Gah, I love the black fin!

I have the aqua one, which I think is still my favourite, but the blacks just so pretty....

[Stefani]

I love to see the black fin in the water , someone has video?

Ooo! If you splash on some white paint, I bet you could reshape it into an Orca fin!

I just brought a black merfin, I'm so excited! The website states that the fins are on back-order until the end of the month but that's around my birthday so I don't mind too much. Means I can justify it as a birthday present to me from me

[MermaidBrandie]

I need the black fin in my life so bad

Woohoo!!!! How long did shipping take? I'm thinking about ordering one, but it's for a school project and I have deadlines!!! I know the orders are backed up till the end of February, but how long did you wait specifically for shipping?

[Mermaid Mystery]

It took about two weeks

GUYS I JUST ORDERED ONE OFF AMAZON!!!! I ordered the blue adult large!!! It should get here in about a week and a half! So excited, I'll be sure to update with my review here when I get it.

[hellocourtney]

I just got a shipping notification for my merfin! Definitely wasn't expecting it so soon because of the back order notice.

Now I feel like this haha:

[Mermaid Nelly]

Congratulations!!! Enjoy and have fun!!

The website says they're out of black mediums. Carla's swimwear has them in but the cost is just shy of their free shipping and everything else on the site is hoorendously expensive. I'm in need of a new top, but not for $40+ bucks I'm not.

Carla's Swimwear has always been super expensive. They're like a boutique shop but with stuff you can get elsewhere for cheaps.

I just received my Mahina Merfin a couple days ago and went swimming with it this morning, so here's a few videos so you can see how the fin looks:






If the videos aren't showing up, you can follow me on Instagram (jellydockter) where I posted a video or look up "Mahina Merfin" and you will find plenty of swimming videos! My quick review is that this monofin is AWESOME. I looked at basically every other monofin out there and I think this was absolutely the best option for me. I was swimming in a shallow pool so it was a little difficult to maneuver at first, but still flow-y enough to work in a small swimming area. It's also large enough and provides plenty of propulsion to swim in open waters. The design looks incredibly beautiful underwater. The only thing with this monofin is that if you're not wearing neoprene socks, your feet might get a little sore after swimming for a long time. I bought the size (large) bigger than my measurements to leave room for the neoprene socks; but even when I swam without the socks, it took a long time for my feet to get sore and the monofin didn't come off at all when I didn't want to (even though it was very large on my feet without the socks). It also wasn't impossible to get on and off, though I had more trouble when I tried to put it on dry. Your best option is to do it while in the water. I swam for hours and it was very comfortable the whole entire time. I love that the heal straps aren't adjustable so I don't have to worry about breaking or them coming loose while in my tail. This monofin is a little pricey, but definitely cheaper than a competitor. It was $118 new on Amazon including shipping and tax. If you decide to buy this, please buy it one size bigger than you need and factor money to buy neoprene socks into your budget. I don't want you to hurt your feet! The socks I got were about $24. I'm washing the fin and socks right now with some gentle laundry detergent in my bathtub Thank you and I hope this is helpful!!!

Woke up to this on my doorstep this morning! The tracking number wasn't working properly so I wasn't expecting it at all, I thought it was in Australia still!

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I'm interested to see how it swims but I'm definitely going to need neoprene socks, it's already rubbing. It took me a little while to get on but that's probably less to do with the fin and more to do with me hurting my hands when I fell down a flight of stairs yesterday.
Also it feels very different to wear than my hydra so that's tripping me out a bit haha.

I loooove the colour and can't wait to take it for a spin!

I used to keep lotion or lube to help my feet slip in. My mahina wore through socks really easy so eventually I just had to build calluses. :/

It's not too bad while I'm wearing it in the water. It slips on and off easily when it wet.
The first time I wore it swimming it hurt sooooo much but last time I wore it for a good hour and a half with no issues. Guess I'm building up calluses too 😊 Ah well my feet were already munted from years of roller derby no biggie 😂😂😂
