awesome Cubera and Mutton Chad!
Jason, we had a few other issues going and just couldn't fit it in.....looked like a lot of fun...would have liked to have made it! If Tony does another 3 packer next year, I'll be sure and schedule things out better!

Congrats on a hugely successful tournament Tony, spearfishing wins out big time with great events like this!

Re: Unofficial Tournament Results...2008 Palm Beach Blue Storm Open

It was indeed a great event. Turnout was huge (packed hall), prizes were plentiful, food was great and fish were thick. Alot of money was raised for FRA @ highly-addictive Ring Toss (graciously setup and ran by Florida Freedivers)! Congratulations to all the winners.

Re: Unofficial Tournament Results...2008 Palm Beach Blue Storm Open

Very fun & well organized...air-condition venue was the "iceing on the cake"!!

(For all you guys who hadn't heard I was shooting Saturday...a camera...and I couldn't talk the bride & groom into being weighed in!!)

Congrats Chad on a great showing...you kicked butt and wowed all, especially the fish seekers who came to see what the shindig was all about. It was really cool to walk around shooting images and listening to all the on lookers comments...as spearos we really do amazing things underwater when you look at it from the "otherside", just we've become so used to it, it's normal for us.

Re: Official Tournament Results...2008 Palm Beach Blue Storm Open

The guy who placed #22, "Dan Lindley", is that the guy from Jacksonville area who runs the "offshore dive charters"? If so, it looks like he was involved in an aggressive incident the same day of the tournament in the Jax area?

Details here:

The guy from the JAX incident sounds like the same guy who was discussed in an earlier thread on this forum, here:

No wonder you're the go to guy. Congratulations, because you truly earned it !
I hope I can shoot a fish 1/4th that size one day.

Jim, sorry to hear about your gun trouble, at least the boat didn't sink !

Rinaldo, note for the future. Dont be amazed by anything Chad shoots. He's a monster in the water! Incredible.

Norman

Chad and Jose are a team to deal with. I am glad they made your tourny this year. And I am sure they will make the Keys SBO. You can bet I will be there.

Keep in touch
Dan
