Nicole likes to remind everyone about water safety every summer as it’s a very important topic. We recommend the American Red Cross website and the CDC website. But we all agree that we are not super beach people but for those who are, be careful of riptides, swim in a lifeguarded area, never swim alone, be aware of weather and water conditions and swim within your means. Also, don’t be a hero (unless you are a life guard), get help so you are also not in trouble. And what is teak surfing? Well, it is when you ride the waves the boat makes with no skis or anything, Nicole advises against it, as does the CDC.
