Yeah I'm talking about Mark. Crazy story yeah?
Yeah, and I believe every word of it, he is a trusted old friend of mine. Tell him Don Paul says Aloha.
Cheers, Don
P.S. Makoa if the tiger jaw is offensive to your post I'll delete it.
[quote='makoa','http://spearfishing.world/forums/index.php?thread/&postID=79544#post79544'] The recount was in response to a local Kona diver who had a major run-in with a great white in shallow reef waters over Kona side. but I absolutely despise the temperament of bull sharks!
Are you talking about Mark B?
Yeah I'm not fond of big bulls, but big hungry Mao tore tore (tiger) are no joke when motivated to feed.
Cheers, Don
Awesome,I could go for some marlin steaks
Their great smoked.......but it's hard to keep um lit.:pot2:
Cheers, Don
I really enjoyed the story's and enjoy swimming with Grey reef and Silvertips in French Poly. I have killed 5 sharks early in my dive life and still regret it even though I made Shark Jerky from them. I don't plan of sticking any more unless it's 90% necessary. Nice tat capt.

How about a intro mate?
Cheers, Don
If you look at this image you can see the conflicting angle that will start scuffing the inner band when things are in motion. If you slightly cut a deeper groove on the inside back roller and on the outside of the front you may gain some clearance. A tapered grove in the wood of the back band may help as well . but it is hard for me to see all the angles/clearances.
Cheers, Don
Have you thought of different angles between the two rollers with taper to achieve a more ideal band alignment? I see some power loss to friction @ the band/ roller plate.
Cheers, Don
RIP Don Pinder, may your seas always be clear and calm.
Second image, Don is on the left.

Here is a 6' 5/16'' 17/4 ph shaft with wings and notches I did in 81. I engrave the year and gram wt of all my shafts. I keep this one to remind me not to shoot large grouper too close to their small cave.;) with out a brain shot.
Cheers, Don
Here are a couple of mine from 1983.
Twin fin 9/32, slight notch to lower wishbone.
Single fin 1/4'' with 5/16'' ScubaPro mech tail grafted and tig welded.
Cheers, Don
I would lose the nuts at the roller plate, as even a projection of 1/8'' can snag a shooting line uncoiling.
If it snags a duple loop, the mono will elongate and act as a bungie, bringing the shaft back at your face.
If your really lucky the line will break first.You could use a threaded axle and buttons head screws.
Nice effort mate, just needs a little tweaking to be safe. You might get away with 10 test shots in a row
before the big OShite.
Cheers, Don
Here is the 1/4 bottom shaft of Double Trouble, 1 1/2 from the end of the shaft. I too believe in duration of thrust.:yaydance: Run your rubbers tight and your shaft long.
Cheers, Don
I saw this and thought you might be interested.

I got in touch with the owner Rick, what a cool guy. He's going to measure them and get back to me.
Thanks again Hookinfish, beers on me the next time.

Someone walked into the Dojo with a big wad of shite on their zori, and it's on the mat while we sit around and poke it with a stick.
