Have you heard of the Lucia and have you tried it? What did you think of it? Comment below!

[@MermaidZelda]

As soon as I tried yours I had to have one of my own!! 😍😂

[@charisrailey7481]

I have one!!! I LOVE it! I can't wait to test/see others test which tails it fits in!!

[@kathryncollings704]

So many new fin buddies! So happy others love this fin as much as I do 🤍🤍🤍

[@mermaidjaffa9135]

Its beautiful! Though bigger monofins are not for me, don't have the core strength for anything bigger than my blue ebay monofin. I do, like the look of the new Fin Fun monofin though.

[@thisresinates5655]

I love mine; but cannot find a fabric tail that fits it… makes me really sad considering how much money I spent on it. If anyone knows where I can find a fabric tail for it; please tell me 🙏 ❤️

[@jennilumikettu7466]

I'd soooooo wanna try the lucia, but cannot justify buying another monofin. Aaaand then Courtney announces tailskins for it... Oh, shellfishes... 😂

[@mdeville5851]

I've never heard of this fin or the drama surrounding it, but it's absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the review! I hope to try it someday, I have a feeling I'm gonna like it EVEN MORE than my Luna!

[@korischaffer197]

When you talked about never seeing anyone with the angled/not rounded feet, im just sitting here like 😅😅 ive got that...thats me...with the long big toe and all my other toes making a straight diagonal line to it. 🙄 lol makes finding shoes that fit without squishing my big toe difficult, cause most people have the rounded feet you mentioned! Lol 😅 that said, i found this monofin fits me perfect, and i LOVE it!

[@Moonsongmagic]

Excellent review! I agree with all points wholeheartedly! I have had the lucia for a month now, and absolutely love it. Thank you for bringing it to the community's attention, people will really love monofin. I also cant wait to purchase a tailskin from you!!!!

[@MermaidZelda]

Such a FINTASTIC review Courtney!! You already know I looooooove this fin and I am SO excited to get a tail skin for it made by my favourite fabric tail maker as soon as I can 😉💖

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Aww thank you my fishie! ❤️❤️

[@astrofenn7506]

I bought one immediately after seeing it in your swim-along vid with Faith XD I had been looking to upgrade from my Finfun for over a year and I LOVE that it's translucent. Not had chance to swim in it yet (Pools in the UK are very rare that allow monofins boo) but I'm in the process of making my own tail-skin for it (Lots of painting scales atm XD)

[@kenziehurlock]

What I don't understand about non adjustable fins like the Mahina, Lucia, and Fantasea ones is how they fit a range of sizes without falling off. I would think it would be loose on a smaller foot and quite tight on a larger foot.

[@shadowscalestudios]

I guess I've missed most of the new drama but I try not to get involved much myself. As for the fin, this is an absolutely gorgeous and stellar design. Definitely on my list to probably grab one next year. I've made a couple of purchases from Lucia though not this fin, so loved the detail of this review. 🥰

[@danibee]

Ahh yay! Thank you for this very comprehensive and professional review. We need more info about it out there!

[@AnnieCheungXo]

The review is fintastic! I love the Lucia monofin design and hope they will have more colour options in the future.

[@RinWindsland]

Thank you so much for this! I've been saving up to buy a bigger monofin, and was looking at this one when it popped up on your story! I decided to wait for this video to make my decision, as I've experienced similar challenges with foot cramps and sizing (I'm an EU 41-42 but my feet are rather narrow) as you've talked about in previous videos. I bought my Luna after your recommendation, and I've been so, so happy with it! I'm definitely buying a Lucia fin after watching this! Thank you again for the comprehensive review! Your content is always so helpful and constructive! 🥰💚🌊

[@TheMermaidSewist]

Also it should be noted that this fin doesn’t currently ship to the US from their online shop. Courtney if it helps to pin this comment

[@Ginnies_Dremscape_Official]

I am suddenly very upsetti spaghetti because I live in the U.S. and I really wanted this fin!

[@kathryncollings704]

If you message Lucia it is possible to get it shipped to the US. She is really good with that but need to message her x

[@Ginnies_Dremscape_Official]

@@kathryncollings704 thanks a lot for that! I'll have to do that sometime

[@KyoyamaKita]

BC mermaid here! This is an incredibly well made video. I love all the timestamps, it makes it so easy to go to the parts I'm interested in. All the comparisons and description is so well spoken and detailed. Courtney is the reason I got the mertailor and now...she may be the reason for me to getting the Lucia in the future.

