Awesome cubera! Monster slayer indeed.

I really enjoyed this movie Happy People: A Year In The Taiga. It will appeal to the hunter and nature lover in you.

You can watch it on youtube but it's really worth watching in HD. Also available on Netflix streaming.

EDIT: This movie is in Russian and I just realized this youtube upload doesn't have subtitles. You can try to find another.

I haven't tried them in the water, but that's not necessary for me to make a determination. I like the footpockets as I stated previously. Although I can't vouch for their durability, they haven't been around long enough. Stiff sole for good power transfer, moderate stiffness footpocket tendons for good blade support without impeding flex, comfortable pocket I think it can be used barefoot if it fits you. I do think they're nicely suited for narrower feet.

The blade is light and snappy, it will provide good propulsion. I flexed it hard between my hands and there was no snap-crackle-pop. Good water channeling and footpocket rails. The matte camo pattern is pleasing, although in real life it's not quite as green as in the pic. Durability has to be established of course, these fins are so new I think Freedive Store is the only one in the US to have them.

It's interesting to see which cultures around the world hold spearfishing important enough to put on a stamp. More commonly it's traditional spearfishing rather than underwater hunting. French Polynesia leads by far with 5 entries.

Anguilla

Barbuda

Canada. You wouldn't have thought it eh

Chile

Comoros Islands

Cuba

Djibouti

Fiji

Finland

French Polynesia

Grenada

New Zealand

Palau

Welcome to the forum Dave.

That's the fish dance I was talking about. Fedor went on to win both fights. Pride was such a treat to watch. Bas Rutten for me is the best commentator.

Fedor is my all time favorite fighter too. Seamless transition from striking to grappling and vice versa, making the fundamental techniques work without getting too fancy with either. An intelligent fighter with a great attitude, packs power and able to take a punch. In a fight against a big Japanese guy he almost got knocked out on his feet, you could see his body automatically regain balance and go for the clinch. What a fighter.. too bad they all got only so many hard fights in them, I'd love to see him go on forever.

Very cool pics Frank.

How did you fit a 12V drier in the center console?

Here's what I think happened.. Camera comes off the gun as the monster pargo thrashes in the cave. George undeterred wrestles the fish out of the cave and swims it to the surface. At the surface he signals the boat to come over and collect his prize, and in anticipation of handing the fish over unclips the shooting line from the gun to remove the spear from the fish. As he focuses on the fish he forgets to hold on to the shaft, which slips out of the fish and disappears in the murky depths!

Ok ok it happened to me once. Minus the camera and it was a big Jack over El Admirante in Homestead

I've only seen the interior of new suits stick together occasionally, but it separates fine. If one of my suits was sticking together after being used and rinsed, I would have to conclude that some foreign substance caused it. Who knows what it could be, sun tan lotion, some weird lube.. an open cell suit lubed with hair conditioner and rinsed should never stick.

I think whoever wrote that had to be joking. Did they mention anything about ironing the fins too?

For open cell suits; rinse (I use a garden hose outdoors) turn inside out, rinse, let dry, turn right side out, let dry. Store rolled up to avoid creases. Don't put anything heavy on top of the suit.

You realize the first post was about putting it in a washing machine?

Oscar, the specs you provided don't help me answer your question. As a rule I cut the bands to %300 elongation, using a very short wishbone (it is then up to the individual user to shorten them if they want more punch. But %300 is relative to the band stretch, which I measure similar to what Lunker Buster posted, except to the tab closest to the mech, on the shaft that's coming with the gun. For the stated band stretch I measure to the mech mouth. Because theoretically that's where someone could put a notch or a tab if they wanted to, and that's the maximum band stretch possible with the gun. Going by this last method, the band stretch of the 120 is.. surprise! 120cm 130 and 140 also indicate the band stretch for those spearguns.

Oscar, what is your way of measuring band pull?
