Excellent Monofin
by
Monofin is very impressive and it fits perfectly on my feet.
Monofin worked well

Great value monofin

Great value monofin. Heavy but does the job nicely. Sizing is accurate
Fast, comfortble fin
by
This is a fast fin which really sends you through the water with every stroke. The foot pockets are made to size and are comfortable for wearing for hours, although you really need full size socks on, not just the half socks that come with the fin. And to get the feet into the fin you really need to oil the fin so the socks can slide in without too much effort.
The foot pockets grip your feet and transmit the power of the stroke, but not so much as hyper fins which are meant to be worn for less than a minute.

Totally satisfied!

I was very happy with the options available for the monofin when placing my order. The monofin is some 4kg, solid piece of work and not buoyant. The socks make up for the slight extra "toe space" so the fin fits very good, as I got one size larger than my freediving fins. The power and drive forward is excellent. I was very impressed by the the friendly price tag and fast delivery to Sweden!
best fin ever
by
I am swimming with monofins for about 25 years - this is the best fin ever! Excellent gliding in the water, more speed with less power required. Good fitting at the feet, good connection of the power in the legs to the fin.
Just great!
Just great!
Great fin!

Quick delivery from Estonia to Germany.
First impression: it's heavy (because of the rubber foot pockets and the 22 degree extension).
Easy to put on, enough space for the feet in the pockets.
In the water easy to handle from the beginning. It asks for stylish correct swimming but if you do, its driving you forward very quick without to much power to use. You really are gliding through the water. A very enjoyable feeling!
I am very happy with this fin!!!

good product

I'm living in Mayotte and I use every day the monofin, but it's my first time and I prefer again my leader fins carbon, more soft. I need more time to be easy with a heavy monofin.

A very good and comfy carbon monofin !
by
I've already bought two of these fins and i'm really very happy with both of them:
I'm 5'9 and around 138 pounds. My feet are 26,5 cm (10,49 inch) long. The first one i ordered was 39-40 - stiffness Medium. I can only wear the included toe-socks in them (still a very tight fit).
I use it for pool-training (warmer water) / when i don't plan to wear it too long (max ~90min).
I got another one of the Leaderfins Hyper Carbon Monofin in the next bigger size (41-42) - also Medium. I need to wear at least 2mm full socks otherwise this one is too big (toe-socks only is not enough). I probably could even wear 4 or 5mm full-socks in it. It is more comfy and i plan to use it outdoors / in cooler water when wearing it for a longer period of time.
Be also aware that if the instep of your foot (the area after/behind the toes to the leg) is already starting very early and going up steep, you will also need a bigger size, as the entry of the fin is pretty tough and the rubber not very flexible. A friend of mine with nearly 1 inch shorter feet than me cannot even get in my smaller 39-40 fin as the entry is soon too small (he can just get the toes inside). For him the bigger 41-42 with toe-socks fits just fine (which would be too big for me - i need at least full socks). So my feet are somehow in between the two Leaderfin sizes for this monofin.
It has a weight of around 7 pounds - and therefore negative buoyancy. With my 1,5mm suit the weight of the fin is still so much that i tend to sink slowly already at water-level. That is no problem in the pool, but keep this in mind if going deep(er) and re-check the amount of additional weight you really need !
I'd also recommend getting the blade protection and the bag for this fin. Not sure about the hydro-wings - i will have the possibility to try one with these soon.
To my opinion it is overall a very good, comfortable and fast monofin (with the 22 degrees of angle), it is neither stressfull to your feet (compared to cheaper monofins and their footpocket-designs) nor does it fatigue your legs that much (as compared to bi-fins in my opinion) if you get/find the right size (that is the main-point - as the footpockets are not soft).
