Permission to Board

[Don Paul]

Hey guys, I'm a freedive spearfishermen from Cali. I have been Blue Water spearfishing 30 years. I have worked with Terry Mass and Rick Rosenthal on
Blue Water Hunters ( documentary) I have filmed sharks in the South Pacific on
personal projects. I am primary a subsistence spearfisher, but held the IUSA
21 Century Record for Wahoo and Dorado. I build my personal spearguns which I use. Looking forward to coming aboard.
Cheers, Don Paul

Thanks Mate... love your guns, I was actually here since 04 but I'm shy.
Yeah Pete and I have a love for pointy things driven by air or natural latex.
Cheers, Don

Hey Don if you can find the time some day & I am sure I speak for many of us when I ask, could you tell us a shark encounter story?
Have you ever seen a real big one?

Yes, I have been on 26 adventures to the South Pacific and New Caledonia,
Terry Mass, Rick Rossenthal and I worked without cages on the filming of
Blue water Hunters. (no sharks were harmed).
I will post some friendly encounters I have had with Grey reef, Tigers and WHT sharks in the Story section, once the Cali waters get too cold this winter. I have been bumped real hard, lost a fin but so far I love seeing them
in CLEAR WATER.
Cheers, Don
