Re: MAKO Spearguns: What's new?

Oh, I guess Dano linked the wrong fins above. The correct link for the "PURE CARBON" ones is here http://www.makospearguns.com/PURE-Ca...ns-p/lfpcf.htm

So, it's 290 CF vs 205 FG

Still....

Re: MAKO Spearguns: What's new?

CF "wear" at a much slower rate than FG but they will both be completely trashed from rocks and reef long before that happens. CF will chip, scratch, break if you are pushing off the bottom, entering the water wrong, etc. The benefit is for freediving due to light weight and more efficient kick strokes. If you do a lot of freediving then it may be worth considering but if not then no way.

Re: MAKO Spearguns: What's new?

I Can't comment on any of Mako's fin in particular, but "wear" on either should be fairly relative. It's all in how you care for them. Babied and taken care of properly, either should last you for years and years. I have a set of carbons and a set of fiberglass that have been taking beatings for almost the last 8 years, and show not much more than surface scratches. But, I've also seen carbons break at the bend and fiberglass crack at the tips. As long as you're not leaving your carbons out in the sun or using either to push off the bottom more than necessary, both should give you years of good use.

Re: MAKO Spearguns: What's new?

Update with the Womens Blue Yamamoto Camo Suit. This one comes in 3 mm only. If a thicker suit is needed, check out the reef camo

http://www.makospearguns.com/Womens-...l-p/m2yrcw.htm

We've had quite a few inquiries about women’s suits over the last few years, so I made a significant commitment and will now stock 3, 5 and 7 mm suits. Right now I only have photos of the Reef Camo design, but we are shooting a model with the 3 mm blue camo suits tonight. I hope to have them on the site within a day or so.

I should emphasize that these suits have been cut specifically for women, but I’ve used the same high quality construction, open cell interior and quality Yamamoto 39 material we use in our men’s suits. These suits use the mega-stretch material on the outside which provides 30% more stretch than anything else available. The gals who have tried these suits for us have found them super comfortable.

Just in time for Christmas!!













Next I want to introduce our new mask: The El Bajo Freedive Mask

This is an extremely low volume freedive mask which provides excellent visibility and comfort (not to mention, you just look like a baadd-assss when wearing it).



Our testers tell us the El Bajo freediving mask is COMFORTABLE because the mask provides plenty of clearance at the bridge of the nose, an area that’s caused pressure points with other masks.

We offer a NO RISK Guarantee on this mask. It fits and YOU find it comfortable or I will issue a refund AND pay for return shipping.

We also have added a PURE CARBON Blade to our fin selection!




MAKO Spearguns has proudly teamed up with Leader Fins to offer these outstanding freedive PURE Carbon Fiber Fins with MAKO Competition Foot Pockets.

Because we make our own foot pockets and because we sell direct to you the diver, nobody can match our pricing and the quality of our foot pockets is extremely well known throughout the diving community. We are also offering the blades by themselves, if you would like to upgrade your existing fins.

Check it out:

Re: MAKO Spearguns: What's new?

I think a nice feature that if the mask doesn't fit properly on your ugly freakin' face, they will ship it back on their dime AND give you a refund
