Well, no. I was surfing a WW boat at Folly Beach, SC a couple of years ago and flipped in the soup close to shore. My head was the meat in a boat-head-sand sandwich. The helmet slid along the bottom just fine, so the only long term effect was how long it took to get the sand out of my ears. -- Steve Cramer Athens, GA *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
