Welcome Lurkers!

[Killing Nemo]

What's up everybody!
Just got my account activated so I thought I would say a little something about myself. My name is Trevor and I have been in the water most of my life. My dad was a surfer so I pretty much grew up at the beach. Been surfing now for about 26 of my 34 years. I currently live in Oxnard, CA at Silver Strand Beach. I used to get to dive on vacation with my parents in places like Tahiti, Turks & Caicos and Cancun but haven't done that in a long time. I have done some scuba but always seemed to prefer freediving. Love the simplicity of it! Lately I decided to dust of the old mask and start diving in some of the kelp beds to the south around the Ventura/LA county line areas. I picked up a really nice polespear from someone on Craigs list for a hell of a deal. Wanted a gun but decided to start out simple. Learn the basics and go from there. I haven't really speared anything good yet but I'm having a great time trying! I'm usually out solo (Ya Ya I know!) but can't seem to get any of my friends past the surfline. So if anyone doesn't mind a noob tagging along, hit me up...

Welcome to the board Killing Nemo!

There are lots of people in your neck of the woods to network with. Put a post up in the California section and I'm sure you'll get some takers.

Recent ex-lurker just signed up. And about time too.

Hello all, I look forward to spending time on the forum learning & sharing. If I eventually meet any of you and beer raises its ugly head (or erases my ugly head), so be it.

Cheers!
Alan.

I don't know whats going on but my brother and I both signed up at the same time and my account has been approved for posting but his still doesn't let him do anything...more lurkers would probably sign up if mods would approve their accounts in a timely fashion, he signed up over a month ago

Not sure of your brother's screen name, but I cleared any open ones signed up around your sign up date.

Aloha,
Ive been lurking on hear since 2005 but never like post anything of my own. I figured its about time to at least introduce my self. Im Daniel Mauhili, I live in Carlsbad, Ca. Spend most of the time in the water surfing or chasing dinner at Tamarack beach in Carlsbad. I have always enjoyed the ocean, surfing and spearfishing have been my favoite hobbies for along time, this summer has finnaly given me an opportunity to get out there and shot some pelagics. And thanks to Cpt Leo I did get my first. Scuba Certified in 1991 and since 2003 have been mostly Freediving, Scuba mostly now just for lobsters. I usually dive alone, so if you see a short fat Hawaiian coming out of the water at Tamarac, and its close to dinner time? its probly me.
Aloha Daniel.
