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?

    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....

    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.

    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.
