Hello,

These monofins are on market for last 20years
http://www.skate2000.nm.ru/about.htm

Peter Pedersen used the same mono in 2nd Dutch DiveIn where he did 209m (samba).

These fins are best for speed swimming.
If you are interested we can do it

Jyri

I was thinking about the problem people reported that the bifin omer footpockets make the fin to rigid in the middle where it should be more flexible.

Sorry Bogdan, I did not want to mislead anyone.

I am quite happy with the quality of monofin. I have been extensively using it for more than a year now without any problems. They are good stuff and I can recommend them to anyone.

It is only very minor problem that occured due to the usage, wear & tear - which is perfectly normal. Black rubber inside the one of the foot pockets started peeling off (1-2cm) and I wanted to stick it back. I just wanted to make sure I was using rubber non-agresive, waterproof, good quality glue. I do not know much about materials and catalogs with different types of glue can be extensive.

I can post the photo if you want me to, but it is really minor repair and probably not worth discussing it at all.
