]]> 3349 Spearfactor #076: Manuel Maendel, Search & Recovery https://www.spearfactor.com In this episode, I speak with Manuel Maendel from the HEART Search and Recovery nonprofit organization. Manny shares with us both his personal story and the story of HEART. This episode differs from other Spearfactor episodes because it is less focused on spearfishing and more focused on finding lost items and people underwater. We discuss the equipment that he uses from divers to robots, and the techniques to search in the most difficult underwater environments. The reason why I decided to share this episode was because I thought that the knowledge shared about sonar and other equipment could potentially help others in the future if they ever found themselves looking for a piece of equipment or even a dive buddy. Tip: Always get the best last know position you can get so there is a good starting point.

]]> 8012 Spearfactor #062: Jon Stenstrom, Turning a Passion into a Business In this episode, we have Jon Stenstrom, a returning guest on the podcast, to talk a little bit about how he got started being an entrepreneur, and turning his passion into a business. He talks about his experiences, trying to grow his brand @castandspear in the Spearfishing/fishing industry, and some of the things he encountered and lessons he learned. We also discussed the culture of spear fishing in Southern California, and how it differs from the rest of the planet. Specifically, we talk about the unspoken rules within our own community of Southern California such as spot burning and the dos and don’ts to social media posts. This was a long episode but I hope you will find it interesting and insightful.

]]> 10728 Spearfactor #061: Brett Leable, The World of Freshwater Spearfishing This episode of Spearfactor is with Brett Leable. Brett is heavily involved in the world of competitive freshwater Spearfishing, and recently finished participating as a boat driver for the freshwater world competition at Lake Powell. Brett shares with us his journey from Wisconsin where he cut his teeth, spearfishing the great lakes to where he’s at today. Additionally, we discuss an incident that he was involved in two years ago where a diver was propped and killed. Brett shares in great detail the tragic events of that day. This event was extremely eerie especially because I was out the same day and I heard the call over the radio. I think the biggest take away from our conversation was that everyone plays a role in safety especially out on the water.

I'm excited to introduce our special guest for episode 58, Nicole Burko, a world-record holder, member of the USA women's spearfishing team, and a talented artist.

I'm excited to introduce our special guest for episode 58, Nicole Burko, a world-record holder, member of the USA women's spearfishing team, and a talented artist. Nicole was born in Canada and moved to Florida for college, where she pursued her passion for art and discovered her love for spearfishing. Her studies in art have influenced her underwater experiences and her spearfishing experiences has influenced her art as well.  As a world record holder in spearfishing and a member of the USA women's spearfishing team, Nicole knows what it takes to compete at the highest level of the sport. She has faced tough competition and challenging conditions, but her experiences with commercial spearfishing I’ve helped her develop some very efficient techniques for competition. In this episode, we'll dive deep into Nicole's journey as a competitive spearfisher, how she balances her passion for art and spearfishing, the training and preparation required to be a member of the USA team, and much more.

Matthew has been diving exclusively on Rhode Island's reefs for years. He is an engineer by trade and he uses that background to push him into perfecting his craft. One of question I asked him was, "How are your guns different than other spearguns?" He explains that the cuttlefish shape is a key component to designing a efficient hydrodynamic speargun. We discuss this further as well as many other items.

We also discussed his company, Tag spearguns, that makes all carbon travel guns and what makes his guns unique. Additionally, We talk about his time spent in the Philippines as a freediving instructor teaching people how to dive and the challenges that goes along with that.

