Re: Leaderfins - "Omer" & "Freediver"

they have a model with the angle and wings.. it's the "wings* model.

it's the one i'm ordering myself (FINALLY) for xmas.

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
