that endcard is so soothing

Seanny has taken over editing for me, so that's all him!

This was my first monofin! I like it, I go really fast in it. Gotta wear neoprene socks if I plan on using it a lot though, otherwise I get blisters. My only other complaint is that I was hoping to make a fabric tail for it, but the shape makes it hard to work with. In the meantime I got a FinFun monofin and tail, but I would like to attempt another fabric tail for my Foil.

I got a foil for my Finfolk Madison tail. However, I feel like it's too small so I might need an upgrade. It slips down the pieces of Vinyl so I haven't actually had the chance yet to use it in a tail (gotta make it work somehow, though). Thank you for this review, it's very helpful! I'm thinking about upgrading in a year or so #NewMerProblems

Yes I put a foil in my classic cleo and it was too small.

I'm looking at buying these fins for exercise and just general messing around, but do you know if they float? I can't find anywhere that says if they do or not.

@@HFXmermaid aw bummer, was hoping they'd at least be kind of neutral buoyancy rather than sinking like a stone :( but I'll not be in very deep water so I suppose I could always swim down and get them if they did slip off.

@@svalinaren776 They sinking actually helps you a bit if you do not have neutral bouyancy - which, at my age, I no longer have ;-)

I've had two of them for a few years now. The main reason being, they rip. Not down the middle, but they rip along the straps and the foot pockets. I've yet to find a glue I could use to fix them, unfortunately. :/

oh shoot I'd forgotten all about how the straps can rip, mine did too!

saw one at my last meetup that did so, so sad :(

It's not _a "sports" monofin,_ but it's actually _a monofin for sport._ As in, it allows me to practice my sport. In many public sports pools, they do not allow more rigid monofins for fear of hurting other swimmers in your lane or in adjacent lanes. Yet they DO allow softer monofins like the Foil. So it allows me to practice my sport, as I said.

I am not sure what you're referencing or why the concern over semantics over the word sport. Did I miss a comment somewhere?

@@HFXmermaid Was a simple play of words. I mean, it's not a high-end, competitive sports monofin, but it is the one that I have to use to practice the sport - as my local sports center pools don't allow rigid ones, as mentioned. So if I want to _do_ sports, I have to use this one. Just that. Meaning that, fo me at least, this little cheerfully yellow thing sees more actual sports usage than the big "high level sports" ones :-)

Do You know affordable tail for the Foil ? FinFolk are so expensive

Yay! Finis Foil! its my all time fave monofin. It fits nicely into a medium size bag pack too. Could you do one on this monofin? Its the one with the wavy fin lines and scalloped edge. I have the blue one and it is speedy. Though I got mine from Ebay. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2018-blue-yellow-Colored-swimming-pool_60752414044.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.5.37ef2eb0TgWZ8M
