We are pleased to announce a partnership with ORCA and DR. Edie Widder. We are at the time being working on bringing to market a special edition ORCA Lunocet where part of the profit will be directly given to ORCA, further collaboration of this kind will flourish as the lunosapien community grows.

“Without healthy oceans we cannot have a healthy planet, but with proper guidance from the scientific community and support from the public we can have both.”-Dr Edie Widder

Right now there are a few books on our shelf. A lot on hydrodynamics but the one that is following us in the lunobag to the aquabatics sessions in the lagoon these days is “Song for the Blue Ocean” by Carl Safina. Why? Because we (as Lunosapiens) are a product of our environment and our environment is the the world’s ocean. Carl Safina not only gives us a good idea of the state of our fisheries worldwide (not too glamourous) but makes us travel from the eastern seaboard of the US and Canada to the Indo Pacific. His vivid descriptions gets us into the backseat of a piper cub tracking schools of tuna listening to an old “spotter” pilot lamenting on the state of fisheries in the gulf of Maine. What makes this environmentalist book stand apart from the bunch is that it stays away from theory and brings some hands on facts to the table. It is a harsh reality that Safina exposes us to, but he gives it an adventurous approach that empowers us to take action. A great read indeed! Find it here.

The past month has seen some remarkable new world records in Freediving. The lunosapiens that we are would like to congratulate both Guillaume Nery of France and Natalia Molchanova of Russia for their outstanding performance in constant weight (the discipline of freediving where one goes down and comes up only by fin propulsion). Guillaume pushed the mark to 113 meters (370 feet) and Natalia to 95 meters (311 feet). We are hopeful that the near future will bring some records made with lunocet.

First apply 7500 psi of pressure to a carbon fibered waterproof foam, heated at very high temps. Then pull the piece out of the top secret aluminum anodized mold. Wait a few minutes to let the piece cool down. Delicately apply the silicone to the trailing edge area of the carbon fiber hydrofoil. Press it again at high temp in the next mold. And… voila! your Lunocet hydrofoil.

Repeat operation twice to obtain one serving for one adult lunosapien.

Are we there yet? 

Ted Ciamillo and a couple more Luno Sapiens (including Lunocette Sapiensette) shall leave the comfort of their home lagoon for the DEMA show floor in Las Vegas. Come and see us from the 22nd to the 25th of October. We will communicate our booth # as soon as we can, so you can easily track us down.

Until then keep checking the site for further info.
