Good to know that no power is lost, I'm wanting to put this monofin in a future silicone tail and as much as I love this shape it just won't work for what I'm planning.

I too have both the Oceanika/Mahina and the FINIS Aquarius and though both give much more power than swimming without a mono fin, I would say the Mahina has more power, is more aesthetically pleasing, and also stays on your feet. The design of the aquarius includes a single rubber strap that goes across both feet and when powering through the water/doing tricks it often slips off no matter how tight it is adjusted.
I had to break in the Mahina the first few times - I have lots of nice blisters even in socks!
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

I finally trimmed off the fluke tips! It bore little corner holes into one of my tails. Though not very visible I became so annoyed at the fin, I thought, "That's it! You two are coming off!"

Just shot and email to Mahina about the Orca fluke design, I'll post the response when I get it!

Its already been asked... They said sometime in 2014, then changed their minds later on, and said 2015. They're so busy with the current merfins, that they put this idea aside for now, I think.Originally Posted by CheshireKat

We all wish they'd come out with the orca sooner rather than later.

Mahina Merfins changed their Product Safety Warning. It used to be on another page in smaller writing.
Which makes me wonder... Has there been accidents? Or is it in reply to that video? You know the one...

They are just trying to cover their...uh...fins, litigation-wise. I'm working on prototypes!

Yea, but she doesn't advertise it with kids wearing mermaid tails. The pictures, with tails, are only adults in them.

It's still an advertisement, it doesn't say "don't let kids wear tails with these flippers" it says "don't wear tails with these flippers" soooo technically still an advertisement.

Yea, confusing, either way you look at it. Well I think its because mainly a kids fin, as they did put out the child size ones first.

True, still misleading. *makes wavy hand motions and shrugs*

I just ordered a merfin, and I still plan on using it in a full tail. I agree with PearlieMae; they're covering their tails in case of accidents. I think as long as you practice good swim safety, like never swimming in your tail without a spotter, it should be fine.
If you haven't noticed the fear of fins is rampant right now and pools are banning everywhere. Many fin makers have had to be more forth coming with safety
