I've been searching for an affordable monofin to start training with and I came across the So Dive Triton Monofins like This One Here.

But I haven't been able to find any reviews of it for size and fit, flexibility, and whether or not it's suitable for beginners. Does anyone have an idea or experienced one?
 
Ive been wanting to get one myself. I love to dive and dont always need to have a gun in my hand. I like to have a camera or just wanting to push it to the next level. I just went though rescue and dive masters class and also am doing capts classes this month as well or i would be doing the level 2 anywhere it was offered in florida. I think i might take a trip to FII and do private lessons on my own time and visit my grandmother up there as well.
 
Better to go a classic style mono from waterways, starfins or rocket than a cheap plastic one.
Small rubber fins are often the best for learning dolphin kick.
 
Just your cheap small all rubber fins are great for training, narrowing amplitude and working with tempo. Often you can find them in thrift shops for a couple of dollars.
I'd suggest going from small fins to a classic style monfin and then up to an Andronov style fin.
 
those definitley look like cheap plastic toy, rather than real monofin. "affordable" is a relative term, waterways "freediver Nemo Wing" for example is 130$ or somewhere around there. To me this is affordable, as we are talking stuff that was made by sportsman who knows what he is doing. As to buying "training" onofins - I am not sure I fully get the grasp on the idea, why ould one need those. How can you build muscles if you don't strain them.
