With the softer fins perhaps some of the monofin makers haven't changed the blade design enough between the soft/medium and stiff models and just add more or less layers for the whole blade. So perhaps the really soft fins need a minimum amount of shoulder thickness of fibreglass to stop getting the bad concave. It could partly explain why Evita seems to have no problems with folding edges having a medium stiff glide fin vs a soft/long distance, the shoulder of the fin would be a a lot stiffer.
Yes, sorry, I have to retract what I said before. I talked about this with Maria and she feels her glidefin (medium) doing the ear-folding, when she dives CWT, as you can see here Havfruerne » - Konstantvægt

Also, the Leaderfins Hyper Pro I tried last week is a medium, carbon, and it wobbled.

I'll have another go at the comparison and try to get someone to watch it. Maybe find someone with a camera...
