also, you may want to contact ivan.. he's on the forums. i dont know if you're in the US or not, but he's the US representative for leader.. his screen name here is asturven.
i know someone that got the *wings*model here and he likes it for the most part.
as far as tips for using a monofin, it was my first introduction to swimming. just make sure someone is in the pool with you. it may be awkward to you at first, whenever i let someone try my fin they usually go under quickly and end up trying to kick the fin off and i have to come in and help them.
if you can dolphin kick then you'll love a mono- plus the speed it gives you and more efficiency!
i hope this helps.
but contact ivan, he can help you pick the proper fin and hardness. he helped the other person i know here to pick their fin and we've spoken before. he's very helpful
