Hello,

last week i tried a monofin for the first time and was absolutely fond of it.

Now i wonder how much money i would have to spend to get a decent monofin.

Is it a good idea to buy a beginner monofin for about 100€ from leaderfins, specialfins or similar?

Should you go for something fancier right away?

Thanks!
 
WaterWay Nemo-Wing 140€
WaterWay Fins Shop

Or better Leaderfins Hyper 200€ (probably can get discount)
LeaderFins.com

Good luck! :)

Hi there! :)

I am brand new to this and would like to start swimming with monofins in pools so I am looking for the popular first fin.

You talk about the Hyper for 200 euro and talk about discount? In which terms? :) and how :p

Otherwise - any good piece of advice for me?
I am swimming for fun, maybe it will evovle, and it will only be indoors. I swim quite well but isnt prof at all. :) And my hobby is to swim underwater so it is not so much for fx butterfly swimming or so? :)

Any good fins, likely "cheap", for me? :) I guess 200 euro is TOP MAX for the price.. WOuld be nice if cheaper :)

Write e-mail to Leaderfins (Maksim) and ask :)
Maybe he do 200€, including shipping ;)
 
Ah ok, thanks :p

Otherwise, would you think that it would be the right fin for me as an only indoor swimmer? :)
 
I also have a few friend who use the Leaderfins Hyper and they very content!
As Martin said, it's the best you can get for the money. Especially the 22° angle needs to be mentioned. You won't find it on other fins for that money.
Furthermore I can highly recommend Leaderfins' customer service.
 
Will the negative bouyancy of the fin be a problem for me, since I already have pretty "negative" legs due to low body fat. I'm thinking about lying on the surface, relaxing before a CWT dive or dynamic in pool.
 
A positive boyancy fin will not hold your legs at the surface during your relaxing. For this u will need a pool sausage. Otherwise the wetsuit will do the job.

About fin get a Glide (waterway) or a Hyperfin (hyperfins) or a hyper pro (leaderfins) but before going that far it is best to train with very short rubber bi-fins dolphin kicks.
