What is this puppy:

An event for the K2 Family, Beach lovers and divers alike.

Lets all meet, fun starts at 9:45a (I will prolly arrive with the fam when I arrive, so don’t give me crap) with a dive at 10ish, 2:30p, and for the most hardcore of all of us 4p.  I am my instructor buddies will be giving a beach diving primer to whomever is new, or rusty.  Welcome to the K2  LOVE!

The opportunity to catch up with great old friends and meeting new friends, family friendly love with our kids playing with each other on the grass. . .
This is going to be a pot luck so please bring stuff to burn on the grill for your family and a side dish for yourself and others. This is K2 family so I am sure generosity abounds.

Umm, let me say again, this is a BBQ so bring sompthin’ or pony up to our Goddess in charge Amie for a portion of the convestibles.

Finally, some of you got lobsterized last time, so ping me if you want me to bring rashguards, hats, sunglasses and stuff for you (better safe than sorry).

Roland is bringing his kids, Im bringing my kids, Scott is bringing his kids, so let me stress FAMILY DAY AT THE BEACH, and us divers will try and not hog the benches with equipment.

Did I mention magic: Date is Sept 20th and official meeting time is when you get there ( woot, just got chills) If you are like me and drink until 3a and then pass out, no worries come when you can, we will be there all day!

Also, forgot the best part! Divers One (http://www.diversone.com) and BadDivers (http://www.baddivers.com) and are in the hoouse and are our BBQ pardners!

Be Smart, Cover Up: Xcel Sunburn Protection

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Protect yourself from sunburn and schedule your outdoor activities such as scuba diving, surfing, wakeboarding for early morning or late in the day. Seek shade whenever possible . . . AND wear a beach rashguard like the . Sunburn protection means sun damage prevention!

COVER UP!  Wear tightly woven clothing that covers your arms such as the lightweight, breathable and a broad-brimmed hat, which provides more protection than does a baseball cap or golf visor.

Use sunscreen frequently and liberally. Apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply about every two hours — or even better–Wear a cover-up even on cloudy or hazy days like the , as UV rays can penetrate cloud cover and burn you; you won’t even know it until it’s too late!

Wear dark sunglasses when outdoors. Look for a manufacturer’s label that says the sunglasses block 99 percent or 100 percent of all UV light. To be even more effective, choose sunglasses that fit close to your face or have wraparound frames that block sunlight from all angles.

A familiar story: “My friend was in town, so I took her to the beach to hang out. We did some beach diving and while I did use sunscreen, I ended up with a 2nd degree sunburn! It is on both my arms, my neck, my chest, my whole face, my scalp, and my shoulders. I have no range of motion in my arms. I can keep them in front of me but cannot lift them to even get dressed and having clothes on is excruciating!
I am also covered in blisters. I stuck it out at work for 8 long hours. But I came home and took a shower, and, well, I started crying like a 2 year old. My husband came home and ran into the bathroom. He helped me into the bed and I took 5 Ibuprofen and put Aloe on me, and I went to bed for 3 hours. Now I am up and can’t go back to sleep! I’m miserable!” (Melanie, Age 32)

This doesn’t have to be you. . . Be Smart, Cover Up!

This is the happy continuance of our weekly/bi monthly beach diving gathering/socializing!

We are once again crashing the paarty, so as good citizens of the K2 Familydom, we hafta bring something so please think of groceries for your self and two more!
I like anything pastries, and you carnivores bring something to burn!

Laguna is a little piece of diving heaven on the beautiful Southern California Coast. . and it is the home of the "Housewives of Orange County."

You get the beauty of Catalina, without the large sucking sound of spending $$$, large and your whole day on a rocking boat.
Also, since I just loove you all, Again, I’m going to do a beach diving primer at 10/11a for those rusty/or new to beach diving, more info as we get closer!

. . and let me make this perfectly clear, NON DIVERS ARE WELCOME AND CRAVED! This is about friendships and camaraderie with a little bit of diving mixed in!

We have developed a Beach Diving Calendar on the K2 Homepage in the header under "Dive Calendar" or just bookmark: http://bit.ly/4zuF4i
This is about meeting folks and becoming friends so one (or two) dives and then retire to a slick beach side bar for a witty repartee.
This time, we are staying at the the Park!

Finally, since Bruce Bearfield of Dive Rite is in the HOOUSE, I am going to to see if we can get some toys to demo/play with!
Any other suggestions?  This is about taking care of YOU!

Triple finally, take my number 818 982 2652, in the event you get lost, or cannot find the location. . . call me, and I will vector you in!
