Hot Handle sir. Did you epoxy it on? If I could shape wood all day I would. Very rewarding for me.

I cannot get enough of these

Welcome. Enjoy this Motley crew;) Share some Oregon stories please. I had some fun kayak fishing in 8' seas at Sunset Bay south of Coos. Love Oregon. Great campgrounds.

JD is a one pony show.For what it is worth, he designed his Moana fins flex pattern and carbon weave with the pathos footpocket in mind. Almost all of the carbon blades I have seen broken from lack of support have been snapped where the 90 degree axis on the weave is. This is an inherent weak spot on most if not all fiberglass/carbon fins on the market and JD addressed this issue when he created the blades. .
That sounds like some solid product development. The American dream lives!!!!!
I have only been in Omer stingray and Picasso foot pockets. Omer to loose. Picasso to narrow in the toes. What do you guys think are best in general for a size 13 foot..... And blades... oh boy I am lost. I don't have the coin or time to test a dozen different kinds. I keep hearing "stiffer is better" "softer is better". so which is it. I am 225 lbs and tire quickly, but I have strong large quads and can kick hard if I need to. Whats my Dream fin setup?

I do until my current stock of Pathos foot pockets runs out, but without the 2 year warranty. Some divers still buy them because of how light the fins turn out.
So, were they your favorite foot pocket until you broken your fins in them? Are are they more suited for fiberglass fins? or are they just horrible and should be avoided at all costs?

That is a good review. Thanks for sharing, making me want to get a pair.... they sound real cool, web site?

Cheers, Don
That's true love right there. You can hardly blame me. Congrats

I would love to have a drink with Don.
Mybe some day. I'll buy it!
I enjoyed a drink and a discussion with Don one night. He leaves you with a good feeling. He is the real deal himself. No bullshit, No plumped up fish stories, No attitude, No arrogance. A real man who shares his wealth of knowledge without reservation. You would have trouble finding a topic that he does not have a high level of knowledge of. I was moved by his generosity and trust. The one and only Don Paul.
Those of you who got to hear him speak in San Diego at the "Legends of Spearfishing" in 2011 at J and J know what a good story teller he is also. A great memory I have.

I hate wearing a hood. Makes me feel weird. Sadly I am rarely in water warm enough to go hood less. I think I dive "better" without a hood.

Man..... How do you go back to land after that experience? I am a bit of an adrenaline junky myself, but only where I am in control. I don't think I could do it. It would be to intense. Just like I could not get in the ring with Rampage Jackson even if he told me he would not kick me in the head.
It makes me really curious as to what the shark thinks of this all. Seeing that cage and the divers and cameras, what's the shark really experiencing? Do they enjoy it? Do they seek it out? Is it just really good timing that they are not hungry?

You have been busy. Your work ethic is inspiring. Thanks again for sharing with this community, lots to learn from glancing through this thread.

Congrats boys. A thanksgiving to remember.

Will they prefrom well in sea water? The price is interesting and there are some cool patterns.
In all seriousness I was considering trying one next time I go to warm water. With the face cutout of course.

I was looking for some new camo patterns and found these awesome Lycra suits. .Enjoy

I love this build! Yeah for Hand rails off a Yacht!

With an open track gun, wouldn't some down force on the shaft be desirable? To keep it being guided by the track?
Band elevators make perfect sense in description, but I have never tied one. if the band slot is as high to the shaft as possible.... isn't that good enough? I have been positioning the top of the band slot at a 1/4" below the bottom of the track and the results with 3 bands on a 55"-57" gun are very accurate.
Perhaps I need a bigger gun with more rubber to see the problem. -
Kind of hard to argue against a high viz yellow. But you should stock a few colors..... these choices are extremely subjective.

The spearfishing business seems to be an ugly place. Everybody hates everybody else for doing crap they do themselves. This isn't Coke and Pepsi, Ford and Chevy. The market is much to small and margins much to low to give a crap about all this finger pointing and industry "exposure". My goodness, all this worry to shoot a few fish?

Just found this excellent video of the event: Ryan Moore - Charlie Sturgill Memorial Pole Spear Meet, October 21st, 2012 - YouTube
