I'm scheduled for a BA with BL on June 13,2013. ...
I'm scheduled for a BA with BL on June 13,2013. Im starting to get nervous now and cant decide if I should go with the 700 cc or not? Im 5'10" and weigh 165. I'm worried I may look top heavy or that it may make my shoulders appear more broad than they are? Im a 38 saggy deflated barely a 'B' cup now! I"ve had 4 children and breastfed all four also a 100 lb weight loss over 5 years, and my weight has went up and down by 20 lbs but maintained withing 5 lbs for over a year now!
It really seems much more real now after my pre op today! Im really nervous about the implant that was ordered!! Dr.s assistant ordered high profile implants and assured me if i were to get low/moderate i would be unhappy and that i would look more top heavy. After everything Ive researched it says broad chested women should get moderate impants since the diameter is larger and narrow chested women should get high profile implants since the diameter is smaller....???? HELP!! what to do...they already ordered them and im feeling like i need a wider diameter..not to mention i have a gap in between my breasts!!
Preop was today and I didn't see Dr he's in surgery on Thursdays so I seen his assistant. I asked what kind of implants they were going to use and she said HIGH PROFILE!! I just feel like my chest is way too broad for that...she kept telling me I would hate low or moderate style. So I told her I trusted her judgement. Since I keep researching all I see is narrow chested women getting high profile and I'm FAR from narrow chested!! HELP WHAT DO I DO? Surgery is June 13 and she ordered high profile implants. Going for 650/700 cc also a lift. I'm a 38 deflated B cup. Breastfed four babies!
Im really excited and starting to get nervous! I cant believe its FINALLY next week!! Is there any tips any of you can give me for before and after surgery besides what the PS tells us?? Thanks!
surgery postponed
I'm feeling down because my surgery was rescheduled from June 13th to June 25th.....thanks to my abcessed tooth! But I know its a precaution they have to take. So Monday I see the endodontist and for now continue my antibiotics!
two weeks until surgery day!
June 25th is the NEW surgery date! I had to get my root canal done first on my abcessed tooth and make sure infection is completely gone before introducing implants into my body, it couldve spread the infection to my heart. So, now Im looking for good support sports bras for after surgery that snap in the front! can any of you reccomend a certain brand or store where I can purchase these? thanks!
6 more days!!!!
I think I could use some encouraging words...lol!! I'm getting butterflies every time I think about it! I can't believe after 6 years of wanting this and canceling a BA with BL five years ago that its happening FINALLY! I'm nervous about being helpless since I have four kids although my hubby will be off for six days after my procedure but having anxiety about him going back to work...my 2 year old is a mommas boy and very clingy!! I have three other children ages 11,9 and 6. I think I'm feeling a little guilty for some reason? But at the same time I'm very excited and anxious...nerves are definitely kicking in!
5 more days!!
Just cleaning and thinking a lot about surgery! I can't believe how fast the day is coming...yikes!!!(:
tomorrow is the day!!!!
Hospital just called and my arrival time is 6:15am!!! Nerves are kicking in for sure...any last minute tips. ??

On my way to the hospital....today is BOOBIE DAY!!!

Thank u ladies!!! Yes it started with stitches that didn't dissolve and my skin started pulling away from areola where I had the areolar lift..its now 3 holes. I was doing so good I just don't get it!!!:(

Wow that is horrible I'm so sorry to hear that. My incision never re-opened but my sutures Didnt seem to disolve properly maybe that was the case for you and the skin just rejected them. Our bodies are amazing on how it tries to protect itself. I know it must not be easy but hopefully it's only skin trauma and with medication it will heal. My scar is very flat so I really can't see it but it discolor the skin around it. Has the doctor given you any positive feed back? Has this issue disfigured the implant (your breast) or is it just the skin being affected? I will keep my fingers crossed and pray for a speedy recovery.

I'm so glad I'm following this post. I also am experiencing open wounds. Although not that large, I have had several. 7 total. All of them no bigger than maybe a quarter of the width of a pencil eraser.... did yours start as almost like a blood blister under the skin, and then open up? That's what mine did. And I've had most on my right boob which has made awful scarring on just that boob! Ugh. PS said to watch it. He actually removed 2 stitches that had made their way up from each of the wounds. From what I gather, its pretty common to have openings then heals and possibly openings again.... just watch them. I would def be concerned if mine were that big.... I keep a water tight bandaid over mine each time and sometimes apply neosporin. I am 2 months post op today actually and have been experiencing this since 4 weeks postop. I hope that helps a little, if but nothing more than to ease your mind that you are not alone. :( You WILL have fabulous boobies don't worry! :)

I'm sorry to hear about the open wounds. Will pray for a speedy recovery. I have heard of this but don't panic as it seems to always heal over time. You can also share some photos and questions in the Doctor Q&A. Feel free to PM me if you're still experiencing problems posting photos. Try not to worry too much. Let us know how your next appointment goes!

