I wonder why that is?
nailer, i am not sure i actually qualify as tons of experience
but......................
what skills i think someone needs are just my opinion
and all opinion's are different
for instance
a common one seems to be gear familiarity
but this is difficult to do until you are well on your way down the dark path
remember how many tweaks and twists you tried on your doubles back in the day?
i did a dozen dives in my little doubles just trying to figure out how tight i wanted my crotch strap
the number one skill needed?
all of my tech partners have it, you have it, romer treece has it, rob has it
the magical component?
no matter what, we can deal with it
we are coming home, no matter what happens, bad boat, bad vis, bad current, or a bad lemon wedge wedgie (the worst one)
i know when i turn to my partner, what needs to be will be, and we are coming home
sounds trite, and even lame, but you cannot learn that mind set
you either know it or you do not
