2. It does not automatically record surface interval. That doesn't matter very much to me, but it might to some of you.
Yep, specially for spearfishing when you're diving a bit deeper...

Welcome.

how many more spearfishing vids are ganna have the same dodododododdodododododod music?? lmao don't get me wrong the song pumps me up but ..come on....

(not for a spearing video :))
thanksEdit: found it: BertycoX - The Signal

Great photos!
thanks for the info on the system!
Can't wait to get my board... -
there is at least three configurations of the. banks board I'm sure its just molded into that configuration
From what I know, there's just one board. Different parts can be attached to the inserts (as this winder is).
John just posted the new model pics 2 hours ago on Facebook... -
I think its just an adjustable floatline when you determine what depth your diving at you let out the appropriate ammount of line?
I didn't explained myself well... I see how it works and it's function. I'm curious how it's made... -
Its really easy. Buy a cheap slick bottom bodyboard and make sure that it is closed cell foam throughout (not Styrofoam filled). Buy a mesh game bag that is just smaller than the board and punch holes through the board from the bottom and zip tie one side of the bag down to the holes. Flip the leash plug upside down and attach a tuna clip to the bottom.
It should last 3 years of serious abuse.
Then save up for a BanksBoard!
Sorry to hijack this with a question but:
on hover the banksboard link you get this image:
Does anyone has more info on that system (I mean the spooling)?

You can file down a little bit to create a flat surface on an angle. This way you can maybe drill the hole on an angle rather than bend the pin afterwards. Make the tolerance really small, to the point you can't insert the pin, then heat the shaft and bang the pin in. It will never come out by itself, no welding necessary for one or two 16mm bands.
Great!
Thanks -
Welding does weaken the area. But I think there's never too much stress on that area of the shaft so it should be ok. If the fin is for loading only adding a pin is easier.
Interesting how things change with time. SA shafts with sherkfin tabs for US mechs are now available.
Any tips on how to add the pin? Dust drill a hole and add a heated pin?
thanks -
Hi Dan,
I know that this thread is old (very old) but i was think of adding a sharkfin to the rear of a shaft (stainless stell).
Does welding the fin changes the shaft properties in that spot? If it does, it doesn't matter much, right?
Any tips on how to weld it?
thanks -
Welcome Fernando, you live in the land of huge Bluefin, a world racord came from there taken with a Riffe
Island gun a few years ago.Cheers, Don Paul
Hi all and thanks for the welcome.
Yeah, Paulo Gaspar lands some nice fish. A few years ago he also got a marlin that fell 10 Kg short of WR.Safe dives

Hey all,
Just registered today but have been reading around some of the great stuff that you have here in the forum.
I've been diving for 18 years here in the Azores and am always trying to improve...
Hope to learn and share the little that I know with you.
Safe dives!
Fernando
