I highly recommend you...Open water swimming rules! I highly recommend you NOT do it in the old surfing wetsuit. Those things restrict your arm movement. Try it in a real swimming wetsuit- the kind you wear in a triathlon. They are warmer, cause your legs to float and allow for mobility in your arms. Also, you can purchase a neoprene hat for open water swimming. Try sportsbasement.com or something similar. I wear a neoprene hat until July! Swimming in open water is SO MUCH better than swimming in a pool.<BR/><BR/>Another tip- tie a cord around your leg, then tie it to a kickboard. That way, if you get in to trouble swimming by yourself (not really recommended), you can reach for the kickboard. I have also heard of people placing a small orange flag on the kickboard so other people can see them.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12965313247035439611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-23845238096168198062007-04-28T11:40:00.000-06:002007-04-28T11:40:00.000-06:00i start to shiver when i reach here... wow, is it ...i start to shiver when i reach here... wow, is it true there is mr croco in that water?<BR/><BR/>it look soo cold, but i think i could get a salmon..<BR/><BR/>yummy... salmon belly sushi is nice... with wasabi..Amiene Revhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09624053165662353564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-59500461306926285232007-04-28T09:58:00.000-06:002007-04-28T09:58:00.000-06:00I think you are just bored, a recreational drug ha...I think you are just bored, a recreational drug habit might be a better way to go.Juanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283672346601878803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-83245542642214110022007-04-28T05:50:00.000-06:002007-04-28T05:50:00.000-06:00I think you can do anything you can set your mind ...I think you can do anything you can set your mind to.

When he moved up here he was one of those guys wind surfing in Cook Inlet. He said it was some of the most dangerous (and fun) wind surfing he has ever done. So I say you should try it.Ni Yachenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17402963325941948492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-11387335194356020682007-04-27T14:59:00.000-06:002007-04-27T14:59:00.000-06:00Cool!
