I need a Shaft...

[dugout]

Does anyone make a 115cm x ¼”, (6.35mm), low profile shark fin, Hawaiian Flopper shaft, which is distributed in the U.S.? It’s for an H. Dessault 75cm Viper 30.
Thanks!

I'm afraid that no european manufacturer makes a 6,35mm hawaiian with sharkfin tips instead of cut notches. The thinnest sharkfin shafts are Dessault's "Exocet" shaft, which is 6,5 or 7mm, or the Seatec "Australia" 6,5 or 7mm, AFAIK. But they're both tahitians and I don't think they're distributed in the Usa.
You'd better try with OMER Usa:
Spearfishing and Freediving Equipment - Shafts - 6.75mm Low Profile Sharkfin Shafts - Technosport Inc.

Riffe do, their euro shafts can be had as hawaian or tahitian but they're 6.75mm

The shortest shaft Technosub has listed is 130cm. I'm going to try the thicker Riffe Euro shaft and one of the RA shafts with notches designed for line wishbones.
I wasn't sure if I had missed something but there must be an issue with the sharkfins on the small dia shaft.
Thanks for the help, everyone!

Riffe also makes 1/4" hawaiian shafts, but with the regular shark fins...grind'em to a lower profile.

I forgot the new Omer America 6,5mm: it's the shaft the new Cayman gun comes equipped with, surely available in the 115 cm length, with skarkfin tips. But still a tahitian...

If I'm not mistaken, the 1/4" shaft with the large sharkfin is a square notched shaft to fit the standard Riffe mechanism and won't fit a euro gun.

With a bit of filing, it'll easily fit in your "euro" gun.

Following up, I now have shafts here from Riffe, Spetton (Demka), and RA. They are all in the mid-6mm dia. size range. The RA is notched but the notches are the most cord-wishbone friendly notches I have seen. The Demka has posts like an Odor shaft but they are longer and fold back in a lower profile; I guess I should take some pictures...

I'm going to pool test these in Viper and X-fire 75cm guns but I suspect they all will do just fine. The Viper is modified with an open muzzle.

Riffe produces 1/4" hawaiian shafts.
