They are such fun!

Take a look at https://finfunmermaid.com/ for a great place to start.

@rdm ohhhh, nice!

@rdm OH, they even make custom ones? That’s so cool!!

@luana
Suntails ( https://www.suntailmermaid.com/ ) are another good beginner's manufacturer.

I think their Nunui fin is one of the best beginner's fins around. They are comfortable and give reasonable thrust. They will also fit the FinFun tails, which is a bonus :)

Later on you can graduate to Linden and Mahina fins if you want to move on to the big flashy tails.

@rdm Will the fins fit any tails? Otherwise, what should I look for compatibility-wise?

@luana
Suntails and Finfolk are interchangeable at the basic fin level. You can also use a Linden fin in either, and it will mostly fit (there will be a little bit of the fin protruding).

For the larger tails, most of them use a Mahina. Magictail ( https://www.magictail.net/ ) are a good example, but there are many others.

There used to be a community created compatibility chart, but I cannot find it anymore.

@rdm ohh that’ll be handy. Thaaanks!!
