North Atlantic Championship

North Atlantic Championship

April 20, 2012 0 By René Potvin

The year I decided to use the Renesub Spearguns exclusively, I won the North Atlantic Championships. To win the Championship and earn the very pompus title of North Atlantic Champion, well it sounds grandiose, you have to accumulate the most points during the Open Competitions of the North Atlantic States that have a counsel. In 2009 and 2010, I had to compete in the New York Open, Massachusetts Open and the Rhode Island Open. I won both years. In 2011 I was busy kayaking from Miami to Montreal (http://miami2montreal.com). It took 114 days.

I think the gun with its extra range enabled me to score some very decisive points.

Winning the trophy in 2009, you can see my name on the trophy since I had won it in 2003.

This is me winning the first competition of 2009 and realizing what an advantage I had.

About The Author

Long time spearfisherman and competitor, I used a large selection of very good products but I wanted a speargun that made no concessions. I made a speargun that would not float or sink. I designed the speargun so the bands, the shaft and the hand holding the speargun were on the same level. This avoid the all too common loss of stability during release. Lastly, I produced a mechanism that is incredibly strong and smooth. I have been competing solely with my products since 2009 and I managed to win the North Atlantic Spearfishing Champion twice. The added range and precision really helped.
