I know the way I think can be a little strange... playing music specific to the tasks at hand... I kayaked today and used my new eco-extreme speaker case for my phone, so I could listen to music while I paddled while keeping the phone safe from getting drenched-and it was LOUDER! anyway, It's kind of a queer mix... the jaws theme, Hawaii 5-0, Psycho Beach Party,,, you know- surf music, and islandy stuff..I included Bob Marley's Jammin' and Buffalo Soldier, and yes, Neilson's Coconut, and it's funny how these slower songs got my heart rate over 150 if I paddled in time. I mean I was smokin' on the water... just thought I'd share.

    LOL - Jaws. That's awesome. Got some good tunes in there. I haven't gotten a chance to take out my kayak yet this year - but I've been really wanting to!

    I'm a competitive kayaker so no time to listen to music really...But good playlist to have in mind for an endurance paddle!
