Frequently Asked Questions
Which blade stiffness should I choose?
Stiffness 1 (Soft) is best for beginners, lighter athletes, and long-distance freediving where energy conservation matters. Stiffness 2 (Medium) suits most intermediate finswimmers and all-round training. Stiffness 3 (Hard/Sprint) is for powerful, advanced athletes focused on short-distance sprint events. If unsure, choose Medium — it is the most versatile option.
Is the Model 1 suitable for freediving as well as finswimming?
Yes — the Model 1 is used by both competitive finswimmers and freedivers. The wide 70 cm blade generates excellent propulsion for pool finswimming while also delivering the smooth, efficient glide needed for freediving. Soft stiffness is preferred for deep or long-distance freediving; medium or hard for pool finswimming. Not Sure which monofin to choose?

What size should I order?
Order based on your regular shoe size. Each size corresponds to a specific footpocket width in millimetres — for example EU 40 = 255mm, EU 44 = 275mm. Check the full size guide on this page or contact us and we will help you select the correct fit for bare foot or sock use.
