    Beautiful and graceful, as always :) I am so happy to see the Mermaid Linden monofin complimented your FinFun Elite tail skin so well! A happy accident! Thank you for trying it out, filming and showing how well it worked for you. The PADI Mermaid course looks like so much fun! Sending oceans of love from the Pacific, Justine!!!!

    Ok ok question who is the black lady in the pink tail. I have been wanting to get in the community but I haven’t seen other black mermaids. I feel alone

    • @TheMermaidSewist

      You are not alone. The community of black mermaids is definitely under represented especially in the professional sphere. There is an afro mermaid conference annually (i think) and plenty of creators, professionals, and hobbiest mers on Instagram.
      In the video is Mermaid Tiva! She is amazing here is her Instagram instagram.com/mermaidtiva?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

    How do you like the 2XL? I have almost the same measurements as you, but usually wear just XL in the regular (Mermaiden/Limited Edition tails), and I thought you did (or maybe even a large), too. What made you go a size up for the Elite? Is it less stretchy?

    • @TheMermaidSewist
      @TheMermaidSewist  Před 2 lety +4

      I have to update my measurements I am a bit bigger this year. It is just as stretchy if not a bit more than previous tails. I got to try this on at Mermagicon, so I have not compared size charts between the mermaiden tails and elite tails.

    Beautiful footage! 😍 how does the finfun elite compare to a Finfolk? Is one a better investment?

    • @TheMermaidSewist
      @TheMermaidSewist  Před 2 lety +7

      Based on my few test swims, I would say that without fins, they are virtually identical if used with a Linden or Shooter monofin. The vinyl is a little sloppier in the finfun than the Finfolk, and finfolk makes better fins, but pick a design that speaks to you. The elite monofin is a waste of money, and doesn’t do this tail justice.

      Thank you. I find the linden very easy to de-tail from especially compared to the mahina. It is my favorite fin to be honest! Great power. Great training form. I have a whole review of it.

    Hello!! I love your videos! But I did want to ask if you got the elite monofin from finfun as well? Also do you prefer the linden or the elite monofin (getting the new Calypso elite tail but not sure about the monofins 😫

    • @TheMermaidSewist
      @TheMermaidSewist  Před 2 lety +1

      The Linden monofin. I will make a review about this eventually but the Linden has the proper propulsion and makes this tail a dream!! The elite monofin is just too soft to properly pull the weight of the vinyl fluke. And the Linden mono friends like half the price

    I always have the same question if the material is diffrent does it still fit the same way or will it be more snug and tight

    • @TheMermaidSewist
      @TheMermaidSewist  Před 2 lety +1

      The regular finfun tails are made of the swimsuits weight spandex, these are thicker and so are a bit more snug on land, but much stretchier in the water.

    Would there be enough wiggle room to comfortably fit a mahina monofin in there perhaps?

    Looking awesome! Was it easy to get the linden monofin inside the tail skin?

    • @TheMermaidSewist
      @TheMermaidSewist  Před rokem

      So easy! Honestly it is the best monofin for this tail, maybe a shooter for even more power. The finfun elite monofin is a waste of money. It doesn’t have the propulsion to move the vinyl well.

      Check out Finfolk’s fabric tail collection. They may not have an exact replica, but they may have a similar style or color pallet
