Lol! Awesome pic!

Gave me an idea. How about cutting a center section from the board and installing some clear lexan. The "window"could be around were your face would be when your layiing down and paddling. If done right it might be pretty cool.

Post it! Went out today with my new pole spear off Oakland Blvd. On my first dive down I was just dropping to take a look since visibility was poor. The second I was able to clearly see, I had the biggest Snapper I have ever seen while freediving off the beach. I DIDNT HAVE THE SPEAR READY!!!! He just smiled at me and swam away

Didn't see anything else was shooting.

Another guy came out and he had shoot a small hog fish but that was all.

Lmao!!! Totally got me. Dreamed about sharks all night.

Seriously!!! Or is this Noobie initiation.

I always go around Oakland prkwy. No lifeguards there.

TY for replying.

How common is it to run into sharks off Ft Lauderdale beach? I'm going to be starting off with a Pole Spear, from what I read Powerheads don't work with those.
Any other alternatives?

I'm going through a few different ideas before I buy a kayak. Main reason I'm thinking of alternatives is that I live on the second floor of a Condo and would have to carry the kayak up a flight of stairs by myself.

I thought about buying the Banks Board. My main hesitation is that I am new to spearfishing and for that matter freediving too. I feel I should start with something that I could get the H*LL out of the water if I get spooked by some imaginary Crack Head Great White or a RABID Barracuda wearing a San Lazaro rope chain.

I came across an old 10' Windsurf board that I can pick up for $50. I thought if rigged properly it would make a stable platform to carry my stuff and me if I need to get out of the water. I've been in the water with sharks before and didn't panick but something about a 300 yard swim back with a shark in the water that has me nervous.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Oh and Id be diving off Ft Lauderdale beach so if I could meet some of you guys that would be awesome. I'll pay for good advise with good beer.

Ok so after further research I decided against the Kaboat. I'd rather stick with a Kayak or something similar.

Hey guys,

I'm totally new to the freediving and spearfishing community, so Hello to all.

I was researching which Kayak I was going to buy and I stumbled onto the Kaboat website. I've watched a ton of youtube videos and they look pretty cool. I have an outboard motor thats sitting in my closet not being used.

Any advise would be great.

thanks

Hey guys,

Been learning about freediving for awhile and finally ready to start spearfishing. I will be diving off Ft Lauderdale beach unless I learn of other beach access places.
