	Monofin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A monofin is a type of swimfin typically used in finswimming and free-diving.
		Monofins were introduced in the USSR in 1972, by a Ukrainian finswimming club, and have been used for finswimming competitions since, allowing monofin swimmers to reach speeds of 12km/h.
		To differentiate between the use of monofins and conventional fins, the latter are sometimes referred to as stereo fins or bi-fins.

	Monofin Chapter from Freedive by Terry Maas and David Sipperly
		Monofin swimmers, equipped with special front-mounted snorkels, bear a striking likeness to marine mammals-especially dolphins, who must appreciate the resemblance as well because the two often play together for hours.
		Monofins are made in two configurations, depending on their use.
		She credits the monofin’s dolphin-like appearance as a key to her dolphin interactions, but she’s quick to recognize the dolphin’s superior speed and agility.

		In the modern technology of monofin certain stability looks for and rigidity of the superior part of the body, since therefore a better penetration in the water is guaranteed and the external resistance is diminished.
		The primary phase is the one that assures an effective push and corresponds to the descendent movement of the monofin.
		The force that is exerted in the feet while when nothing with monaleta, with time, increases to the flexibility and rank of movement of the feet and ankles to improve the undulation of the kick of delfin.

	June Newsletter Monofin Training By Finis
		As indicated by Steps 4 and 5, the primary movement in monofinning is the upward and for-ward undulation of the hips.
		Underwater bursts ("shooters") on the back and stomach with the monofin helps refine the streamline position and develop kicking power and efficiency for the underwater "sprint" off the starting blocks and walls.
		Monofin training does not need to be more elaborate than the sets and drills that a coach already gives.

		With monofins it is more important to be immersed as deep as the style rules would allow, so a floating monofin will not give a net advantage.
		I personally find that the new monofins are too heavy and if floating monofins would be the answer to this I would be in favour of them.
		A monofin is characterised by dozens of different parameters both mechanical and geometrical.

		This Russian-made monofin is handmade, and the materials are the familiar circuit board glassfiber, neoprene and rubber slab.
		The monofin is at its best when you keep it in constant motion, and do not stop the motion at the end of the kick.
		Additionally the monofin is difficult to keep straight during the freefall because of it’s profile (angle and bulky wing-design).

		A monofin is a type of swimfin typically used in free-diving.
		By slowly oscillating the surface of the monofin when submerged the freediver can generate large amounts of thrust even with small or slow movements.
		The diver's muscle power and swimming style determine the choice of size, stiffness and materials.

	Monofin divers???? - Monofins
		I think the monofin is more efficient, especially if you know how to vary the stroke amplitude, style and power for different stages of your dives.
		The trick with starting out with the monofin is to understand that it is not a "kick," but an undulation of the body where your legs and fin follow through.
		Monofin does not have this width limit, so the edges of the blade are in torbulence free water.

		As you begin your monofin adventure, don't think of it as a new freediving skill to add to your repertoire.
		There are many drills to learn the timing of the monofin stroke but it is vital that you do your best to make your body the best possible conduit for the undulation by improving your overall strength and flexibility.
		Remember that the relative size of a dolphin's fin is quite small compared to a stock monofin on a human.

	Jan Ploeg: The WaterWing: Dolphin-swimming
		With a monofin on both your feet you can generate a drive that easily pushes you halfway out of the water and with a WaterWing you can almost equal the maneuverability of a dolphin.
		In monofin swimming competitions it is not allowed to hold anything in the hands with the single exception of a small air tank for underwater disciplines.
		Though the monofin is kept still, the counter forces exerted on it by the WaterWing are quite tangible.

		I am probably the worst monofin diver in the world but I still love using mine.
		Most divers can improve their dive depths or dynamic distances with a mono as opposed to bi-fins but it takes a lot of work to get the technique sorted.
		Monofins seem to be a very graceful, logical approach, and good for fitness and training of dynamic apnea.

		However, since it is vital that one must be very aware of their body and physiology, the equipment we do carry must be carefully selected.
		One of the main differences being the surface area and to a lesser degree not as much non-laminar (turbulent) flow past the fin.
		Although I didn't find that many difficulties using my plastic bifins down to 40m, I had understood from many other divers that the "lack of power" at the deep turning point was a concern with the bifins.
