Awww thank you!

I got it in the mail last Friday, and it came really fast within a few days it was here, even before the expected delivery date. (I’m from the Netherlands) It is an awesome fin in my opinion. I personally find it very very nice to wear socks it helps against cramps, because it keep your feet warm.

That’s awesome, I’m glad to hear you enjoy it so much. It makes me happy that there are more and more options for monofins to suit everyone’s mersonas and comfort. That is very true, but it’s the feeling of having socks on in the water that bothers me. I’m sure I’ll be able to find something that works well for me though!

I got mine in July and haven't got to swim in it yet. I am so excited to see this video. I can finally go in the pools again so, YEAH!

@@mermaidminnow oh it’s here and Ive been using it a lot ! :)

It's been awhile since you've posted, so I hope you're still active! I'm a new mermaid and I'm having a lot of trouble keeping myself underwater! I immediately float to the top. Could you do a video on tips and tricks to stay under? It's so discouraging when I can't keep myself under long enough to actually swim. 😔

I'm more active on my instagram, but I'm still here. I'm actually still trying to figure that out myself! I've found that using different monofins make a bit of a difference for me. For instance when I use my Fantasea Fin Three from Mertailor I'm able to stay under the water for longer before floating up, and i'm not as buoyant as I am with other fins. If you can budget for it, I would highly recommend taking a free diving course. Not only do they train you on proper breath holding techniques but I know a lot of courses discuss how to achieve neutral buoyancy.

My fish fin came all rolled up too! Somewhat alarming, very funny 🤣 The foot pockets are *also* too big on me, and I also Dislike socks. My solution was to take some neoprene and sew it around the heel straps a la the Linden. Worked for me, although I think I'm gonna need to add a few layers!! I really really love this fin with my whole heart, though. And I'm not even a fan of the cetacean shape!

@@mermaidminnow I posted a video of it to TikTok with the same @, if you're curious about what I did exactly. Like I mentioned in my first comment, I'm gonna need to either add a few layers or perhaps buy some thicker neoprene, but it works well enough for now!

Can you compare it to the Fantasy Fin 4 please. I am wondering how close in size they are because I would love a whimsey 4 tail. I absolutely love it in the Pirates of the Caribbean tail. You look great in the outfit.

I don’t believe it would fit in the skin, but I can take a photo for comparison. Also thank you. It is a beautiful tail and rash guard!

Now that you have had it for a while, how does it rate for you? Would you do a comparison video?

Honestly it's going to depend on your foot. This fin still gives me blisters with using swim socks because my feet are too wide for the fin (I would say my feet are medium width, I don't have to buy wide shoes or anything). If you have narrow feet whichever length you'd fit on the site would probably be fine for you!
