Andy replied to Bathyscaph's discussion 'Dexcom G4 and Surfing' in the group Dexcom Users"I would highly recommend putting a cord on it if you can. The Aloksaks can't do that if I remember correctly, but there are other waterproof zippered pouches than can. Similarly, I occasionally use a GoPro camera, but the plastic mounts are…"
Bathyscaph replied to Bathyscaph's discussion 'Dexcom G4 and Surfing' in the group Dexcom Users"Hi Andy, thanks for your reply. It's really helpful to hear others dealing with similar issues and double-bagging is surely the way to go. It's helpful feedback that you are getting unreliable readings with windsurfing but OK results with…"
Andy replied to Bathyscaph's discussion 'Dexcom G4 and Surfing' in the group Dexcom Users"For windsurfing I found it too unreliable in the water. Numbers were all over the place, and it was a pain to keep track of it. It just worth the risk of loosing it when it's not even functioning well. I just come in every 30-60 minutes and…"

Dexcom G4 and Surfing
I just thought I'd throw out some information for anyone who might be interested in using the G4 while surfing or swimming in the ocean. For me, surfing is really the number one place I'd prefer not to have a low. Even when surfing with friends, you are still mostly alone when you are in the water; well except for the sharks. The G4 has, so far, been kind of a mixed bag when it comes to surfing but here is what I've found. Hopefully it is helpful to someone else.First, the receiver isn't…See More

Ever since being diagnosed with Type I a couple of years ago I've committed to incorporating it into my artwork somehow. Haven't figured it all out just yet but I'd like to do something that helps kids and those newly…"

hey,
so sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I grew up in Southern California. My home town break was Manhattan Beach. Spent many years in the water there. Really miss it. I'd go out and not touch the beach for 5 sometimes 6 hour stretches. I was never the thrasher kind of surfer, mostly looked for curls and tubes, but there is nothing quite like bein out on the water.

- Ooooohhh....computer illustrator! I illustrate, but the old fashion way :)
Long long ago, not too far away in the land of "Before-Computers", I graduated from university with an arts degree. Graphic Design and Illustration were my majors. I lived in a large city, and was in the field for nearly a decade before we started a family. At that point we lived in a smaller centre, and when we had our daughter in '84, I began working part time. When our son arrived 2 years later....I decided to stay home and freelance. That's when computer graphics kicked in. Freelancing in graphic design became redundant...as I couldn't compete speed wise with a computer. Had I remained with the agency I was with...they would have continued to upgrade me. I continued to do freelance illustrations...but also persued education as a supplement. Now, illustration is a supplement and pass time, while teaching is at the forefront. I'm fine with the choice (now), as I find it less demanding and less stressful.
Delighted to be counted as a friend :)
