hi mauiman, welcome to the forum.

i need a fin for the pool and in the ocean so i'm getting a leaderfin *wings*.

i like the angle and wings so i want mine in a medium stiffness.

the softer the fin you can use it longer distance, and the harder fins are for sprinting.

since i'm not competition sprinting i've decided to get a medium with maybe one layer of hardness added. i personally don't like soft fins. my fin will be between hard/soft.

i spoke to asturven about the leaderfin wings (before and after i've decided on that fin).. he said perhaps they will not start making fins again until after the holiday so i have to wait.

right now i use a finis flyer and a finis tempo, they were my first monofins because i wanted to be sure i could swim properly with them before i tried the ocean with a proper fin. they're WAY too soft and more for water fitness. i'm sure more people can give you more help.

but you can contact asturven here.. he's the leaderfin rep for north america.

if you want to use it in the pool and the ocean i would rec a medium stiffness because they are between soft and hard and probably best for both.

good luck.. let me know which fin you choose and how you like it.
