I have seen a lot of references to monofins lately and have been wondering about them. They seem a little on the expensive side for an impulse-purchase. What are the differences between the different models? What are the advantages of a monofin over a regular pair of fins? Are there things took for or to avoid? Are they a pain to lug to and from workout? Do people look at you funny like when you wear the center-mount snorkels? :eek: Any other consumer advice?
I got mine yesterday and tried it out this morning. Immediately found out some interesting things. My streamline isn't very streamlined. At that speed it showed there are all kinds of adjustments I need to make. I can go faster face down than face up. And I'll need to go easy at first to let my feet toughen up so they don't blister. The tops of my feet are real tender now.
I also got a center snorkel. Haven't had a chance to test it yet. Maybe tonight.
