you sometime - I really am in love with your design! I'd place an "order" for one right now if I had the funds!