]]> 4692 Spearfactor #051: Tracy Wittmeier World Record Bluefin Tuna https://www.spearfactor.com In this episode, I speak with San Diego diver, Tracy Wittmeier. Tracy is as passionate about diving as you could be. She also has the pending Women's World Record for Bluefin tuna, landing a 196 pound beast. Tracy and her dive partner Matt, a local charter boat captain, spend their time diving in San Diego and down in Baja shooting grouper. They are quite the spearfishing duo. Besides spending time in the water, Tracy is also an officer in the Navy where she was a pilot before switching over to physical therapy. I feel that Tracy is a great role model for women of all ages both in and out of the water.  Get in touch with Tracy @tracywittmeier This podcast is a part of the Waypoint TV Podcast Network. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

She also has the pending Women's World Record for Bluefin tuna, landing a 196 pound beast. Tracy and her dive partner Matt, a local charter boat captain, spend their time diving in San Diego and down in Baja shooting grouper. They are quite the spearfishing duo. Besides spending time in the water, Tracy is also an officer in the Navy where she was a pilot before switching over to physical therapy. I feel that Tracy is a great role model for women of all ages both in and out of the water.  Get in touch with Tracy @tracywittmeier This podcast is a part of the Waypoint TV Podcast Network. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

]]> 4244 Spearfactor #035: Philip Maechler Inventor of Sens07vest Recovery Device https://www.spearfactor.com/spearfishing-podcast In this episode I speak with Swiss inventor Philip Maechler from Provitatec. We discussed the invention of the Sens07vest recovery device design to rescue blackout divers. The Sens07vest is a fully automatic and electronic emergency floating device designed to get freedivers and spearfishers back to the surface in case the diver is too long or too deep underwater - or if a shallow water blackout is detected. The Sens07vest turns an unconscious person on his back to keep his airways clear. Philip goes over his inspiration for the product and the developmental process from the first prototype to what it is now. He also covers how the vest functions, and the similarities and differences between previous models of this device. Philip also gave Spearfactor listeners a 10% discount on the vest itself which was already almost half of the freediving Recovery vest developed by legendary diver Terry Maas.  Goto: www.provitatec.com Put in promo code: SPEARFACTOR10 for the 10% discount.

]]> 4687 Spearfactor #032: The Adventures of Phonebooth https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/phoneboothfinalaudio_-_7521_8.21_PM.mp3 I can't say enough about this man. He's like a character in a movie, more specifically a character that we want to be like. Phonebooth and I met through some mutual friends from Guam. I didn't know much about him including his real name, but I soon realized that none of that really mattered. He's the guy that yells "WHAT'S UP!!!!" at the top of the boat ramp at 5:00 in the morning. You know, the attitude that you wish everyone had before heading offshore including yourself. Phonebooth is a perfect example of Island style. Full of love and very light hearted, he loves to travel light and hunt big. He often rolls solo but quickly makes friends as he dials in new places. I have really enjoyed our adventures together and hearing about some of his solo adventures chasing down big fish in Baja. I hope to enjoy this episode as much as I did making it!

The Resort is home of the Bluewater World Cup of Spearfishing. Tim lives down in Baja with his family full time, diving, fishing, and exploring the area. He and Brock are a wealth of knowledge for the area both above and below the sea surface. Tim shares with me how the World Cup is setup and what to expect with arriving for the first time to the resort. Personally, I am looking forward to traveling down there and experiencing the resort with my family.

However, there are ways to mitigate the risk of spearfishing in these conditions while at the same time making the experience more productive, and enjoyable. Rule #1: The first rule to spearfishing in these conditions where 5’ or 1.5m is considered “good” is to streamline your gear. Rule #2: Have a good dive buddy. Rule #3: Communication is key. Tell your buddy what you are intending to do and how long you plan on being down. A good example of this would be telling your buddy that you plan to dive down the anchor line, then kick straight out about ten feet. The entire dive should take about 1:30 tops. Another tip is that both divers should keep their spearguns point away from any potential divers resurfacing. The buddy who is spotting keep your gun either straight out or straight up so the diver returning to the surface does not swim up straight into the speargun’s shaft. Likewise, with the diver returning to the surface needs to keep their speargun pointed down towards the bottom so they do not poke their buddy upon surfacing. Last, we cover the techniques that I use while hunting. On Ted’s websites, he offers several freediving courses covering everything from equalization to a 28-day Freediving Transformation. There’s even a few of these course for free. CHECK OUT HIS WEBSITES AND SIGN UP FOR A FREE ONLINE CLASS!!!!!

