this is a great thread for me as motivation...I'm 28 and I look like a fat POS compared to all you guys <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

As for the speedo thing, to me it is something else. I have no insecurities about my manhood, I am a proportioned man who knows how to use what the good lord gave me, no insecurity in a locker room or changing descretly in public, for me, the speedo adds something else. to me it says "look at me and how little I am wearing" and that is not what I want to say, granted, right now Iwould looks like a seal in a speedo, I have been in great shape before and would have felt the same...a speedo puts your junk out on display, that is just not the type of person I am.
plus with the talent that is often waiting on the beach when Ireturn from diving....let's just say that a speedo might land me a lawsuit <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Steven really just hit the nail on the head....more than 12 feet long, sit on top and hatches.

the thing about buying a kayak is this....so many folks buy a brand new kayak and dont know anything...after they have one failed trip or several months without ever using it at all, they end up on craigslist...as a result there are a lot of yaks that get sold in great shape at a huge loss to the original buyer.

Ocean kayak, wilderness systems, hobie, cobra, and emotion all make great yaks, as does RTM.

start by looking for anything by those makers and you will be looking at quality producvts at least, then plan based on the size of you, the amount / size of your gear and the type of use you want (strictly freediving or will you also bring tanks occasionally, always solo or might you want to use the yak for two sometimes, are you interested in fishing as well) an then use that info to narrow down the choices.

my favorite yak is the scupper pro and then the 15 ft trident, both by Ocean kayak.

I have a scupper clone (currently w steven) and it does many things as well but not everything. it is faster but less stable (that is the perception by prism)

I have heard of people being obsessed with their RTM discos but i have never used one.

let us know what kind of deals you find and we'll chime in with reviews..good luck and welcome to the plastic navy

epic..those are the best memories..you can see things in slow motion somehow...like in a fight or sporting event...your senses are elevated and you have a superhuman moment

beautiful...many blessings

welcome home buddy

mine are the walmart brand, they were 6 bucks when I got them...the brand name is....

ha, upon reading the label, they are a poly spandex blend and they are the "life" brand by Jockey...great and cheap

i have lycra boxers that I wear...they are sexy tight, but they are good for a little privacy while changing...

i hate haters <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

and I cannot tolerate intolerance.

many things annoy me, few should. i hate that i am not in control, I hate that anyone thinks they are.

HAHA, great fish and even better predicted fish <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

I think the one we saw was easily that big...pushing that huge school, he was hungry.....hungry for STEEL

way to get it done hau.

Steven- don't be mad, it is nothing but love

Dan- I have such a problem I think i need Divers anonymous. "Hi, (HI ALL) Im a freediver and I have a problem"

nice grouper btw...saw a few the other day but it has been so long since i shot one that i couldn't estimate his size at all

I think you met Steven (sdiesen) on the forum) but I welcome you as well....thanks for the endorsement papaa

hahaha, steve is basically 2 dimensional..it is his diving secret....

i had a ton of fun today but shot no fish and realized, thanks to my new dive watch, that I am both out of shape and a terrible diver

I have much to learn

for me, it is a love / hate relationship with those humas....love about 80%, hate about 20%

nice cobes too. killer

Mike, they are quite tasty, you just have to be sure to bleed and fillet it well. especially great pan seared with a tasty rub and oil

looking into it...

Palm Beach

quote from the original....

Swam out from the beach in front of the breakers in Palm Beach this afternoon. Pretty rough water and not so great vis. Saw a decent sheepshead right away and got him. As I was putting him on the stringer and getting everything straightened out a bull shark(??) came to pay a visit. The spear shaft was still through the fish and I had just gotten the stringer through it's eyes. I decided to keep the fish with me and just drag everything along on my way to the shore. It took about 10 minutes to get to dry land and the shark followed pretty aggressively the whole way. As I was swimming in I stopped a few times to lunge at him and I took several jabs at him with my gun, striking him a couple times. I think I also might have kicked him a few times with my fins. During the last couple minutes I swam while holding the fish above water. Thought about trying to get rid of the fish, but I would have had to feed the stringer and the spear back through which would have taken time and required me to take my eyes off of the shark. Plus, from what I understand this is not a good idea anyway.

Just curious, for all of you more experienced guys, would you have done anything differently to be safer? I am sure I will encounter this situation again and want to make sure I am handling it the best way.

Here is the video:

that is nutsmagoo from SB...he posted that a while back...he did all the filming himself which is really impressive, no one else was there.

all that for a small sheepshead...that shark has been fed by divers or stolen from spearos before...had to be

marco- yes

jeff- it does, I would have guessed more than 2mm, but I trust Dave on his measurements

i should add that the whole process including taking the pictures took about 15 minutes...that was fast to me.

i need to grab one too Dan... I am still saving up for my suit, but this might have to jump ahead for me in priority.

what is your procedure with your PH?

swim with it on the belt and slip it onto your spear when you see the tax man? ever worry about an ambush attack or not really with the bulls around here ?

all in all i am very pleased with this product, first of all they clearly like it enough and have enough faith in it to give it away and I see why, it is awesome!!

very easy to use and a great result....I'll update in a few weeks to see how it handles the ocean

do I think this is going to replace shapelock? no, but it fits a different niche. this i great for guys like me, or shooters, who have a gun and want to make it more custom...the shapelock handles I have seen have all been built up from a frame and seemed to require a little more effort. i like it
