After a hiatus in 2021, the Stoned-Em Sounds Summer Slam Spearfishing Competition finally returned over the weekend – bigger and better than ever.

If you’re looking to get into spearfishing or freediving, the first step is kitting yourself out with some gear. While you’ll need a few bits of gear initially, the ongoing cost for spearfishing and freediving is relatively low. It’s also an enjoyable and sustainable way to grab a feed and enjoy our epic backyard.

Check out this recent Southern 726 fit up. This open hardtop is ideal here in Marlborough with the epic combination of performance and comfort for the whole crew whether you’re cruising the Sounds or going wide.

Any day is a good day for crispy fried chicken, and this recipe couldn’t be easier.

On July 3rd, 2021 we officially launched Marlborough’s biggest selection of spearfishing and freediving gear. We were joined by the Ocean Hunter Auckland team and plenty of locals to kick things off with a bang. We swapped dive stories, tips and tricks and enjoyed one of Pete’s famous Weber feeds. Here’s how it went.