[@sammiraymermaid6720]

I love that monofin so much! We need the full video with your tail skin on as it's looks amazing!!! I need it in my life! ♥️

[@tinyteeth4815]

So Exited for the review have a great day!!!

[@orlaferris8178]

I am new to the Mercommunity and really appreciate you taking the time to make this great content. Really appreciate it. Awesome video!

[@huckcrbs]

was waiting for ur review before buying it cause it is a lot more expensive than most monofins, but now i definitally think im gonna be saving up for it!

[@BrotherofAriel]

Let's goooooooo I've been waiting for someone to review it

[@theonionkiwi]

Ty for this review! It’s so useful damn. I’m really really tempted to get it for my bday now 😳 I love its shape, how big it is, and how it flops!

[@joshuanaponte1605]

I JUST ordered the lucia after seeing your reviews on it 🧜🏼‍♂️

[@samr9483]

This looks like a great monofin! I wish there wasn't so much drama surrounding it, I don't know if I can buy it with the two companies feuding like they are (Lucia and Ladonna, I don't care what mertailor thinks lol)

[@MermaidLolly]

So excited for this review!

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Me too!!

[@Ourodracos]

I know my next monofin now lmao thank you for making this video!!!! 😍😍😍

[@oceana4761]

I LOVE UR VIDSSS 💕 THEY MAKE ME HAPPYYY

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Thank you! ❤️

[@potterheadwithabluebox3508]

can anyone explain me the drama? Is it just about intellectual propriety? I have seen this fin quite a few times on social media, but did not hear anything about the drama. Have I been living under a rock? Great video Courney, mermaid from Belgium here and I really adore your tail! Hope to be able to buy one from you one day, but those damn import fees :-(

[@mystic29355]

Curious as well?

[@CourtneyMermaid]

I'm editing a full video on it as we speak!

[@potterheadwithabluebox3508]

@@CourtneyMermaid Great! Very excited!

[@lotusauriel]

Mermaid Lucia is based in Britain, and the fin ships out of China. I got 2 of them by using the message box. Her customer service is spot on. They really do run narrow, and the sizing seems a little small anyway, so size up. Other than that, totally worth it!

[@themartialartsmermaid]

Yaaaaaaas!! I'm so excited for this video!!

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Me too!! ❤️

[@Luna-ii4mx]

You make the best mermaid videos out there

[@seabisqit]

As a person with pointy footsies, I appreciate that detail haha. The flop is so satisfying :0.

[@ellegarrels2317]

i rlly want to see it in a tail skinnn cant wait for someone to do that

[@fuzzyx2face]

It’s really nice I like the shape, I love the variety of monofins out there even thought I really don’t need to buy anymore haha

[@gh0st151]

I wish the fantasea tail was more stiff I wonder if a kinda stiff but flexible vinyl casing would fix that 🤔

[@HeartOfArt7]

I hoped you would review the Lucia, so I'm so glad you finally did! ^^ I really like its shape, so it's good to hear that it's relatively comfortable as well, as I'm currently looking to buy a new monofin, actually. I really like my Fin Fun AMP, but as I've used it A LOT in our pool, it is a bit worn out by now and I just kinda feel like I've outgrown the AMP. So I thought the Lucia would be a good option, sadly it's way out of my budget as of now and the Linden, the other monofin I considered of buying, isn't available to me either 😅 I already know that I don't really want to buy any silicone fins like the Luna or the Fantasea fins (they're all very pretty and seem comfortable, but I want to get good propulsion to be really fast while swimming), the Mahina or really hard and stiff fins like the Shooter. Sadly my methods of payment are very very limited and the only fins available to me on Amazon are the Finis Foil and the Finis Rapid. I considered the Rapid but it's very big and a lot heavier than my AMP, so I don't know if I'll be able to swim in it properly, as I don't want to get cramps and blisters and such. Maybe I have to stick to my AMP for now, as I don't know what I should do 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@mermaidsyphira]

Excellent video!! I need to get my hands on one of these! :)

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Thank you! Definitely!

[@TrixTheDev]

Never knew about it, but now i love it.