]]> 4633 no Spearfactor #016: Allen Yangco & Brian Fern from Longfins Spearfishing https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/Longsfins_The_FINAL.mp3 In this episode, I speak with Brian Fern and Allen Yangco from Longfins Spearfishing. These two gentlemen truly define what the term giving back to the community means. Longfins originally started out as a online diving store that Allen started, but it failed. This failure didn’t discourage Allen from continuing on with the Longfins brand. He felt that the failure was a blessing in disguised. After seeing many of the divers in their area not diving safely as well as several diving related deaths including 4 of Allen’s friends, he and his friend, Brian Fern, decided to continue with Longfins by holding spearfishing seminars for the youth of Kauai. The goal was to share their over 50 years of knowledge and experience with the kids of Kauai to teach them how to ethically hunt and safely dive for fish. The seminar is free and everyone is encouraged to attend.  During the show, the boys share numerous stories of bad and good dive buddies, sharks, recovering fish from caves, and ethnical fish hunting. Allen shares a story about when he was diving near a bay with monk seals when a huge tiger shark came at him. Allen did not see the shark but his buddy quickly intercepted it and saved Allen from an attack.

In this episode, I speak with Brian Fern and Allen Yangco from Longfins Spearfishing. These two gentlemen truly define what the term giving back to the community means. Longfins originally started out as a online diving store that Allen started, but it failed. This failure didn’t discourage Allen from continuing on with the Longfins brand. He felt that the failure was a blessing in disguised. After seeing many of the divers in their area not diving safely as well as several diving related deaths including 4 of Allen’s friends, he and his friend, Brian Fern, decided to continue with Longfins by holding spearfishing seminars for the youth of Kauai. The goal was to share their over 50 years of knowledge and experience with the kids of Kauai to teach them how to ethically hunt and safely dive for fish. The seminar is free and everyone is encouraged to attend.  During the show, the boys share numerous stories of bad and good dive buddies, sharks, recovering fish from caves, and ethnical fish hunting. Allen shares a story about when he was diving near a bay with monk seals when a huge tiger shark came at him. Allen did not see the shark but his buddy quickly intercepted it and saved Allen from an attack. Additionally, Brian shares a story about when the current picked up so bad on the reef that he and Allen had to shoot their shafts into the reef in order to avoid getting swept out to sea.  This episode is full of tips to make you a better and safer diver.

]]> 6104 no Spearfactor #015: Veteran Dive Boat Skipper Dan Walsh https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/Dan_Walsh_Final.mp3 In this episode, I speak with veteran diver and dive boat Skipper Dan Walsh. Since the 1970s, Captain Dan has operated dive boats such as the Bottom Scratcher, and Spirit of Adventure for spearfishing’s elite pioneers. He was there filming when Terry Maas shot his record bluefin tuna at Guadalupe Island, which is one of the most popular moments in California’s spearfishing history. He’s explored the Baja peninsula in its’ entirety a few times over and has dove remote stretches of the coast that I have dreamed about diving for years. But besides Baja, Captain Dan has traveled the world filming, freediving, scuba diving, and hunting places like Dangerous Reef, Australia and tiny islands in Micronesia. His presence at most of these places was requested in order to film for show like Shark Week on the Discovery channel and various other nature shows.  One of the things that caught me off guard about Captain Walsh was how truly humble he was during the podcast. With almost 50 years of experience on and around dive boats, you would think that he would be more than justified to have a hint of an ego. Not the case, which is probably why he has been able to learn and share so much information with us.

