Re: Lunocet progress

Hi everyone,
I brought the Lunocet prototype (titanium version not the latest design) to the Mexican championship, I had both Martin Stepanek and MT Solomon try it. And to tell you the truth although both of them have an excellent monofin stroke, they were having a hard time with it at first as you need to rethink the way you kick with an hydrofoil. MT was surprised by the absolutely no shimming behavior of the fin (no side to side movement that leads to a lot of inefficiency)."It is easy to use" said martin, "it is so different..."
The "it is so different" is a good thing it is called change and Ted Ciamillo at Lunocet will, I believe take us for a ride. Make sure to keep your eyes out for a DB full interview of Ted and the Lunocet Factory.Further details on the latest improved designs will be unveiled.
In the meantime here is a short video with the Lunocet titanium prototype in the blue water of Santa Rosa Blue hole in new mexico.
