Well, I decided to decorate my monofin, so that it would look more like a natural fin, and so when in my black wetsuite it would look more like part of me in the water....and then I put the shark in there, but I may fill it in...not sure yet. There is also a hiiden quote in there :)

Martin.

p.s. sorry if the image isn't there the first time I post it as I haven't used attatchments before!

Very, very cool Martin! How did you do it?

And imho the shark looks cool as it is... although when you fill it, it may look even better, who knows. Make sure you test it somehow to see how it looks, before you fill it permanently.

Oh, and it should be moved to the equipment section I think.
 
Thank you for your kind comments :)

It was done using a marker pen, I didnt plan it out, I just did it as I went along.

The reason for filling the shark would be to give it a more natural tail like appearance, maybe filling it in with a thinner pen so it still stands out, who knows! :)

I've attatched a few more pictures, just of it as work in progress. The one with the photos below it is how it hangs above my desk, where I work from, when I'm not using it....if only it were on my feet more!

P.S. I wasnt sure where to post it, it is equipment, but surely it is also generally about freediving in some sense :) I'll have a look on how to move it now :)

P.P.S. I can't figure out how to move it....is it possible for me to do? sorry.

suprisingly enough it doesnt take that long to do, it's just finding the time to do it that's difficult. If I told you where the quote was then everyone would know :p
