Hi,

I just find out that waterway is making a new mono :

Did anybody tried it ? It's not cheap, so it has to be very good...

This link is in swedish but a picture shows a waterway fin with an angle between feets and blade.

They seems to have many solutions.

Guys,

This fins are very good for racing, and made especially for World Champs in this. I don't think they're great for freediving. The angle is for surface! They're about 350 USD, it's 2 times cheaper then from Tumen, bt anyway Model1 is great also! Buy 3 for the same price. I've not seen them in hands myself and could not try them. For racing on surface they're a bit better them Model1. Guys this mono is for champs in racing not diving!

Me and my buddys all agree that an angle between foot and blade is beneficial for constant weight diving, especially during descent.

We also think it's good for dynamic apnea.

Probably many divers will disagree and that's nature, everybodys opinion is different.

My belief is that this fins may be good even for divers! (If it ain't too heavy because of the wing construction)

But you're right about the price! (even if I would pay the double for the perfect monofin (for me) when development has gone as far as for ex. alpine skiis, but that's me)

Anyway thanks Peter for your input, you shurely knows far, far more than me regarding monofins.

Hi Namesake,

thanks!
We can check.
You're out of main region but maybe you're in the area of destination of the headoffice.
I can mail Bogdan to ask the cheaper price for you as the first diver who tryes it. I cannot garantee but can try. So mail me if you're planning to buy - it's a very interesting point for me. I have an opposite opinion but maybe you're right?! :duh

all the best
