it's my absolute favorite! I hope you enjoy!

I've been thinking of getting one of these monofins, they look so beautiful! 💖

Great review!! Thank you for posting!

Got the black one. In large. I have size tenish feet, and with neoprene socks, the large is great. Easy on and off. Despite the lack of ability to adjust, it sits on my feet very well.

Love your style and passion 😊😍

Great review! It's my favorite monofin, but ohhhh the blisters! Get them every time if I forget socks. But the propulsion and the wonderful flop is so worth it!

I think mine fits snug enough where I don't get blisters, but wearing socks helps.

Thank you

Some other mermaids in my community let me try the Mahina, and boi was it hard to start a kick. I’m used to the dolphin kick, but it took me a few tries to get it to work. After I got a kick started, I was practically flying out of the water (I was holding onto the edge.)

Yes! Luna sinks like a rock!

I like it

You’re so beautiful and graceful 💞💞💞

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you saying that!

I have the black mahina. I just got a custom fabric that zippers up and I think it caused air bubbles and won't let me dive down. Does that make sense?

You mentioned trimming the sides to fit a mermaid tail... but didn't mention which tail? I'm wondering because I'm very tempted to get this one for a FinFolk tail - as I've seen one other mermaid trim the tips for a finfolk and proclaimed it helped propulsion. Plus I love the idea of more easily shimmying out of the monofin, which I don't think is as easy in the Shooter they recommend for their tails?

Jennifer Barrick I trimmed mine to fit my esthetic for tails I make. I have seen people put it in a finfolk uncut too. It is better and more comfortable to buy a shooter one size up if you are going to be putting it in a tail, you can always wear socks

I know this is an older video, but I was wondering if this monofin compares to the Finis Shooter regarding speed? I know stiffer is better for speed/propulsion, but this one seems much more flexible than the Shooter. I'm also curious about how easy it is to spin in because of how it flares out, since you mentioned in your Shooter review that the Shooter was pretty good at that because it was smaller in that sense. I'm gonna watch your Finis Rapid review next, but the Mahina and Shooter are my top two right now.

Great questions, the shooter is much faster and more agile, but much less esthetically pleasing. The mahina is more graceful, but still has decent power and a beautiful shape. If you are looking for a monofin to use on its own or in a plain fabric tail skin pick a mahina, if you are looking for a monofin for inside a vinyl casing or silicone tail pick the shooter.

There is little difference between the new fins, since they changed their production. The only difference is color

I'm planning to buy this soon! However, I'm confused on which size to get. I am usually a size 8- 8.5 but can fit into a 7.5. Should get the small or medium?

Bethanyy Theresa I would say go with a medium, you can always wear water socks if it is a bit roomy.

I have a video on how to swim like a mermaid. You should already be a confident swimmer before trying a monofin. Start in the shallow end and practice the dolphin kick with a kick board first. Be safe

I really want to buy a monofin. I live in Europe and the shipping will cost a lot. So I really want to make sure I get the “right” one. Would you recommend the finis Luna or Mahina? Or is there a better alternative for beginners? I want something fun and comfortable :)

The blue one is soooo stiff and hard. It made me uncomfortable.i also own. Black mahina , which is my favorite. Its softer and more comfortable to my feet. I sold my blue one and will buy Finis Luna.

Chiks Silog my guess would be not, unless you have narrow feet. I have a large monofin, I wear us womens’ 10 and have a very high instep, so the fin is a bit of a squeeze
