8/24 Cold water self rescue clinic...

Who interested in practicing cold water self rescue? 
Who's interested in getting instructions for the legend Sean Morley?

After witnessing a few incidents at Albion, I realized too many people have no experience, are rusty, or don't realize just how cold our ocean really is.  Hypothermia can happen quicker than we think. 

Sean Morley has agreed to conduct a self rescue clinic at Timber Cove on 8/24. 
I think it would be good for all of us.
Who knows, it could turn into a surf clinic and fishing hookup too
I'll bring wood for a fire.

Who's game?

 
 

Also if you haven't practiced self rescue, start in warm calm water and practice proper technique. There's tons of info online.
Practice what works best for you & do it over & over & over again.
Then try it in the ocean.

I'm diving with an old friend up North of there that day...will try and swing by on the way home to see you guys.

Great job Marcos and Sean M. for putting this together!!

 

Sincerely,

Jim

I will do my best to show. Hoping to sharpen my skills especially the surf re-entry. Will be bringing my snow board helmet and elbow pads as last time I surfed Doran with Hydrospider I bloodied my self pretty good. In the picture attached you can only see my paddle but I did reover and rode it to the beach. My nickname for the day was "crash test dummy"
