I think you've just got to try it. I started out with a hard blade, mainly by accident and then everyone told me I should have a softer one - my next fin was a medium but I found I preferred the hard one and would only buy a hard one now.... it's a very individual thing. Best thing is probably to try and borrow some and try them. If you can't do that, buy a medium!

Adam!
I have medium monofin, I love it for DYF but I broke it. Karmo from Special Fins said I need hard fin so I got it and I love it even more. Now I got carbon dolphin hard, I am faster compare to medium and I don't fell as I use so much more energy, my distances prove it. 120m DYF PB with medium and 135m with hard, I just don't kick as strong when I use hard fin. But everyone is different that's why the best thing for You to do before You buy it is try it, I know it's easy to say when You don't have many freedivers around. Palooza starts soon, there will be chance to try any mono You can imagine

Palooza may start soon but I am on the other side of the world.
There are a few freedivers here and a comp in August so I should get a good chance then to try a variety of stiffnesses.

I got a Leaderfin hyper pro a year back, medium blade. Love it but will go softer when I eventaully oreder my next one.
If you're heading up to to the Auckland for the 11 - 12 August comp, there should be quite a few monos you can try, mine included.
