Spearguns
Every Daryl Wong Speargun
I use only the finest old-growth teak. Less mature plantation teak is weaker and less dense, while mahogany and padauk are less water-resistant. Varnish and lacquer provide a beautiful, low-maintenance finish. For my hybrid speargun barrels, I use the highest quality carbon fiber. I hand-assemble trigger mechanisms and test them to 600 pounds. For quality assurance, a few in each batch are tested to the breaking point, normally between 1250 and 1750 pounds. The handle is made from one of the strongest polymer polycarbonates (used in bullet-proof material). The open pistol grip fits all hand sizes and is easy to handle. Finally, all of my spearguns are perfectly balanced and carry a lifetime warranty.
