The unashamed movement in freediving takes on momentum! In some countries they don't even let you in the pool with a swimming suit on. Aaland announced World Championship in Unashamed Freediving in 2010. More details in Aaland's edition of the Playgirl :

I remember in Sweden's at the Nordic Deep competition Henning and Jesper did a very impressive DNF, wearing nothing but euh ... nothing. It was so impressive I don't know who won either the jury's price or the public's price. I'm sorry ladies I didn't have a camera at hand.

Love, Courage and Water,

The style was classical, belly down. But the preparation of the final dynamic heat, as Jesper and Henning were the two leading divers, was very special. Standing in full monofin gear they started gradually to put off things as the countdown went. It sure got the ladies attention, especially when as they surprisingly took of their trunks about 10s before Official Top. On of them did 50m, and the other just stopped a short distance earlier.

Yes - that swim was fantastic. It was the mens DYN Final. Henning, Jesper and Johan (SWE). I was in the car (going to the competition) when they decided to that joke... So I was ready with my UW cam when it happened.

It could have been a trick to distract poor Johan from bettering his DYN results... But the thing is that Henning and Jesper (total in front in the competition) was just tired of Max performances...

So the video exist... and its very funny... They didnt even wear weights, so they were kicking a lot rofl
And they had a theory that the speed of their swimming would make them streamline - that werent quite what happenend... rofl

Thats true - he ended up missing the 2nd place because of pulling...

And the Unashamed athletes had their dive DSQ due to surface protocol... :)
