Beard woes and re-energising our love of the ocean.
We’re a household of 6 that emigrated to Australia again in 2007 and with so many
nice seashores in Australia we all the time take the outing a minimum of every year to
get to considered one of our native snorkelling spots.
This Boxing day we picked Mettam’s Pool simply off North seashore in Western
Australia and this journey was extra thrilling than common as we had simply changed our
conventional Snorkels with Ninja Shark Full face gear.
Having seen different individuals put on them final yr, I needed to shock the youngsters for
Christmas, so I did some analysis and ensure that we bought the very best
high quality, plus I’ve an extended beard and a big face, so was a bit not sure if the
gear would even work for me however was bored with the fixed fogging and
mouth ache on what was usually a 30-40 minute snorkel. We ultimately discovered
Ninja Shark and located it nice that I used to be in a position to chat to the group on their
web site, I used to be glad.
We picked the ‘Air’ in giant for the older boys (14 & 16), and the ’Air’ in Small
for the youthful ones (9 & 12) all of which fitted and labored completely. I made a decision
that I needed the newest and biggest for myself and my spouse, as she has all the time
hated snorkelling and would seldom keep out within the water for greater than 5 minutes.
So, we went with the Equaliser, which my spouse was so glad about, as
she tried all of them on, and the ‘Equaliser’ was by far the best to breathe
by. I, sadly, was not glad because it was an actual battle to get my face
in comfortably, and with my lengthy beard even with the tightness, water was nonetheless getting in.
After a little bit of negotiating with my eldest little one, we swapped as I discovered the ‘Air’
Giant a lot of a greater match, and extra of my beard fitted in, however I used to be nonetheless
discovering that my beard was nonetheless poking by the underside and sides.
Now, I had already made the choice to shave my beard based mostly on the preliminary
suggestions from the Ninja Shark group, so I proceeded to shorten my beard, till
I had a decent seal, which meant taking some off the underside and the perimeters however
managing to maintain the beard!
