Re: Buying a monofin in Europe

Talking about fast, I just had a reply from Leaderfin (only send the email yesterdaynight).

They advised my a "freeflyer". I send a reply asking the difference between "freeflyer" and "wings", since they seem much alike (I guess the main difference would be the distance between blade and footpockets).

[edit; I already had a very interesting reply. It seems that the "wings" model features an angle on the blade itself, much like the carbon freediver. The "freeflyer" has an angle between blade and footpockets using rubber, just like the "flyer" model. I really like the "freeflyer" and I might just take it ...]

Maybe the "Omer" model would be suitable as well, since I have no experience in monofin swimming and I expect the fin to take a few beatings from other clubmembers who will surely want to test it out. I could always move on to an "andronov" type fin, which seem more advanced.

I also got a friendly invitation from Lars to go and test some monofins in Eindhoven which is not very far. I might take him up on that.

I'll see where it goes.
