anyone listen to music while skimming? poll

[bunkerking692]

I have an H20 audio waterproof ipod case that I use sometimes when im skimming by myself. I was wondering if anyone else uses something similar.

[Harry]

Only in my head.

[Blkskimmergrl]

Nope. Unless they make waterproof iPhone cases

[can-can]

i usually sing the same line to a completely random song over and over again to myself. when i start running the beat becomes much more dramatic

I've had an old boombox since I was like 8, and it just recently broke :'( but before I would blast a CD or a cassette tape if I so desired right by where we were skimming. Waves are usually so small on the gulf that you can put it right next to where you run. It was awesome

[WHBSKiMMM]

Only in my head.

Exactly haha. Hot Buttered Popcorn from the Chile section of Bearded always plays in my head and out loud when I start running. "Doo Doo Doo, Doo-Doo Doo-Doo"

i wana by one of those skateboard back packs with the speakers built in so that i can just jait

[tommygallagher]

that osiris one?

[RexSkimmer]

i always have random songs in my head. especially when im the only one at the beach

[Kyle Willcox]

it's always one line from the last song I listened to before i start skimming that's stuck in my head when I'm alone

[RUM_RUNNER]

This thread has me wanting to skim and sing. Damn weather/wind/poorswellcondtions

[bunkerking692]

same happens to me, and unfortunately its usually a shitty song or a song I dont really know except for a few words

[MaStEr IrOc]

when i was at west on friday, steve taylor was playing music on his iphone

i dont listen to music while skimming though

[Kyle Willcox]

Yeah i dont even have to like the song for me to have it in my head and eventually start singing it out loud if nobody can hear

[noahb]

that osiris one?

YEAH

[megadeth]

is it hard to skim with the h20 thing??

[bunkerking692]

is it hard to skim with the h20 thing??

its bearable. its not comfy by any means. it all depends on the size of ipod you have. I just stick mine on my hip inside my wetsuit/ neoprene under shorts. just make sure you get the headphones that wrap around your head, not the ear buds, they fall out really easily

[ghostsushi]

waterproof boombox ftw

[Joey]

mexican radio station on an old boombox- tough to beat.

[CaboWabo]

I usually sing entire songs in my head that I don't even know the words to, it's like my subconscious fills in the blanks between choruses.

[Chev]

Yesterday I kept singing "put your left foot in, take your left foot out, and shake it all about" etc. etc. as I skimmed. It's weird, but i always sing to myself when skimming, and only when skimming.

[can-can]

well you just confirmed that even your thoughts suck.

[skimNJ]

play music from my car when i can drive on the beach

[Harry]

I often sing The bronx - white tar in my head. It makes me want to run faster :) Loved it in Paulo's part in liquid courage.

[ankle biter]

What ever became of the good ol' days when people would whistle?

[Shea Benton]

"road to zion" in my head. makes me think i'm in the skimming @ cabo groovy baby vid.

then i realize i'm skimming mediocre san diego trough, not epic cabo siders.

Same thing for me. I recently found an old boombox I got in like 11 years ago, and it broke on me within 5 minutes of using it. It was a good 5 minutes of jammin out though...

[Shea Benton]

correct - "uncle remus" from song of the south....such a great walt disney early 1950's black stereotype.

[garrett850]

full of racist overtones

thats terrible... some people do theorize that disney was a nazi though. personally im a bit skeptical.

[KrisStone]

Yeah

I do this every time I skim..It sucks sometimes though. The other day I had the my little pony theme song stuck in my head for 4 hours while skimming.

I realize this thread is a year and a half old, but I just watched Song of the South because of it.

Childhood = ruined.
