Long fin antics…
Of course there are other ways to fish… Spearfishing being one of the best and most eco-friendly means to put fish on the grill.

Super rash guard…
Hammerhead has a new 1 MM wetsuit top that is just the thing for places like the Caribbean where you need a little more than a rash guard and a little less than a “real” wetsuit. The Adaptation 1mm also has the advantage of coming in a couple of Camo patterns and even if you …
