Stig's monofin:
I don't remember the brand, it might be Waterway, but it's a type 'Glide' mono as shown below, the type with them weird (but apparently effective) ... tubes, what ever, stemming out from the foot pockets.

I just got an SMS from Stig. His monofin is custom build by someone in Novosibirsk through a contact from Natalia Molchenova and Natalia Avseenko. Aparently, Stig doesn't think very much of the Waterway fin I pasted in the post above.

Novosibirsk? Anyone know what company or craftsman he's talking about?

That would be Hyperfins of Ivan Shakhov: http://apnea.cz/novosibirsk

If you look at the results of the Aarhus comp.. there is one name that shouldn't be missed: Peter Pedersen did a 213 meter dynamic. Complete report and results here Aarhus Triple Challenge 2007 « Shark Freediving

All I can say is those fins rock - perhaps the best fin I've ever tried. Somehow they have made the footpocket extremely comfortable, it's like making love to your feet...But still it works excellent.

At least looking at the photos in Hyperfins.ru it looks like the same fin...But of course custom made is always custom made.

Stig , congratulations again! Tactically only one start per day at afternoon was the best solution. All guests of Aarhus were very tired, some of them almost deadly (including me), some in tears, some in anger. Fortunately no sharks were eaten by hungry freedivers.
More photos coming soon ...