]]> 5067 no Spearfactor #014: Paul Rodriguez from Hot Rod Spearguns https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/paulRodFinal1.mp3 In this episode, I speak with Paul Rodriguez from Hot Rod Spearguns. While Paul is a sponsor for the show, he truly is one hell of a spearfisherman and speargun builder. During the show, we spend a lot of time talking about the right speargun for the right conditions, and his new hybrid travel speargun. I am really excited to share Paul’s travel speargun with you all because I believe it will change the spearfishing community as a whole. The speargun itself breaks down smaller than a set of dive fins, making traveling easier than ever with your equipment. Currently, available in 120-130cm lengths. The shaft is a Mori shaft which breakdown as well. I have personally tested this speargun in Baja, and at home here in Southern California. I’ve even done some pool testing with it myself. The motivation of this travel gun comes from all of Paul’s travels where the ability to pack light was a necessity. Additionally, we discuss how important it is to travel in order to become a better all round diver and hunter. Lastly, Paul and I discuss hunting big Dogtooth Tuna over 100 pounds. He shares some of his tips, and insane stories about determined fish ripping themselves in half in order to escape from his shaft.  This episode was fun to make and I hope you guys will enjoy it as well!

]]> 4703 no Spearfactor #013: Carlos Suarez Spearfishing Game Developer & Cuban Diver https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/CarlosFinal.mp3 In this episode I speak with Carlos Suarez. He is the creator of the Freedive Hunter Spearfishing game. He is also originally from Cuba where he learned to spearfish. We discuss his early days of diving in Cuba as well as the equipment and techniques they used there. Some of these techniques he share I have never heard of before such as tying a rope to a diver then pulling them up once they reached half way from ascending on dives over 100’ in order to save oxygen. Most importantly, Carlos shares with me his main reason for creating spearfishing video games which is due to his inability to dive now due to a medical condition. His passion and love for fish, especially Trigger fish, is all reflected in the game. Every aspect of the game has special meaning behind it and you can hear it in his voice with he speaks with me. It was great to speak with Carlos and I am really excited to share his story with you!

Some of these techniques he share I have never heard of before such as tying a rope to a diver then pulling them up once they reached half way from ascending on dives over 100’ in order to save oxygen. Most importantly, Carlos shares with me his main reason for creating spearfishing video games which is due to his inability to dive now due to a medical condition. His passion and love for fish, especially Trigger fish, is all reflected in the game. Every aspect of the game has special meaning behind it and you can hear it in his voice with he speaks with me. It was great to speak with Carlos and I am really excited to share his story with you!

Mark is a world class spearfisherman, and one of the top big wave surfers in the world. He is a true waterman. If you don’t believe me just google it! During the podcast, we discuss the surf and dive industries, conservation, why we spearfish, diving at Guadalupe Island with white sharks, and much more.  Mark is originally from the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. On the North Shore is where his dad first introduced him to the ocean at a young age. His love for the ocean grew very organically as his life progressed as well as his abilities in the water. Surfing in the winter, and diving during the summer was his usually routine and it did not take long before Mark was well known for his abilities and confidence in the water. At the age of 17, he turned pro at surfing which would send him traveling, surfing, diving, and make connections with watermen throughout the world. His friends and traveling throughout the world would help his knowledge of the ocean grow, and along with that growth so would his love for the ocean and protecting it for the future. Mark is very involved in his local community where he supports the Na Kama Kai, Hawaii Jr. Lifeguards, and Sustainable Coastlines organizations to help better Hawaii as a whole.  Nonprofit organizations that Mark supports. https://nakamakai.org https://oahujrlifeguards.surfsignup.com   https://sustainablecoastlineshawaii.org  Projects Currently Working On: Mark now has his own company https://www.healeywaterops.com where he links clients up with unique experiences centered around the ocean activities throughout the world. In addition to this company, Mark also starting a YouTube channel called Strike Missions with Mark Healey coming out very soon. The main thing that I feel is really special about Mark is that he centers his life around living a sustainably.

