Interview with Big Jake Lords
Famous for wearing ridiculously thin wetsuits in freezing water, owning plenty of fresh water species world records and his jovial and always stoked pics and stories on Insta @bigjakelords. I’ve been looking forward to this chat forever! His instagram profile is full of stoke about the spearing lifestyle and just good vibes. In this chat we focus in on developing resilience and thriving in tough conditions. Sub-Zero water temps, sh#t vis and no dive buddies! It’s a rad chat that the truly dedicated, frothing spearo will understand and relate to – listen in!
