how does the mp3 go when coming off at high speed?
how and where do you secure it to yourself?

the earplugs stop you from popping an eardrum during forwards

definately do not wear one while sailing at the broadwater, it's bloody bad enough as it is

I've used it surfing and sailing with no problems. I keep the player and as much of the wires as I can inside my wetsuit, attached to my bathers. If you do have a big wipeout the earphones can fall out of your ears, but I didn't find that a problem.... just put them back in. Great for those cruisy days.

All depends what mood I'm in... but lively music tends to lead to bigger splashes.

How you going these days mike?

Well, I wouldn't use it when wavesailing either. Too much going on already. But for flat water blasting/cruising I normally have music stuck in my head anyway... Driving long disances is always more interesting with some good music.