Brad and I discuss why we think the OC Spearos has such a huge following in the spearfishing community. Their culture of welcoming divers of all experience levels has fostered a climate perfect for learning and growing your knowledge and skill within the sport of spearfishing. He also shares his thoughts on conservation, both with hunting on land and spearfishing in the ocean. I asked him about the goals of the spearfishing club, and how they plan to achieve those goals. One of the goals including using the OC Spearos as a major lobbing group for developing effective conversation efforts in the state of California. Checkout what's going on with the club right here. http://www.ocspearos.org On top of being a major influence in spearfishing right here in Southern California, he also started the company Vizi bags, which he turned over to his 14 year old daughter to run. What a cool dad! Vizi Bags are the first and only colored food saving bags. The colored bags make it easy to separate different types of meats and fish, as well as different cuts of meat and fish.

]]> 6310 no Spearfactor #005: Nick Garcia from NitroGunCo Spearguns https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/NitroguncoAudio.mp3 In this episode of Spearfactor, I meet with Nick Garcia, the owner of Nitro Gun Co, at his workshop in Carlsbad, California. We began just like we always do, discussing Nick’s background going from his beginning days as a young surfer, to professional MMA fighter, all the way to becoming an avid diver and speargun manufacture. Like most of us, Nick’s journey has many different turns and by taking those different turns Nick has learned a great deal about his mind and body along the way. Nick’s first experience in the ocean was from his parents who both loved surfing. He and his brother, Gabe Garcia, spent most their time surfing, but when the waves were flat, and the water was warm they would turn to spearfishing to past the time. This routine lasted through high school until Nick decided to try his hand at MMA. Yes, Mix Martial Arts. Mr. “Nitro” himself had quite the career fighting and earning money in major organizations such as Bellitor. We discuss how learning about breathing for spearfishing actually carried over and helped him while he was fighting. Nick said that the book Breathology really changed his whole approach to looking at breathing while training both in and out of the gym. As his career came to an end due to injuries, he quickly redirected his passion to woodworking. With woodworking and spearfishing as two of his hobbies, making spearguns for himself and friends was inevitable. The more spearguns he made, the more passionate he began to feel about building them. He eventually teamed up with his friend and Guardian Charters owner, Evan Wagley, to carry Nitro Gun Co spearguns on his charter boats in order to consistently test them out on all types of fish including large bluefin tuna. This relationship allowed Nick to fine tune his spearguns for a large variety of fish. Over the years, some on the biggest bluefin, 300 plus pounds, in California have been landed using Nitro spearguns while on a Guardian Charter trip. Nick and Evan are some of the most experienced spearos targeting bluefin tuna. The Bomber series spearguns were developed from chasing down bluefin tuna, and Nick and I talk about techniques and tactics for getting close, shooting and landing them. In order to consistently do this, you need to have gear that’s up to the challenge. We go over recommended gear setups for landing these larger fish. First, get a tuna cannon from Nitro Gun Co. Seriously, if you are targeting large bluefin get either a bomber series or a 65” double roller from Nick. Second, get the best dyneema line and bungee on the market, Dark Waters Dive Co bungee. No bullshit! Then get a big float 3 atmosphere float or two because you never know what could swim in front of you. Nick prefers the JBL floats to others. Heavy proven equipment is a must when targeting a triple digit fish. Do not bring a knife to a gun fight! The last topic on the show is about spearfishing trips. We discuss diving in Belize, Baja, Mainland Mexico and Hawaii. We talk about lessons learned from diving in these different places and some of the people we have met along the way. In Kauai, we meet our good friend Allen Yangco from Longfins Freediving Shop. Allen is one of the most welcoming guys out there.