[@whosyou3022]

It's such a nice shaped monofin! Speaking of finfun have you seen their new tail line? I personally find it absolutely gorgeous.

[@mermanaladar4680]

I have never clicked on a video a fast

[@Ghostoghost]

I’m making my own moon fin from lexan Thankyou for the measurements

[@hydnlver]

Your review has absolutely sold me on this fin and I shall be saving up for it! Were there any duties or fees if it came through Canadian customs? Those are always a bit of a rude shock!

[@erinscanlon5876]

Your videos are so positive and so much fun! I am inspired to become a mermaid myself :) But as per monofin do you think the Lucia would fit someone with size 12 narrow feet(really narrow AAA) and would it work for someone who is 5'11?

[@HeilielPrince]

I've used scuba socks to both keep my feet snug in a monofin and try and prevent blisters from rubbing.

[@julianaatteberry22]

I have the Lucia and I absolutely love it! I find that it is faster, lighter, and more comfortable than the Mahina and I can turn it on a dime. I do some tough swimming so I def need to wear socks. I also heard that the mertailor can custom color his monofins for you I wonder if Lucia can do the same.

[@wilhelminakey5776]

Awesome thanks 😊

[@prettybird1978]

Is that a whole new tail, you made for the Lucia fin? It looks so similar to one of my favorite of your tails. I can't wait to see the new line. I would love an orca tail for this fin.

[@lilybean9585]

I really want to try the Lucia, but I can’t justify getting one I don’t think I would use it often , I’m saving for a Luna first as I think I would use it more

[@dragongirl1409]

I saw a glimpse of it and I fell in love. I might just have to get one and then visit your shop again. Tee hee hee

[@Ghostoghost]

Love love love love love LOVE this fin

[@NerdmaidFaith]

I've been able to swim in one and oh yes it does perform QUITE well! It combines the best parts of the mahina and luna! Although I can travel easier with those fins, not so sure about this one.

[@honeyshemoves5893]

Hey Courtney, Im considering the Lucia monofin, I'm a size US W 9 and im in between sized Med and L I don't see the M/L combo size. Which do you recomend?

[@NilanOfTheMoon]

literally last night I was hoping you would do a review on this monofin soon lol, am i a psychic mermaid? 👀

[@denisedebenedictis4195]

Love it

[@MsKatzrina]

The shape of the foot pocket is great for my feet. I have Egyptian feet, my big toe is longer than the rest. I also have narrow feet. So I abshellolutely love this Fish fin

[@CourtneyMermaid]

I too have a steep slope from my big toe to my little toe, but it's still a bit harsh of a line in my opinion. In the water it's mostly fine though and socks definitely improve the overall experience!

[@mikaylacarroll9882]

Do you think it’ll fit in mertailor’s fantasea fin 3 tail skins?

[@megantilley2603]

How does this fin compare the the speed/propulsion of the finis shooter and mertailors fantasea 3 fin... I just got a the fantasea 3 and love it but now there is a fin lighter... so tempting to get but like previous I am not convinced to buy another monofin. I have the luna as well and actually do not like it at all... it is comfortable but feel like I can't get anywhere without having to do extra work. So this fin is faster than the luna but is it close to what the shooter provides?

[@jyehayes7473]

hey watching this review again just wondering does the monofin fit a mertailor tail

[@prettybird1978]

Now that you have had the Lucia fin for a few months, do you find yourself using the Lucia or the Luna more now?

[@Yoachan]

Are you going to be doing any video or anything with the whole Ladonna/Lucia thing?

[@Ylluria]

How is the foot pocket depth..? (Like underside of the foot to the top of the foot..?) That's what I struggle with most I'm the Mahina. Thanks so much for the comprehensive review!

[@jeanettecarnell8933]

Likewise,sold my orange small mahina ,need to go up to a medium for the same reason,hope it will help. I have wide feet,narrow heel .

