Thread: another sequin tail

  1. #121
    If your monofin/ tail is smaller that the competitor size ( 30 cm I think?) you can do a Gate check- You carry it with you through security and give it to the flight attendants at the plane door and they put it in last with all the strollers (mark it fragile and ask them not to put anything on top of it!) Call your airline before hand and see if they can put a note in your reservation or just tell the person you're checking in with that you need to Gate Check your fragile sporting equipment.

    i took mine on a cruise and had no problem getting it past security but as for airplanes my tail has never been flown so I'm not really sure how that all works.
    Sorry I couldn't be more help.

    How is the tail holding up? Have you gotten to use it this summer?

    My heels were slightly uncomfortable in the foot pockets.
    Theres a screw head just slightly under my heels.
    That and my feet always seemed suctioned to the heel area and couldn't move so I cut up some leftover
    neoprene and glued it in the heel of each foot pocket with e6000.
    The neoprene was fleece lined and is from some fishing wader socks that I was trying to use for booties and it didn't work out quite like I'd wanted so I quit using them a while ago.
    I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I think it should work great!
    I love these widdle socks for some reason

    I tried socks first, but the foot pockets are so snug and the ankle space is so narrow I couldn't even get my foot in with the socks on so I gave up on that idea.

    I have since tried the tail with the heel pads on a swim with Aysun and they are super comfortable!

    Its holding up great!
    I've had to resew on a few sequins in some bare patches on the fin tips, but other than that its great.
    I have been so busy with ren faires and traveling (I just came back from Greece!) that I haven't had chance to go anywhere yet.
    I do plan to take it to Jacob's Well in Wimberley Texas and get some pics.
    But first I need to figure out if they'll even let me swim in a tail there.
