The creation of the “Kelp Skimmer” Abalone Dive Board was the result of years of input from trophy abalone hunters. Each board is custom built. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a “float line” attached to your abalone iron. The board follows you as you dive. The “Kelp Skimmer” tends to slide over the top of kelp with minimal tangling when compared with other dive float devices. Under windy conditions, the profile of the board’s exposure to the wind can be further reduced by flipping it over, placing the bag underwater.
The “Kelp Skimmer” has a dive bag attached with two compartments, shoulder straps and waist strap for backpacking it to the dive site, a plastic cleat for anchoring, two grab handles on the rails, and several brass clips for attaching gear both inside and outside of the bag.
The cost of the board is the price of materials plus $100 for the labor involved. Currently material costs are $185, so each board is $285.
