H2O Audio

2 Comments

I was reading my Paddling.net newsletter and saw a product that would be a great one for the Wired Kayaker to use when I go on my next paddle. Mind you, I have never listened to music on my iPod while on the water. Probably because I was afraid I would drop it into the drink. I’ve done it before with my sunglasses from time to time. Nope. I want to keep my podcasts (the ones I watch, not the ones I make) high and dry.

H2O Audio has many products that would solve the problem of getting my tech wet. They make waterproof containers for iPods as well as waterproof headphones. They both sound like great products and whats even better is the variety of options that H2O Audio has. With there being many different types of iPods in many shapes and sizes you’d think that no company would make all the housings for each one yet. Wrong. H2O audio has the housings for each of the different iPods from years back and those that are on the market today.

I’m thinking that if you wanted to take the Wired Kayaker, on the water Podcast with you then you might want the equipment to help you do that. Does anyone own one of these products? Do you like them? Let me know.

I do like to vacation..

When I go on vacation my friend Peter is incredulous that I want to do active things. To him vacations are all about sleeping late and doing next to nothing. Well, I can do that at home. While I am on vacation I want to get out and enjoy the place where I am staying.

I want to have a nice room at a hotel or one of those Condo Hotels because of all the extra amenities that I am looking for. The place has to have a pool. If it is on the water then even better. I want to be able to go kayaking when I travel. I love getting out on the water in many different locations. If the place has kayak rentals or free kayaks for use then even better.

On our honeymoon Allison and I went to Aruba and we kayaked with a tour, that was a lot of fun. We would certainly go back there again for a fun trip like that. I would also like to get down to Florida near Key west and do some kayaking in the mangrove trees, I had better get a new camera for Wired Kayaker podcasts before I end up doing that. And I cannot wait to introduce our child to the world of kayaking either.
