Interest in a Santa Barbara competition?

Hey,

It feels like Santa Barbara is kind of under-represented as far as spearfishing
clubs.

So with that in mind would anyone be interested in having a spearfishing competition? Either low key...no sponsors, meet and fish etc., or a more organized event?

I haven't met that many spearos up here and it might be fun to have some good hearted competition.

What are your .02 cents?

Re: Interest in a Santa Barbara competition?

Ya... you have a point about noobs (myself relatively included). However, that seems like all the more reason to get some organization going or hold some events. I'm not trying to volunteer myself for anything...but I'd be willing to help out with some stuff.

I am also slightly more interested in some sort of competition... it seems like a great way to meet the local spearo's and spread some knowledge.

Are there any older Santa Barbarians that would be interested? Maybe we should have an age requirement... or at least require those involved to have a drivers license. JK guys.

I believe there is a club already, the Del Pacificos or something like that, in SB. I don't know if they are defunct though.

I checked their website out and couldn't get any current information on them, I'm pretty sure they are not around any more.

Rojo, I hope to see you at the Sema Nautica and we'll see how the chips fall... You're sadly mistaken if you think you're going to come up here and enter a tournament in which nobody but the newbie's enter.. Not everbody that feedives in SB posts on this board. Oh and by the way, a little humility goes a long way!!

Re: Interest in a Santa Barbara competition?

you were a noob at some point, too, Austin. You're good, but there are those of us who are going to catch up. And besides, with a haircut that leaves most of us noobs wondering if you're a guy or a girl......... hey, is that the secret to spearfishing success? or should I just make fun of noobs?
