Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the WaterWay Glide monofin with Handmade blade?
It is designed for competitive finswimmers, freedivers
What makes the WaterWay Glide monofin with Handmade blade different from other Glide Monofins?
The blade for this monofin is made using the same traditional manufacturing process that was used to produce monofin blades roughly 40 years ago. This old-school method is fundamentally different from the modern, more automated production used in today’s standard Glide fins. The process is significantly more time-consuming, requiring skilled hand labour at every stage — including hand polishing to ensure optimal streamlined behaviour underwater.
Some professional athletes specifically seek out this style of blade because of its distinct performance characteristics:
-
More responsive — the blade has a crisper, snappier feel compared to modern blades, giving the stroke a sharper, more immediate kick
-
More efficient kick cycle — the kick becomes more explosive and defined, which certain competitive finswimmers and freedivers prefer
-
Higher resilience — hand-made blades are known to exhibit greater responsiveness and resilience than their modern counterparts
Can I choose different stiffness levels?
Yes, the WaterWay Glide monofin with handmade blade is available in 7 stiffness levels, allowing you to choose the setup that best matches your body type, power output, and training needs.
What color options are available?
