- I tried them for windsurfing Friday and it was just too wierd.
The plugs selectively filter out noise, I could hear people talking
just fine, but higher pitch noises were filtered out. They did affect
my balance to start with, but I got used to it after a few minutes.
- Sailing was really strange. I could not hear alot of the noise of
the board slapping through the chop, so I felt like I was not going
as fast as usual. Jumping was okay, but I felt a little detached.
It was like walking around when you have a fever. They definitely keep
the water out of your head, but after about 15minutes, I decided that
it wasn't worth it.
