Hi to all,
First of all a Merry Christmas to everyone.
The reason I am posting this I am -very- confused about which monofin to get. I have been thinking about buying one for ages, but haven't found a single one off the net (living in Belgium).
I am a long time competition swimmer and got to know monofinswimming on holliday in France. Where I swim, no-one even knows about monofins, so now I brothened my search to the internet. I read all kinds of interesting stuff and narrowed my search down to
- leaderfin flyer
- waterway one wing (don't know the price?)
I am looking at spending +-250 EUR, so these look like my best bet. I could spend more, but since this would be my first monofin I am not to keen on spending +300 eur.
Before turning myself to the manufactures, I wondered if anyone would have any comment on these fins or know alternatives (I've seen some on polyorg.de, but as I read they are a bit dodgy, or at least no-one knows) that would be greatly appreciated. I would be using the monofin in the pool, but also in sea during the summer, so it kind of needs to be allround. Since it is my first buy, what should I pay attention too (angle, weight, flotation, ...?)
Thanks in advance for any replies.
(and slightly off topic, anyone used monofins in "body surfing" before? Since I do a lot of body surfing during summer it would be nice to get some practical pointers.)
