Journey


Above and below the water - that’s it! We began as a blog created by a group of good mates living on the South West coast of Australia. The blog SEAULCER.TV was our way to show and share the life we were living and the adventures that followed.

A lot of time in the water meant we always had reef cuts, but they weren’t too bad when you’re a stoked grom having a hell time! When the surf is pumping or water is clear who cares about a sea ulcer when you can get barrelled or nail a good fish. Sea ulcers were a common consequence of our water lifestyle so we embraced the name.

As time went on, the team ventured in different directions, but I kept it going with my vision of one day turning Sea Ulcer in something amazing. Byron and I met while we were diving for crayfish, we shared the same passion and began brainstorming future ideas together.

Chatting over a beer one afternoon, we asked ourselves a question: “Could you catch a fish with a drone?” Intrigued to find out if it was possible, we designed and built a homemade drone attachment, turning our crazy idea into reality! It was the most exciting moment of our lives and something we will never forget. During the very first attempt of drone fishing we hooked and landed a 22 KG tuna from the beach! It was freaking crazy and un-be-lie-va-ble!!!

We filmed and shared the catch in a YouTube video called: Drone Fishing For Tuna. It was revolutionary! Everybody was stoked on the idea and wanted to experience drone fishing for themselves so from that day our dream was to make this experience accessible to everyone.

We started our journey as entrepreneurs, committing to inventing and testing a totally new and unique drone fishing attachment to share with the world. And believe me it wasn’t easy but as always, we had fun during the process and enjoyed the journey. Pouring all our assets in to make it happen only added risk but after 18 months of research, development and testing prototypes, without losing a single drone, our entrepreneurial spirit and hard work had paid off: SKY RIGGER – The world’s first drone fishing accessory developed, designed and tested by Sea Ulcer.

SKY RIGGER is now the ultimate drone fishing accessory available.

From here our journey continues with you – we want to see everyone involved and help share the stoke, because good times with your mates is what it’s all about!
