The name

The bow is humanity's oldest precision tool. Lankas takes it underwater and keeps it simple: a grip, two tubes, a band and your own strength.

Tradition

Drawn to the chin like an archer. Your eye, your arm, your release.

Simplicity

Few parts and no trigger mechanism. Every part can be seen, replaced or repaired.

Craft

Brushed aluminium, an etched logo and a grip refined by hand. Made in small batches.

Respect for the ocean

Selective, close-range, one-breath hunting. Take only what you need.

How it works

Simpler than a speargun. More power than a simple sling.

  1. Seat the shaft

    Slide the shaft through the guide and set its tail in the cup at the centre of the band.

  2. Draw to the chin

    Push the grip forward and pull the cup back to your chin, like a bow. Left or right hand.

  3. Aim and release

    Look down the shaft, open your fingers and let the band do the work.