In this episode of Spearfactor, I meet with Nick Garcia, the owner of Nitro Gun Co, at his workshop in Carlsbad, California. We began just like we always do, discussing Nick’s background going from his beginning days as a young surfer, to professional MMA fighter, all the way to becoming an avid diver and speargun manufacture. Like most of us, Nick’s journey has many different turns and by taking those different turns Nick has learned a great deal about his mind and body along the way. Nick’s first experience in the ocean was from his parents who both loved surfing. He and his brother, Gabe Garcia, spent most their time surfing, but when the waves were flat, and the water was warm they would turn to spearfishing to past the time. This routine lasted through high school until Nick decided to try his hand at MMA. Yes, Mix Martial Arts. Mr. “Nitro” himself had quite the career fighting and earning money in major organizations such as Bellitor. We discuss how learning about breathing for spearfishing actually carried over and helped him while he was fighting. Nick said that the book Breathology really changed his whole approach to looking at breathing while training both in and out of the gym. As his career came to an end due to injuries, he quickly redirected his passion to woodworking.

He and his brother-in-law have invented the side slip system, a spearfishing tip that replaces the standard flopper giving you the benefits of a slip tip without the issues involved. I spoke to him about the process of starting a company and how the Kimera Sideslip system evolved into what it is currently today. We also discuss the future of the Kimera Sideslip system and where it is headed. Robert shares with me the plans for a Bluewater edition where everything within the system is "beefed up" for maximum strength. As we continue through the podcasts we talk about some modifications and challenges they came across in order to turn the great idea into a tangible product. Robert and I discuss some pros and cons to modern spearfishing equipment, and how the Kimera Sideslip helps to eliminate some of those issues. Checkout the Kimera Sideslip System at https://www.kimeraspearfishing.com The podcast begins discussing the recent spearfishing death of Ryan Huff. Ryan died this month while lobster diving. It is believed that he got entangled in his equipment while diving. We talk about some lessons learned over the years in hopes of preventing this from happening again. Tips to Prevent Tangling or Snags 1. Strap your knife to the inside of your calf, not the outside. 2. If possible minimize the amount of stuff you are carrying. 3. If your dive knife is on your belt, put it on the opposite side that your floatline trails. Did you enjoy this? If so, please share this podcast with your friends! I hope that you guys can relate to the show and learn that we are more similar than different in so many ways. I hope we all can learn to enjoy the ocean and then, protect it.

]]> 2509 no Spearfactor #003: Legendary Watermen Colin Smith https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/spearfactor/Colin_Audio.mp3 In this episode of Spearfactor, I sit down with legendary waterman and family man, Colin Smith. Colin is a former professional surfer from San Diego, California with deep family roots in the ocean. He began spearfishing at age 22 when a knee injury sidelined his surfing career. He quickly turned a negative into a positive, and began developing his diving skills until he both a world class diver and surfer. I was fortunate enough to sit down with Colin, and discuss his experiences both in and out of the water. We discuss everything from his early days of professional surfing and how he got started spearfishing to having a mindset to give you an edge in life through he and his wife, Kerry, Awakening Trainings. Checkout the training at https://theawakeningtrainings.com The podcast begins discussing the early years in 1990s, we he was just getting into spearfishing. We talk about diving throughout the West Coast including Baja and Southern California as well as spearfishing equipment and guns that we prefer. We also talk about why we spearfish and how the industry has changed over the years as well as the environment. During this time, we both have seen changes in our local spots, so we discuss possible causes and solutions to the problems. Colin shares some crazy stories from surfing and diving in Western Australia where he encounters lively wildlife including large Tiger sharks. I asked him what was his thought process while he was jumping in on bait balls and dropping in on dry reefs in remote parts of Australia. This led us to discussing the power of the right mindset when doing difficult things. Not having the right mindset can cause you to hesitant in difficult situations which can lead to even worse situations. Colin and Kerry, now specialize in providing specific training called Awakening Trainings, focused on unlocking your true potential making you more productive, confident and happy in all aspects of your life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j2nQjdoRiE&t=562s Follow Spearfactor: Instagram @the_spearfactor Facebook Spearfactor Group, Youtube and Reddit.
