Stiffness Guide
Long Distance / Soft Blade: This is ideal for long distance finswimmers or recreational freedivers who intend to use it for long distance open ocean swimming, specialized techniques or are very petite.
Medium Distance/Medium Stiffness Blade: Suitable for all freedivers (DYN & CWT) and middle distance finswimmers.
Sprint Distance/Hard Blade: Suitable for sprint distance finswimmers. This fin is not normally recommended for freedivers.
Sizing Guide
For freediving or recreational monofin use, we highly recommend ordering up one size. These fins are designed for maximum transmission of energy between the body to fin and therefore the foot pockets are designed to be worn tight. Yes, it is uncomfortable to start with, but with time your foot will get accustomed to its use.
Ordering & Delivery
All orders are shipped to you direct from the manufacturer usually take 2-3 weeks for delivery.
Monofin Returns

We highly recommend clients to pay special attention when trying on a new monofin: 1) Wet the foot pocket with water, 2) Lay plenty of towels down to protect the underside of the fin, 3) Lubricate foot with baby shampoo/any basic shampoo or
Unreturnable fins: finger nail marks around the rubber foot pocket, scratches in the unshaved fiberglass (bottom of pool), sand in rubber, etc
