Monochrome Cardinal swimmable mermaid tail

A classic black and white number with a dash of copper accents. Inspired by the vivid, high-contrast stripes and spots of the Banggai cardinalfish.

Our mermaid tails are made from durable and stretchy SCR fabric for your ease of use and comfort. Our new fabric is extra stretchy, and features comparatively vivid colours as well as improvements to the print such as more detailed fluke textures and a stronger 3D visual effect on the scales.

All our tails feature our signature open-fluke design, with the monofin inserted from the bottom of the fluke. Color-matched snaps hold the opening closed after monofin insertion, preventing gaping during swimming while still allowing ample openings for water to pass through. You'll never have to struggle with difficult zippers or excessive drag in the water again! Due to the design allowing smooth insertion of monofins footpocket-first instead of having to be squeezed in sideways, these tail skins also easily accommodate the vast majority of mermaid monofins out there (and even some of the smaller competitive monofins), allowing you to swim with the fin you are most comfortable in.

NOTE: Our tails do NOT come with vinyl inserts by default. They are perfectly swimmable without vinyl, and using it is up to your preference. Vinyl inserts are only available as an optional add-on that you can purchase separately. You can use one set for all your Nereid Studios tails; this avoids unnecessary duplicates, is better for the environment, and saves you storage space!

Monofin NOT included.

Please note that mermaid tail skins are for strong swimmers adept at the dolphin kick only. Please exercise all necessary safety precautions when using these tails, including but not limited to: swimming with a buddy, using the tail only in water conditions you are familiar and comfortable with, and making sure you are able to remove the tail quickly in an emergency.

Please note that our prices are NOT inclusive of any prevailing customs/import/sales taxes that may be chargeable in your country. These may be independently charged by your country's tax authority upon arrival of the package, and are the sole responsibility of the consumer.

We would advise sizing for a snug fit around your hips.
