Gat-Ku Polespears presents the 5th annual Gat-Ku Polespear Meet on Saturday July 17th, 2010 to benefit Youth Venture Teen Centers. This spearfishing meet is OPEN TO EVERYONE. FREEDIVING ONLY. Let’s put away our high tech Riffes, Wongs, Rob-Allens and custom bazookas for a fun day of diving back to where all of our original roots lie in this great sport of spearfishing – the traditional way, pole spearing!
