 The ocean got the best of me on fri. Rolled my kayak and although I had everything tied down, the clip on my speargun failed and was lost. If anyone does find an omer Caymen 75cm with a knock off go pro I would love to offer them a 6pack, tons of good karma, and $50. Thanx and be safe out there

Sorry to hear that.  Not sure about Van Damme but looked at a few spots on Friday and because of the west swell I decided not to go.  I think there were some scuba folks out there so maybe someone will post up that they found it.

Brudda, sorry to hear about the mishap but I'm glad you are ok. I haven't dove in Van Damme for quite sometimes but I will keep my eyes and ears open if I see or hear anything from other dive and fishing site regarding found gears at that location. Aloha

Bummer about the rough outing.  Must have been pretty bad.....VD usually is the calmest place on the coast in rough weather.  Hope someone finds it and returns it to ya.

+1 on that.

Did this roll happen at the beach? If you can post a general location, those of us that frequent the site can keep a lookout.

Was otw to keyhole rock. About 1/2 way there there is a reef that creates a cross swell that's were I rolled.  I've charged it a few times now w/o any issues but that day the swell got the best of me.

Yeah that place can get crazy with rouge waves.  Lost my mask and GoPro their last year.
