Ah, got it! Thanks for the info! I purchased it at Outback Adventures in San Rafael originally 

If you have an "odd bod" like me that seems to be in between sizes, you should get a custom wetsuit. I got mine from Oceanos which is shockingly affordable even with shipping from Greece to the U.S.. the cheapest I've found

+1 to everyone else's comments. I'd stick to a 7mm if you're planning on using it up here more often than warmer waters

gonna be there with the kayak for the first time. until then, i am scouring these forums for the basics but would be awesome to have someone to paddle around with. I'll be launching near the tahoe keys marina

Hi new friends,

I'm Vic. I live in San Francisco. And I just bought a yak for the oceans. It's a used Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160.

I bought it in May but left for Croatia for 2.5 months the following week so I haven't had a chance to get out on the water with it yet. I do still need to get a rod/reel and associated accessories, however. I'm a pretty big newb when it comes to fishing so I'm in the research phase, I guess you could say.

But I've been freediving for about 3 years now, primarily for abalone here in CA and spearfishing in Croatia over the summers. So, I guess you can consider me your resident information center on all things spearfishing in Croatia (among other things there).
