JAY RIFFE was ten years old when he started spearfishing off the Southern California Coast with a hand spear. At age fifteen he was spearfishing competitively, and by age twenty-two became the Pacific Coast Champion. Jay then placed in the Nationals, landing a spot on the World Spearfishing Team. Later, he set three World Records... all with his own handcrafted spearguns.

Early on, this one experienced diver saw a need for spearguns that are silent, powerful, accurate, and highly maneuverable. So Jay Riffe combined his professional machine tool engineering with his passion for spearfishing to create 5 different Series of spearguns comprised of 36 distinct models of ergonomically designed, handcrafted teak and metal spearguns of unsurpassed quality and optimum performance.

RIFFE INTERNATIONAL, INC. has earned the reputation for building a premier speargun for the Silent Hunter. Today, RIFFE is proud to offer their customers, not only the most advanced speargun, but a variety of diving accessories supporting all levels of diving. Our goal is to continue producing the highest quality products for the diving enthusiast.

 
RESOURCE CONSERVATION IS A RIFFE HUNTING PHILOSOPHY

"Selective divers set their sights on only
those few prize game fish they will enjoy bringing home"

FISH FOR THE FUTURE!

Beginning with laminated plantation teak stock, each RIFFE Speargun is finished with our special saturation process before advancing through our meticulous manufacturing and assembly stages.

Precision stainless steel parts are CNC machined in RIFFE's state-of-the-art machining facility. Each RIFFE Speargun is individually serialized and date stamped including lot and model numbers.

Extensive tank testing enables the RIFFE design team to measure the effect of recoil, accuracy, and impact of the RIFFE Speargun.
