Hi,

I recently modified my waterway monofin to add wings and bouyancy to it for dynamic. First test with it was today and it felt fantastic. Attached are some pics and here are some stats for those that are interested:

New Weight - 2.2kg
New Bouyancy - 1.2kg (+ve)
Shaped from EVA (30) foam
Covered in 0.5mm Butyl rubber

....I am now thinking of cutting the tops out of the footpockets and remodelling them to create an angle to the blade to improve the glide further?

My first max effort with it added 16m to my dynamic PB :friday
