Ted's Wings Nemo Monofin Review - Ongoing

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
thanks MHF - I forgot to add the Tropol pocket material is not as prone to making blisters.

I've not tried nor seen the Leaderfins - but I've only heard good about their Hyper.

MHF - what size feet do you have - and what size Tropol did you order. (thinking of going a size down for my next one )
 
Monekyhatfork, have you ever had a finis competitor fin? I'm torn between the medium and hard stiffness because I want to go fast in the water and I feel like a harder blade will help me accomplish that. Thank you guys so much by the way, this is really helping :)
 
I'm definitely going with the medium blade, I'm going to be spending a long time in the water with it and I have a feeling the hard blade might make my feet cramp after a while. Do you have a video of you using your nemo in the water Fondueset?
 
The only videos I can find right now are old and with crap technique. I have one short one from when I finally started to get it - if I find it I'll post it.
 
yes I had a finis cpmptitor medium(my brother has it now) the blade is plenty fast, Gai- the fact that you can try the leaderfin makes all the difference--if it fits good and you like it buy it otherwise you are flipping a coin as to what will fit you, you can end up with allot of gear before finding the perfect fit, fonduset- I have 9.5 shoes us and have the size 3 I use barefoot is snug without any wiggle but not real tight I could sqeese in socks if needed I would think up to 10-10.5 feet could fit but would abviously be a tighter fit but I think the topol material is more forgiving any bigger and your heals might not fit in the heel support right
 
jknrby- your feet will not cramp in the nemo, it's the main + of that fin but a hard blade will burn out your muscles quicker in long sessions
 
Not only time but what kind of diving you are doing I you are in one area resting between dives or covering long distances surface swimming between dives, I've not been doing it lately but I had been doing a few hours-several mile constant surface swimming with the nemo soft no rest before work in the morning some fun dives at the end, on trips I spend all day in the water broken up by meals etc, but my day to day right now is a 1-2 hour pool session
 
jknrby - you are into a realm of questions now that you'll probably need to sort out for yourself. Endurance, muscle fatigue etc. are all subject.
Generally a soft fin is better for distance - a hard fin for depth and sprints.
I've done 6 hours in all of my fins.
 
Then the medium would be a better bet (just like you guys have been telling me haha) because I'll be spending much more than 2 hours in the water every other day. I'm going to get it right now!

Thank you guys so much, it really helped assure me
