Extreme Fishing in Cuba
Meet Cuba’s courageous foam fishermen. They glue together bits of discarded Styrofoam and leftover wood, then paddle far out to sea. What could go wrong?
Most of us wouldn't trust these "boats" in a swimming pool. And the Cuban military is always watching- in case they make a break for Florida.
• Why take such an incredible risk?
• What secret “Cuban” piece of equipment do they all take with them?
• How do they transport their boats home when they’re done (hint: wheels)
• How are their boats built and - once they fall apart - rebuilt?

That first boy spear fisherman walking barefoot on those rocks, kudos to him.
I haven't seen a video as accurate as this one portraying what it's really like to live in Cuba, how difficult it is to make ends meet....
Honest, hard working people
I've watched almost every video on this Channel! Keep it up!

They didn't forget to ask for a drill bit, they probably didn't HAVE a drill bit, the economic situation in Cuba is bad, don't gleam it over, they're a hard working people working with a hard situation.

Excellent point - and often true. In this case I asked them and they told me that they had forgotten to ask for it so I took them at their word.
Wow alot of fish i hope someday i go there to catch a fish
My uncle used to tell me stories about his childhood in Cuba but I don't think he told me anything about boats like these are these boats like somewhat a new thing?

then >>?????
what an unimaginably broken system i bet this would be the actual picture of places like north korea or belarus if you could film like this
ARE ALL CUBANS FISHING LIKE THIS 🤔
Hard to believe they live like this 100 miles away from Florida. No wonder the Cubans I know are against Communism.
One looks at the dire human condition in Cuba. The economic siege imposed by the United States has succeeded in making people in Cuba suffer and some die. Yet, in time of dire need in Italy, Cuba sent fifty doctors to Italy to replace Italian doctors who died of the Coronavirus pandemic. Do a story on the Cuban doctors in Italy saving lives.
It's not a boat honey it's a raft
when democracy come here they will be sad
is so sad,a im cuban and i hate that sistem
A nice story but fragmented videos 👎
