Marwan: "Honey, we're so bored to be landlocked here in central Virginia, aren't we? Why don't we jump in the car and head to Virginia beach for the weeend? Everything will feel better after a romantic promenade hand in hand by the sea, a candle light dinner in some chic seafood restaurant..."
Wifey: "Great idea, darling, a weekend at the seaside won't do any harm...!
..............Couple drives 250 miles.........
Marwan: "so here we are honey. Look: the ocean!"
Wifey: "that's beautiful, darling!"
Marwan: "Honey, did I ever tell you about Mark? Mark Laboccetta? He's a friend of mine and he lives right here in Virginia Beach. Would you mind if we go to meet him first?"
Wifey: "Well, if it's a brief visit to an old friend, then why not?"
.
...Couple drives down to Mark Laboccetta's Omer Usa headquarters in Virginia Beach...
Marwan: "Hey Mark, how's it going man?"
Mark: "Cor blimey, Marwan, this is surprise! Madam, nice to meet you...Please, come in, I'll show you the warehouse...."

ho ho ho, come to my italian arms!!!
The Abellan Robalo is a great choice, but it is not made in Spain. It's made in Italy by a very skilled italian "armaiolo" (gun craft artisan) under Abellan's design.

Go get it, we need our exports to hold on with the global crisis! :blackeye

Hello Hello Hello,
First, best wishes for your Birthday....hope you have a good one:martial
Second, we all miss you down here, even the fish started to relax too much since you've been gone.
In 2 weeks or less, I'm about to release the first NileDivers wooden speargun and have every intention of sending you a 100 cm canon, accurate with almost ZERO recoil.
(This was accomplished with a lot of help from my friend Steve Veros at Poseiddonsub.)
A small present to a Great friend on his Birthday.:friday
Here is a sneak preview.
Cheers,
Ihab

AWESOME! you are THE MAN!
i really misss you guys too, its great that you are making your own speaguns.. those fish wont be relaxing now they never really do when youre in the water do you need a distributor in the USA Spago, I know abellan is now being made in italy, but its designed and tested by victor abellan in spain (the former owner) right

Hondas are great but here in U.S. Yamaha rules the Oceans !

One advice I don't mix my gear, the Brazilian gear stays in Brazil, the Alaska gear stays in Alaska, I did that once and regreted , Continental damage my Hybrid fins !

Yes those, they damage the last inch of one of the blades, I think it was the lugage belt, I've epoxy it, never again, next time I will make sure to wrap them on card boad.
ok rafael..stop spreading the negative energy with the gear breaking stories just kidding man good advice..also you could always use the hard cases, they are especially designed for airplane travel...
now back on topic...other ideas folks... its going down next week (notice the american slang i developed over the last month )

its going down next week (notice the american slang i developed over the last month )Stragelove. I notice you know your stuff and you go to Brazil too. I am planning to travel to RJ and Buzios in December and wife permitting I was planning to do some spearfishing. I do most of my stuff in the N Spanish and French atlantics. Seabass, sargus and similarly small targets, in less than 10 mts. I was thinking on bringing my Beuchat 100 with one sling. Is that enough or should I bring a wooden gun? What wetsuit would you recommend? (3.5 or 5 mm?)
Many thanks for your insight
