jejeje check out the store in Spanish http://freedivingspearfishinggear.com/lang-es/ I'll keep that name until I actually have something to put in that section. Still wouldn't mind knowing what the real name is.

Do you know what a cheehe is?

Does anyone know how to say polespear and Hawaiian sling in Spanish?

Whatever it is it looks appetizing. Nice presentation, the knife had to be sharp.

I think buying Speardiver fins is a sure shot. The only issue would be if indeed your feet are too big for even the largest foot pockets. Khalel, let me know your actual foot size. Put a ruler against the wall and stand on it with your heel against the wall, measure where the furthest toe ends. Also measure the width of your foot at the widest part. If the Avanti tre fit you I don't see why another foot pocket won't.

I started with the Avanti tre fins 12 years ago, great snorkling fin, and I'd still use it to mess around in shallow tight spots. But at a certain point to better your performance, surface swimming and depth, you'll have to go to long fins. There is no question in the matter, and carbon is the best. Whatever you do don't get the Avanti Quattro fins.

Khalel, 90cm fins don't seem long to me, they're just the way to go.

Vadim, are you saying that a Cyrano will accept a 5/16 (8mm) shaft? To my knowledge the inner barrel of the Cyrano is smaller than the other air guns and will not accept a shaft bigger than 7mm in diameter. In any case the Cyrano is not designed to shoot a 5/16 shaft.

I think accuracy is all about the shaft and bands. Maybe in California the guys expect to shoot the competitor series accurately with a 5/16 shaft. I know Riffe makes/sells those big screw on points with two barbs. While very well made I just can't see now under what conditions I would use such a point. Still when I was starting out I saw that it came with the gun and assumed it was necessary. I can tell you that a C3 with a single flopper 9/32 shaft and two 16mm smooth release bands shoots accurately, albeit I changed the handle on it.

Beautiful fish, congratz.

Big props to Hideaki Akaiwa. That article was terribly written.

If that's real I can't believe someone would volunteer for it.

I think you may have to get a shaft made for another gun, and grind your own notch to fit the JBL mech. As others have said that gun is not worth the hassle.

What's a rambo runner

I think I settled on Kanaloa. I like it even more as Lightning jones said the first part "Kana" means Dan.

There's no sound for the "j" in the English language. In Spanish it's perfectly understood though as in jejeje

Welcome to the forum Yonatan. It's very interesting to see video of Israeli beach and sea bottom. Where in Israel is that?

Thanks for the good words.

Thanks Chad. I'm almost sold on the octopus idea. Is there another way of spelling hee that makes it easier to figure out the pronunciation?

I'd start with their website http://www.jblspearguns.com/ there's an email there. Maybe they can point you to a dealer.

I remember when I was awed by Riffe. So much fun I had with my first big boy speargun, some of my best early spearfishing experiences. Riffe does make a good speargun. If they changed the handle it would be almost perfect. Khalel, a Riffe standard is a lot of wood to lug around no? But you're a big guy

Is this the gun in question?

JBL had some shitty triggers when I owned one, bought new in '99. I know they shaped up with their new wood guns.

Thanks for the conditions report Ben.
