Stroking through atmospheres

Friday, December 19th, 2008 by MC

Awesome video of a deep dive. Constant weight without fins.
For those of you who don’t realize, in diving, once you swim down past the first two atmospheres or 66 feet, you don’t need to swim anymore, you just sink. This really saves effort on the way down. Getting back to the surface is another story. Niki Roderick makes it look easy breast stroking through the atmospheres.

GROUPER AND POLE SPEARS AND KIWIS, OH MY!

Once again Ryan has outdone himself. Look for lots of freediving action when Ryan and crew go grouper hunting in the NC.

Special interview with the intriguing Nicki Roderick, New Zeland record holder in unassisted freediving. Her record is 53 meters or 170+ feet deep. No SCUBA, no fins, no complaints!

Look for a cameo from photog legend DJ Struntz. As always the out-takes are classic.

Sauce, Stick, SarDean, Steve Harring, maybe Dickie Vocals and more skating Monmouth County some time in the early 80’s. These guys are as punk as they come.

Stubby

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 by MC

Dickie Vocals has me all hyped up on these things. Since breaking my most sincere thruster a couple of days ago, I have been contemplating alternate paths to waveriding zen. The Stubby is one option I’m considering. (more…)

183 meter no limits

Monday, November 17th, 2008 by MC

Herbert Nitsch’s world record “No Limits” dive to 183 Meters or just over 600 feet. This is crazy.

World record inspiration for Monday morning. Now go get em!

William Trubridge Freediving the Arch

Friday, November 14th, 2008 by MC

This is the first no fins, no suit freedive through the Arch, a 30m long tunnel connecting Dahab’s Blue Hole to the Red Sea. Depth is 55m.

This is a truly minimalistic approach to deep diving.

Freediving Stupid

Bikini Breath Holder

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 by MC

3minutes 45 seconds is a solid hold. This is the same tank from the 4 minute video we featured a couple of months ago. I don’t know what’s going on, but whoever owns this tank must be good freediving coach or a sadist, or both.

Check out the contractions at the end. Just watching them makes me uncomfortable.

See if you can get 2 minutes above the water. Good luck.
