Lunoblog

We are surely within breach with a little more technique and a tad of Luno tweaking here and there…

 

 

Your mind is focused on the number fifteen, you look at your watch pivoting then shifting your weight to initiate the descent, your feet on the aluminum plate: the accelerator on a racecar. You start counting fifteen kicking cycles, fifteen vertical meters from the surface for exactly a 15th fraction of a second in levitation. When your face emerges, fresh air is enough to engage the automatic lower back bending necessary to trigger the breach.  You are now in the moment, your body in mid air, frozen in time. 150 frames per second would not be enough to capture the smile on your face. You hear the characteristic noise of a camera shutter as your body meets the water again, all your muscles relax, your mind is now clear. 

We have received a lot of emails asking of how realistic a full breach (entire body propelled out of the water) is with a Lunocet. Well I could talk about hydrofoil pitch angle, muscle mass, flexibility of the Lunosapien and even theoretical depth that one needs to attain in order to get the extra Archimedes push to reach full breach . But this is all dry theory and we are more into spending time in the water. For now we have been  enjoying “NBE” (Near Breaching Experience) while staying focused on pursuing the full breach. We are shipping out the first Lunocet units in the next 2 weeks and  are looking forward to see more video action from users soon. Also We are putting together a pro user team composed of triathletes, freedivers and monofin swimmers to pursue the breach. Not to forget that breaching is not the only aquabatic that one will  pull off with a Lunocet , get inspiration here!  I am a big fan of the bubble trail before partial breach with a Lunocet Extension (tail extension) finale. The main idea behind aquabatics is their evolution, and how Lunosapiens will create and refine the tricks. I would like to conclude by a few wise words from my freediver instructor Aharon Solomon at Freedivers:

“We have long ago surpassed the limits attainable by purely physical excellence and are now venturing into the terra incognita of our mental potential”

If one does google the word “breach” not much but human rights breaching and a plethora of legal terms (i.e: breach of contract) shall show up. Not that Lunosapiens are not concerned about human rights but while maintaining rules, humans seem to have forgotten that breaching is  a word that means fun in the marine mammal world. The Lunocet is to help in adding the word “breach” as an in water human behavior. Very soon on the blog  a page for lunosapiens behaviors and aquabatics  will come to life. 

015-Time to Breach!
