Re: Monofin Bend

Looks very much like my fin, when I swim fast with it. Although mine would have much move V-bend at that point. I guess a kick and glide style is always going to result in the fin bending more, as you're almost doing a standing start each kick.

Although the hyperfins have got the v-flex thing going on, I think all the hyper-style fins bend at the footpockets rather than the blades. My leaderfins certainly did and I've seen pics of Glide fins doing the same. However I'm getting one of these to try so will report back, if the shipping company ever manages to locate it...
