Elizabeth O'Conner has run a Paddlesport show on Long Island NY in about April for the past few years. I've been able to give my cold water talk there for the past two years. A fellow whose name I don't know sells and repairs drysuits and has given the talk on cold water clothing. He is also a diver and a paddler. He uses swim fins for diving. Last year he told us about taking his swim fins everywhere he goes when paddling because, when swimming in drysuit and pfd, the fins allow him to power through the water with speed and efficiency-- the ideal emergency, get yourself to safety, means of escaping a bad day! Someone else commented on this idea in the last few posts!
