When was shawnee lake made?

You don't need to open your eyes underwater. If you wear contacts, think about the solution you use to store and rinse them. Saline Solution. The ocean is just more concentrated with salt. Fresh water tends to pull my contacts off when I take a face plant wakeboarding, but I have never lost a pair of contacts surfing. Close your eyes while under water, and as soon as you come up, you can open your eyes almost immediately. The salt water does not displace the contacts on my eyes when I surf. Try it. You will enjoy being able to see the swells coming and it will improve your ability to catch more waves. Good luck

I should point out that I wear soft contact lenses, hard contacts would not work. Also, I'm as blind as a door knob, but it doesn't stop me form surfing.
