First time diving in Spain - World Spearfishing Championship
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- In the beginning of September, the world spearfishing championship were hosted in Spain, and I was representing Norway.
We had a couple of days with scouting before the competition, but the conditions shifted to the extend that we had to relearn pretty much everything. Also I've never dived south of Norway before, definitely not an advantage.
Still, competitions like this is a great way to gather new insights in the sport, and meet old and new friends. Had an absolute blast, and its a memory I'll think of for years to come.
Hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful video Aksel!!!
Thanks Ryan! Are you making one from the comp?
Great video Aksel! See you in Turkey?
Thanks! Just saw that you posted an hour before me, excited to see your perspective! I qualified for the team again, but not sure if there will be an European Championship next summer. We’ll see!:)
Two best spearfishing content creators in one place 😮
It's the 'taking part' that counts. Well filmed and good story telling. 👍
A great experience and find memories for sure, thank you!
I like how you said "" the fish here are smaller than in Norway so I did not think twice"" - something along that line
Så gøy å se Aksel! Og blekkspruter - fantastisk 🙂
Takk☺️ Ja, det var kjempeartig!
una bonita experiencia y excelentes condiciones en el Cantabrico, un fusil monogoma de 90 es lo ideal en esas aguas
Sí, fue tanto hermoso como desafiante. Suena inteligente, pero el mejor fusil es el que has usado más, ¡y este lleva 5 años resistiendo! (translate)
@@AkselOrstavik indudablemente, pero seguro que Santi pescó con un 90 o 80, salvo que vayas exclusivamente a dentones o corvinas, los 80-90 son los más polivalentes y prácticos en esas aguas
Respect. It is not easy visiting a new environment and competing with the locals.
Definitely not, which made the silver from NZ and bronze for Tahiti incredible to witness! Gonna have to take the hole hunting with me this winter in Norway, ling is too good to only catch once a year;)
really good video! mullets are really tricky when it comes to weight hahah. Hope you liked Spain, visit Galicia!
Thanks:) Agree, especially if you’ve never shot one before! I really enjoyed the spearfishing (even though I struggled), and definitely want to go back!
Good experience wish you better in the future
Ser utrolig vanskelig ut å jakte på en helt ny plass etter arter man ikke kjenner så godt til fra før🐠 😅 herlig video. Gleder meg til neste👌
Hehe ja det var ikke lett! Gikk greit frem til sikten ble god, da ble det tydelig hvor bortskjemte vi er i Norge😅 Men, det er noe av gleden med disse konkurransene, lærer en hel masse!
Good job. Also, I am a great fan of octopus too, don't like eating them because of it.
Thanks man! Yeah I’d have conflicting feelings taking octopus I think, but on the other hand they’re very good. To each their own, as long as it’s sustainable
@@AkselOrstavik Yeah that's the problem, ain't it. They're bloody delicious :O
I think the fish in 4:39 are two "Herrera" (Lithognathus mormyrus) , Nice video
Thanks! For me, everything that has a shape somewhat like a dentex must be a dentex. Same with the fish I missed at the pier the second day. Seen Daniel Manns struggle for to long, so it imprinted on my brain😅
Hey Aksel, where abouts was this? I am from new zealand but i want to come to spain and portugal for spearfihshing :)
Hey! This was in Laredo, close to Bilbao in the Bay of Biscay:)
Where did you get those orange hard bags for the equipment? What are they called?
It’s called Sporttube, they’re amazing for diving gear. Got it from Frivannsliv in Norway, but I think you have to buy from the brand itself from the states
@@AkselOrstavik Oh tusen tak Aksel. Jeg er i Morokko (correct?). Jeg liker norge og snakker norsk 🤣... I hope I will be able to get it here from the company through international shipping
@@Spearfishing-oy4ny Thats correct! Yeah I think it should be fine, just order from the official page I guess:) dont know for sure though
@@AkselOrstavik i tired. They don't shop here unfortunately. No problem. I will try to get it somehow. Thanks for your time
Love your content! What is the name of that orange case you use for travel?
Thanks! I use a Sporttube size 2, absolutely love it. Daniel Mann has a proper video on how to park it, recommend giving it a watch to see it better:)
@@AkselOrstavik awesome thanks! I have binge watched all your vids in the last few days epic content!
@@iknoetze Glad to hear, really appreciate it!
hva slags undervannskamera bruker du? Og hva slags dykkecomputer?
Gopro 9 med undervannshus:) kan fås ganske rimelig på Finn! Klokka er en Garmin Descent Mk2s, kombinert dykke- og sportsklokke som jeg svidde av dimmepengene på noen år tilbake:)
Which company did you go to? Ryanair stopped me from boarding the speargun!
That sucks! All the domestic flights in Norway is super nice, and I took Vueling to Spain. Didn't mention speargun, its "fishing equipment" as long as its not pneumatic:)
Unfortunately the Mediterranean sea is overfished.
Yeah, but this was in the Bay of Biscay. Fish in this area, I just wasn’t skilled enough to catch any😅
You need to find a better place to spearfish like the south Pacific
Its on the bucket list for sure! Have any experience with it?
