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![]()
thank you so much guys i decided on a towel arc screwed into my loft bed with the tail hanging fluke up!

Oooh wow, you're such a great swimmer! Love the speed.![]()
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
Just tell her your foot size
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
According to the converter I usually use a 43 is a womens 12, so a large should fit well.
Thanks girls. I think its gonna work out fine. I think its just because i'm Getting nervous for my tail. Affraid it won't fit. Monofin to small. Thank you all
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!

*There is also the
Calypso
'The new one'
*But I'm not sure if they're being offered.
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?
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.
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!![]()
