I was skeptical of these. They seemed high maintenance & would they work that well? Would the kids take them off after s short time? Will they fall apart? It's a big investment for a pool toy. All my concerns were unnecessary. These fins are fantastic & the kids can get them on easily, and they play with them constantly. The work well to seimmin, the flippers inside are great quality.

Their measurement guide is right on! My daughter LOVE IT!!! FYI if you are giving as a gift. The stickers to protect the fun need 2 hours to cure before swimming. (I gave mine to my daughter at her birthday pool party). I went ahead and let her swim and it seems fine but I have new stickers on the way just in case! My daughter is 43lbs 4 feet tall and her waist is 21 inches. The tail fits perfectly! (M). The suit came a few days later. (They were out of stock). The bottoms are a bit big as I expected but they still stay on! (Also size M).

Install Flash Player This tail is amazing! I absolutely love it! I originally ordered a JL based on the size chart, but I must have lost more weight since my last sizing, because I had to go down to a JM. The seller was super helpful about getting the exchange handled! It only took a few days to get to me both times too!

Absolute BEST purchase ever on Amazon!!! My daughter loves it and its the best quality and price. A MUST BUY!!!

So much fun! I am an adult woman and was afraid the tail might be too small for me, but the JL size fit fine, was even a little roomy in the waist. I'm very curvy and chose the size based on my hip measurement, as I was afraid I'd burst the seams if I went by waist size. Swimming with this tail is a great core workout, and doesn't feel like exercise at all. I got the tail and followed the instructions for putting the tape on (it really helps to have the monofin inside the tail). I laid the tail on my kitchen table, I folded the tape in half so I had a fold line as a guide, and only peeled back half of the tape backing at a time. I found it easier to adhere the tape to the back part of the fin first, then remove the rest of the backing to adhere the othe half of the tape to the front of the tail. I then used the blow dryer on it as indicated in the instructions and left the recommended extra tape along the edges and let it cure overnight. The only issue I had (nothing to do with the tail itself) is that the adult (Nunui) monofin was way too big for me - I wear a size 3-1/2 and my feet do not make it past the monofin logo in the photo, so my feet did not even come close to that third strap(though it was fine for my friend who wears a women's size 10-11 shoe) so the fin would come off my feet while swimming even with the two other straps secured, and I found it difficult to splash the fin up out of the water (the photo showing the splashing fin is of my friend wearing the tail). I bought another monofin in the child size (Keiki), and my feet again didn't make it past the logo, and only by shoving my feet in as far as I possibly could was I able to reach the (only) strap (barely) on my toes, so the fin still felt very floppy, but was not as heavy and was more maneuverable and I could lift it out of the water. Even though the fin was much smaller, the tail still fit okay over it and made the monofin less floppy; there was just extra fabric hanging over, which I can probably fix with some Velcro to close the bottom opening. My friend and I had a blast taking turns using the tail and fin, and it is easy enough to out on in the water (I sat on the pool stairs to put it on, as once you are wearing it you pretty much have to pogo hop to get anywhere if you aren't swimming). The monofin is also very fun to use on its own and the foot section is neoprene, comes up over your ankles like a short sock, and is very comfortable. I have swum everyday (weather permitting) with with the whole tail or with the fin alone; such a blast to use!

Super cute! I ordered small since my daughter is a tall and skinny 8 year old and it was a perfect fit! It has been used all summer in a gunite pool and still looks brand new!

**update: i love this monofin! Haven't used the skin yet as I'm still practicing. The monofin is extremely durable and strong, gives good propulsion. My only issue so far is the velcro isn't easy to get tight enough but i have a few ideas on how to modify the fit including neoprene booties. Great workout tool since its so stiff of a monofin! Really fast shipping turnaround!!! I haven't used this yet as it came yesterday but i will be today! The monofin seems extremely sturdy and the fabric is just GORGEOUS!! I got the purple one and photos simply don't do this patterning and color justice! It comes with tail protector tips for new swimmers to prevent newbies scraping the fabric off the tips of the fluke and a ton of instructions. Color me impressed so far!

We just received it Friday it wasn't opened until Saturday for an early birthday present and she could hardly wait to get in the pool with it. She is turning 8 and weighs around 60lbs and is average on her height. It fit well, I bought the 8/10 and it may be a little big but I'd rather her have a little room to grow so hopefully she'll get 2 years of wear out if it. By no means is it hanging off though. I didn't do the measurements as to not give away the surprise. So far we are very happy with it!

PERFECT fun for my 7 year old little mermaid! My daughter got this for Christmas and was over the moon! She has used it about a dozen times since, and although I don't recommend it unless you child is a very strong swimmer (or willing to wear a float) she has quickly learned the skills needed to use this item safely. Required skills: - very comfortable with face in water - able to swim with dolphin kick both above and below water - able to turn onto back and float This product also has a "quick release" sock for safety. My daughter can easily kick herself out of her tail and pull the whole thing off in just a few seconds if she gets too tired.

awesome customer service with this company. My daughter's monofin snapped at the flex point and I sent in a picture or two and they sent a free replacement. They said it was a design flaw. I must say I wasn't expecting that! She had only used it 3 or 4 times before it cracked. The suit fits as expected for my 14 year old. This is the best birthday gift for a 14 year old!
