Derbyshire? Not a coastal destination, but a beautiful county that is home to the Peak District and the river Wye. This tail was in part inspired by the rainbow trout that live in this river. Rainbow trout are not native to the UK, however the story goes that in the early 1900s, a storm caused rainbow trout to escape from a lake where they had been stocked, into the River Wye. They found the Wye much to their liking and have thrived there ever since. Our tail draws inspiration from their colourful tones, and a gentle nod to the detailing in the spots. The colour gradients, from green to turquoise to pink, is also loosely inspired by Halle Bailey's tail colours in Disney's new live action Little Mermaid. Ariel's tail, but freshwater!
The back of this tail is just subtly darker than the front.
Fin shape shown created for Fish Fin (Lucia) monofin. Can be adapted for the Mahina, Linden, FF3, or for other fins for use with vinyl.
