FINIS Founder and CEO, John Mix has believed in the Monofin for quite some time. The Monofin was the first product in the FINIS line, after John – a professional water polo player at the time – arrived back from Europe. It was there where he alos had his first encounter with this spectacular tool.
The FINIS Monofin has grown immensely in popularity since 1993 due to the unique physical benefits that the user experiences. Not only is the Monofin a great tool for increasing the muscular endurance of the legs, but also a great tool in strengthening the core muscles of the abdomen and back. Strong demand for the original Monofins led John and his growing FINIS Team to conceptualize new designs that were suited for all reaches of aquatic athletes. Today we see a number of designs that vary in size, color, and materials and each are designed for a specific purpose.
