i have the new otterbox for the 2nd gen ipods.. need to check yours out next time i see you danny..

mine is pretty rugged.. but im more concerned w/ the waterproof housing..

the nano is so light so there is not much in ruggedness needed, i just need to keep water out.

already lost one ipod out on the water (forgot i had my shuffle in my pocket).. dont want to lose another.

Had a blast on Sunday morning at NB. My First time riding there and I had so much fun riding the waves. I mean flat, waves, choppy I don't care. I can get enough of this. As usual I saw a lot of happy faces at the beach. Good for all!

Default H2o

If your interested, WSW carries the H2O line. We looked at them all and although they are a bit more $$$, but we feel they are the best in terms of construction. Basically waterproof camera housing that has been around for awhile now protecting much more expensive equipment to much deeper depths. H2O recommends going no deeper than 10 ft however. Headphones are a bit AM ish out of the water, but as soon as you get them submerged they light up with sound. Almost twice as loud and a full range of sound. Truly designed for the water. There are better headphones for listening above water, but none are waterproof. Hope that helps.

Never been to North Beach yet, but really looking forward to it someday. I always seem to go to IRB 27th Ave as it is 5 minutes from the house. Wave quality not as good but definately picks up a good N or NW. Call me lazy, but I just don't want to do the drive. Guess I need to suck it up and see what it is all about. Thanks for invite Randy, maybe next time.

Default North Beach

I second Toby's response. It seemed like everyone was getting along and respecting each others space. It was great to ride with Roy, Toby, Mark, Brian, etc. That was the second time I have been to N. Beach and it was epic. I rode from about 10:30 till 4 with a few rest stops - I am worn out! I am definitely a big fan of NW winds. Can't wait for more. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Tony

Thanks Bryan, Danny & Steve-O for the info on the mp3 cases etc.

Steve-O,
That's good to know, I was planning on coming in to WSW soon anyway to check out those new Ronix bindings. I'll call first to make sure they've come in.

Thursday's forecast was looking to be good for S to SW winds, my favorite, but it seems to be changing to SE.... damn. Oh well, still time to change. It seems like the forecasters don't know anything for sure until the last 12-24 hours. I would've had to play hookey anyway.
