i have seen this before and the test then was a hot dog...shit was incredible, the guy did a normal rip down the length of a 2x4, at the speed Iwould be cutting, and had the hot dog laying on top of the wood. it barely cut into the skin of the hot dog...mind blowing
I think the real test would be if you fell onto it
aaron your avator rules BTW
next generation is the shit
another micromask convert...
wow is right, i freaked out the first time i put it on and yelled to hau.."I can't see my mask!!"
after he stopped thinking i was crazy he laughed and said, "ahh, so you bought the micromask"
even the mutton suicide mistake doesnt help me break the mutton curse...to this day, I have shot at least 5 and never taken one home 
glad you are out there living the dream Hau 
for sure buddy, the offer stands too but i hope you are comfortable this weekend and don't feel like a change is needed
i have heard good things about thier guns and great things about the customer service they back them up with
i would be happy to lend you my micromask or a few others if you want to just try them out for this weekend....I live in downtown miami so let me know if you want to come by and borrow some
howdy friend, nice to have a representative from the longhorn state
look forward to hearing some rig stories...i imagine it would be a pretty cool environment to dive
wow, that video was incredible...suuuch a beautiful place...thanks a lot for that. I feel like i was in a time machine
i have a tandem yak that I could use to meet you as well Dan.
the swim is do-able , I have done it many times, the truth is though, I am so tired when Iget out that I spend a while resting ang then the daunting swim back in keeps me thinking twice about moving against the current or going furhter out, I typically only swim the first reef from shore but the second is do-able
I estimate it is 3/4 of a mile to a mile to our spots on the 2nd reef...total guess based on how fast i paddle
is heaft your only issue w the Riffe? start w what you don't like or wish was different.
have you looked at the line up at a LDS, might also help you identify features
if so, i hope it is not a close call...dive safely my friend
what time dan...i'd love to go.
when should i be where
I will check this thread at around 7
i have never used a mako gun but their customer support is top shelf and they are okay in my book
awesome...mmmm delicious
genius....KISS at its finest
i think the best defense is a huge flag, that at least lets them know you are there...it ca n attract real yahoos though who feel it is okay to use as a racing marker.
my strategy is simple. I try to locate the source of any sounds (motors) right away...we have a lot of low flying planes where i dive and they always scare me a little...them I assess if that source of the noise is a threat (ie heading toward me) then I decide if I am safer on the surface waving my gun or diving to avoid the threat all together... I generally prefer to wave because I cant see them while i dive and dont want to surface in front of them
it is all biomechanics..palms up or in and you can use the larger head of your biceps AND your lats and to a lesser extent you traps...if the palms are down it is all the smaller head of the biceps and a little bit of your lats...much harder.
the first time I loaded the 23" 20mm band i literally saw stars I had to pull so hard, now I can swing that bitch around almost, almost, with ease
thanks buddy, hows the little angel?
Dan, you have lots of building experience and the equipment, wanna help me modify my tito? maybe next weekend?
it is a lot harder..the best advice i can give is to makea pad for your chest/stomach and learn to load there..the key is to lower the barrel down as you pull allowing you to use your larger back muscles and not just your biceps.
I'll be happy to show you what i mean next time we dive
