@kelpiedreams thanks for the comparison, you are not the only one that got cut up by the mahina, I have to use my dive socks with it too. Had some bad marks on my feet for awhile after one performance. Any suggestions with buying lucia silicone tail vs mertailor one? I know the lucia is a thin silicone but also way cheaper, but mertailor is well known quality

I've been planning to get a Mahina but I'm concerned about the sizing accuracy and fitting. For reference, I have a Women's US 5 shoe size. The adult monofin's smallest is at US 6-8; but the kid/junior monofin's largest is exactly US 5. Is a size-up necessary for a better, comfier fit or do I stick with my real foot size? Either way, I'll be wearing 3mm neoprene socks with it.

Love this comparison. I just got the Lucia and I don’t really find it to be a slow monofin. But can only really compare it to the Linden. At first I noticed it being slower but as a learned a slightly different technique with it I can still zoom around in it. I swim in the ocean in Hawaii in mine and find it to be fully capable of that.

@kelpiedreams2 жыл бұрын
it's not unstable at all - if it was I would have said so! It's actually very dexterous, as in, it is STABLE enough that I can execute really tight maneuvers. The Lucia is pretty to watch though! I actually saw someone cut her Lucia to fit a Mertailor F1 skin and it worked really well.