[@trbrm6319]

Dear courtney Can it sink like the finis luna?😮 ...buoyancy level is a very important factor for me🙂...Thanks

[@BarronVonU]

You should do a review on the the fantasea “too” fin, its a bit different from the original :)

[@CourtneyMermaid]

I have! ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4LVnmRqjrB8msk

[@Throwan_Hands]

I find myself most stuck on trying to find a monofin that doesn't produce a sharp heel shape, is there one with a super smooth transition? Or does it depend on the tail you choose? I'm new to mertailing so pardon me if this is rude/silly questions,😅

[@sunnyspinach]

Ooooo if I ever got a fin it would be this one

[@peachbooks3199]

do you recommend this or luna for comfort? looking for slower, silicone mono fins and i love the shape of lucia but it's much more expensive than the luna 😭 but i love they have several colors unlike luna who only has 2

[@juliasourweek7440]

Sorry for the question, I hope you can help me. Which monofins all fit the FinFun Elite mermaid tail? (FinFun Indigo Neptune Elite Mermaid Tail) :D

[@CourtneyMermaid]

I believe only their proprietary fins fit their new line of tails but you would need to contact them to find out.

[@juliasourweek7440]

@@CourtneyMermaid Thank you for the information. :D

[@ma-ks8cq]

Which one would be better Lucia vs Luna finis for mertailor skins ?

[@alexandraalberti5029]

I have a question are there monofins for people who’s feet goes/points outward?

[@jeanettecarnell8933]

Lol,thought just me,my left sticks out (both feet pointed outward my mom did exercises, so only one tends to now,)mgreat for following me in the snow but a pain in a mono fin.

[@cathat4820]

y e essss ive been looking for a fin thats s tad firming than the luna but not quite as big and hard and the mahina

[@mmm3296]

what monofin would you suggest for someone with very wide feet?

[@alimitlive9890]

How do you store the monofin?

[@NashaBelle78]

Hi..si lucia or mahina is the best????

[@ae-winter1111]

can i put the lucia monofin in a mertailor whimsy 3 tail ?? :O

[@theonionkiwi]

Where did u get all the skins you wore over this fin in this vid?

[@julianaatteberry22]

I'm pretty sure she made them.

[@Ourodracos]

Does anyone know if the Lucia works in Finfolk tails?

[@seaturtle155]

What size should I get if I’m a size 7 1/2 foot size

[@alchemyperformingarts]

What size is recommended for women’s size 9 us?

[@sandraalbrecht3034]

i actually got this fin but... despite the recomendation from Lucia... the S size is waaay to small for me.... i have very wide feet... ( US 6 would be enough for the lenght of my feet... but i need US8-8,5 to fit in with my wide feet.... ) i will get the next size up fin with my custom tail from Lucia

[@prettybird1978]

I actually canceled my order from her because of the sizing thing. I wanted to order a med/lrg like Courtney's. I have wide 8.5 feet. She came back and was like you need an Ex Sml. I know bloody well that is not going to fit. Now I don't feel comfortable buying from her. I will probably order the same fin but through someone else. I do love the fin design.

[@sandraalbrecht3034]

@@prettybird1978 I need to add something 😅. I tried the fin from the backside…. NOW it fits??!!!! WTH? 🤣🤣🤣

[@nothing-fv5xc]

Could you fit it in a fantasy one tail skin??

[@CourtneyMermaid]

No, fin is too big to fit in a Fantasea One tail skin in my opinion.

[@mayz8024]

Would this monofin be safe and strong enough for a lake or the ocean?

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Though I have seen it used in the ocean I think a stiffer blade would be better.

[@mayz8024]

So that goes for a lake too? Thanks!

[@seaturtle155]

How does it do in sand?

[@ashleyshaw3557]

I have really small weird feet, they are quite pointed. I am the weird feet you're talking about lol. I have an extra small and this is one of the only monofins that really fits my feet.

[@andreakostler5890]

I tried it a year ago.

[@alphabatsoup5840]

What is the drama?

[@Pslm.103_1-4]

As far as I know, having had a friend named Lucia, the name is pronounced "Loo-chee-a"? Idk. It's sure pretty!!

[@CourtneyMermaid]

Right on! I've only ever heard it pronounced Loo-SEE-Ah, but I can appreciate that for sure! Thank you!

[@wingedyera]

"Nobody's feet have this angle" ... *looks down* no that's precisely my toes but...I have super broad feet so sadly this fin probably won't work for me

[@ChelseaMsChannel]

I can't justify buying from a company that makes dangerous tails like Lucia's Snake Tail. They tried to sell it as a skin everyone could use. :/

[@yuleforrest6290]

I wanted that monofin. Now i know that it is shoe shaped so that monofin is not for me.
