So I'm pretty new to freediving and want to buy a monofin.
- Budget is €250
- needs to ship to Ireland
- I want to use it for pool training DYN
And CWT 30M+
- I'm a strong swimmer with a good Dolphin kick so I'm guessing a med strength blade?
-I've tried the Waterways Glide ... Killed my feet after half an hour but there was some power in it! (Plus it's outside my budget!)
- female, 5'7'' and size 37 feet (if that's at all relevant?!)

I've being looking at Nemo waterway and leaderfin 'hyper with neoprene' monofin.

Any tips, suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Whoops! Clearly a newbie... I posted it in the wrong forum!
 
With your price limit you may be limited to a Nemo. If you are training to compete, you will eventually outgrow it and you will need to get a more expensive monofin. But, a Nemo should be comfortable for training and get you through your first year before you start craving a fin with more capability.
