    If you have a competitor it's super hard, especially since Raven's fluke's extend well past the monofin. And the entire thing is stiff. I dont think people fully appreciate how tricky it can be. I was never able to find something I could buy to fit it, so I had a local mermaid friend Sephina (who is also on here) make me a custom one

    For the mers who own a merbella's tail with competitor monofin in it: what monofin size do you have? Last 2 days i've had nightmares About the monofin being to small. And if so, are there any tips to make a proper fit?

    What's your foot size Vicky? I don't have a Merbellas, but I do have a Finfolk with a competitor. I got the smallest size available (medium) and it's just right for my size 5 1/2 feet... with a thick pair of neoprene boots on ;D

    I'm a 8-9 AU with wide feet and I fit a medium too haha, it's a great fit for just my feet but I'm getting a large because it's just a little bit tight with neoprene socks on. If unsure I'd say always go a size bigger, check the finis website and they have a sizing chart which I've found to be pretty accurate. If you're at the bottom of a size stay in that size but if you're at the end or even in the middle I'd say go up because you can always wear a few pairs of neoprene socks (I believe that's what Iona does because her monofin is very big for her) but if it's too small then there isn't a whole lot you can do asside from messaging raven and seeing if it's possible to get the whole fluke or monofin replaced

    I told her my size. In EU my size is 43. I find it very difficult to find the exact size in US because every website is telling me something else. I believe she put in the Large size monofin

    You should be fine with a large. According the the competitor size charts, a large is a women's 11.5-14, which is pretty big. Most women have smaller feet than that. I think a 43 is around a 10. Worst case scenario you have to wear some booties to pad it out a bit.

    According to the converter I usually use a 43 is a womens 12, so a large should fit well.

    Please excuse me if this has been asked recently- is there an updated list of the flukes Raven offers? Could someone link me to the thread?
    I'm hoping to order a new tail soon! I love the traditional Merbella fluke- it has my heart- but just curious to see what else she is offering!

    Pretty sure the "New One" is a one-off design for the Moon Koi tail auction she's planning, I'm not so certain that it's going to be one of those shapes you can order from her normally. :P I might be wrong, though!

    There's another merbella fluke too. I cant remeber the name... She- something or another... Gosh, what was it?

  19. #5259
    She-Creature! That's Raven's personal fluke, which as far as I know isn't available to order.

    Was the fluke on the mantis shrimp tail a one-off? That thing was gorgeous.

  20. #5260
    Thank you Selene! I have to admit, Im drawn to the butterfly koi fluke... It's so pretty! XD
    Kishiko my first tail is one of Raven's early neoprene-lined ones, and it's held up so well! But its time for a new tail to add to the itinerary and I'd look nowhere else but Merbellas!
