At 105 feet, Paulo Afonso takes a tricky shot with his Riffe Marauder, and the real work begins.

Powerful and fast, a greater amberjack will often make a hard run for the reef the moment it’s hit, turning every second of the fight into a test of control.

Paulo stayed composed and comfortable in the new Aurum-Tek Camo wetsuit and brought home a hard-earned fish. Muito bem, Paulo!

"Getting washed over rocks while chasing big fish is one of those moments that reminds you how quickly things can turn serious in the ocean. In this dive, rough conditions, shallow reef and powerful fish make for a high-pressure session where every move matters. From battling the surge to getting into position on some quality fish, this is raw Australian spearfishing with plenty of action, risk and unpredictable moments. If you love big fish, challenging conditions and real spearfishing adventures, this one is for you." Tim McDonald | Spearfishing Downunder

NEW CAMO DROP!

AURUM-TEK is more than a new camo. It’s a reflection of where RIFFE comes from and what we stand for.

Aurum, aka gold, is the 79th element on the periodic table. A direct nod to 1979, the year RIFFE was founded. A symbol of the standard we’ve spent over four decades building, refining, and defending. This is heritage with purpose.

Inspired by blue water conditions, the flash of yellowfin tuna, and rafts of sargassum, Aurum-Tek’s layered digital design helps break up the human silhouette while maintaining a bold, technical aesthetic that is unmistakably RIFFE.

Now available in our new Lycra Collection: Long-Sleeve Hooded Top with Beavertail, Lycra Pants, and Rash Guard.

There’s nothing like sharing and celebrating a first.

Your first speargun you’ve always wanted.

The first time you slip into the water and see the fish of your dreams.

The first pull of the trigger that turns into a day you’ll never forget.

For Edmund Jin that first with the Raider 70 ended with a perfect-sized yellowfin tuna, one he could share with friends and family.

“It felt smooth, powerful, and accurate. When the fish appeared and swam into position, everything worked exactly as I imagined. The setup felt solid and gave me confidence in the blue water, knowing I was equipped for whatever showed up. I really appreciate the quality of their equipment.”

Here’s to the moments that become stories and the firsts still waiting below the surface.

RIFFE Team Diver Sebastian Melani was born in Patagonia, Argentina, where his early life around yacht clubs and dive clubs first pulled him into the underwater world. A first scuba dive at eight changed everything, and freediving and spearfishing quickly became his life.

After studying a marine biology career and becoming a PADI instructor, Sebastian shifted fully into spearfishing and never looked back. Today, he’s based in Mexico, where he built SPEARMEX, the country’s first Spearfishing & Freediving Academy, and continues to lead blue water hunts, trips, and training.

He’s driven by connection with nature, the challenge of pelagic hunting, and the moments that matter most, especially sharing the underwater world with his family.

Heading up from his first drop of the day, Ryder DeVoe saw a wahoo above him. It looked big. As the fish started to swim away, he fired a long shot with the Raider 67.

With sharks closing in, the fish was worked carefully back to the surface. As it came into view, the Slip Tip held, although stopped short of a full pass-through by the spine. Hands secured the gills. 93.4 pounds on the scale.
 
If anyone knows Ryder, he is one fishy guy and usually the first to get in the water, setting the tone for the day. Congratulations on landing the biggest fish/Personal Best Wahoo and securing the highest score overall at the 20th Annual Blue Water World Cup.
 
Baja was Jay’s second home and supporting this event each year holds a special place in our hearts. Having a couple of the RIFFE crew down there to participate this year made it even more special.

A Big Thank You to Palapas Ventana Fishing and everyone who helped make it a success.

RIFFE Team Diver Diego Santiago grew up on the coast of Brazil, where a simple mask and snorkel at eight years old opened the door to a world he never wanted to leave. What started with hook-and-line trips with his dad quickly turned into a lifelong obsession with seeing what lived beneath the surface, and over the last 20 years, this sport has become his life.

From Búzios to Panamá, Diego has landed true giants: a 258 lb (117 kg) yellowfin tuna, powerful cobia, trophy groupers, and heavyweight amberjack that test every bit of his breath-hold, patience, and positioning. Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, is his favorite hunting ground, with year-round fish and volcanic structure that hold hidden treasures.

On land, Diego runs his own spearfishing and freediving shop, sharing hard-earned knowledge, trusted gear, and his passion for the sport with divers who chase the same bluewater dreams. What drives him most is the deep connection with nature, using mind and body together under pressure, and coming home with a fresh, healthy meal for family and friends. From close encounters with killer whales to schools of giant reef fish, Diego brings calm focus to BIG opportunities and an unwavering respect for the sea.
