Cracks on my Finis mono

[glubglub]

All:

I went to the beach this morning and while getting my monofin out of the trunk, I saw cracks at the end of my footpocket! :vangry On both sides (under and on top of the blade).

Nevertheless, I just did a lap between the buoys without fin; I never feel so naked before...

Does anyone ever have this problem? I barely use it over a year... Much more often the last 4 - 5 months, twice or thrice a week in the ocean, but I would expect it to last longer than this.

Anyway, I need to shop for replacement, probably not Finis brand. Their size is hard to match, come on, size 8-14... Can the range be larger?

Recommendations? I don't mind shelling out upward to 300 bucks-ish for Europeans ones; with US$ all time low against Euro, price matters too

Thanks!

what kind of finis did you have, by the range of pocket size i'm guesing one of the cheaper toy ones, they do make a fin using waterwayblades with a rubber pocket of there own that is actually quite good(about $200usd called competitor, otherwise check out leaderfins.com finswimworld.com or specialfins.com