Trying to post pic and it won't let me..:/ I don't get it either..sucks big you know what! Its around areola where my sutures were.

I don't understand, u already 2 months post op so why did this suddenly happen to you? And where on your boob is the open area? Where ur incision was? This is horrible I feel so bad, u look great too so I just don't understand it
- Reply
No I can't see the implant just my own tissue. Its a real let down! :( I will be two months post op on the 25 th of august. It started about two weeks ago. Right now just laying down with it uncovered getting some air from fan. Surgeon thinks it has to do with my internal stitches from the lift..?
- Reply
Eeeks! There's another profile on here who has pics of this happening to her recently- I will keep my fingers crossed for you that you don't have to get them removed and that healing will start- Can you see the implant through the open wound?

NATCHITOCHES, La. (KALB News Channel 5) The Louisiana heat can be unbearable during the month of August.
"It is too hot out here. When I wake up in the morning I just melt. Just off top, it makes no sense to be this hot. It is bearing down on us today man it makes no sense," said Keland Johnson.
"It is a struggle every day. You know last year I had up to probably six IV bags," said Blayne Cole.
Fall camp can be a dangerous time for football players across the country.
According to the NCAA 96% of all football heat illnesses occur during the month of August.
The training staff at Northwestern State University is taking steps to help keep their players safe from the heat of summer.
"If the temperature and the humidity are over 150 we know we need to be real careful. Because it really will take a toll on your body. Our goal is to keep our players safe throughout camp and throughout the rest of the season," said Jason Drury.
NSU Head Football Coach Jay Thomas says his team's approach to practice includes keeping a close eye on the temperature.
"Pre hydration is always the key and man out here we tell the guys in the drills get water whenever you need it. We have been very fortunate this far that we have not had any issues with the heat," said Jay Thomas.
As practices continue in the Louisiana heat, Demon football players say they appreciate the coaching staff keeping their health and safety in mind.
"They are taking care of us. We are getting out here, we are getting our work done, these are the best practices we have ever had. We are being taken care of. Coach Thomas and his staff, they are doing everything they can to help us out," said Blayne Cole.

Narrow your search
The new 808 over-the-ear headphones announced at CES 2013 from Voxx promise to give you studio quality at a reasonable price.
Even if you're only interested in its sharp, innovative camera, the Nokia 808 PureView's weak Symbian Belle OS and slower processor make it a questionable investment considering the price, especially since Symbian's days are numbered.
The Nokia 808 PureView was an immediate hit at Mobile World Congress in February, for one reason and one reason alone: its jaw-dropping 41-megapixel camera commanded attention.
A 41-megapixel camera lens is the Nokia 808 PureView's biggest draw.
Nokia's unlocked Symbian phone would be an odd choice for most Americans, but the stunning camera demands notice.
Some new footage taken with Nokia's 41-megapixel camera phone shows just how much quality can be squeezed out of a smartphone.
Nokia's 808 PureView has an extra-large camera sensor and some fancy settings. Here it squares off against the iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3.
The Nokia 808 PureView and its 41-megapixel camera won't be offered by any UK networks. If you want one, you'll need to pay a pile of cash.
Nokia's 41-megapixel 808 PureView is up for pre-order now, but will cost you half a grand to acquire.

Small Business Grants For Hiring Youth and Grads
By Mark Swartz
Canadian Workplace Specialist
Thinking of bringing aboard a youthful new employee – for an Internship, summer or full-time job – but worried about the expense? Help may be available to lower your hiring costs. Our government is encouraging employment for youths and recent grads by offering funding programs for employers.
These programs come in the form of financial incentives (read: cash) that subsidize salary or training expenses. There are also tax credits and Internship assistance being offered. Here are some of the more popular funding programs offered on a national basis in Canada.
Aboriginal Affairs
- Youth Employment Strategy
Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) delivers two programs under the First Nations and Inuit Youth Employment Strategy.
First Nations and Inuit Summer Work Experience Program
supports initiatives to help First Nations and Inuit youth acquire skills, prepare for full-time employment and earn income to support post-secondary education, through summer work experience.
First Nations and Inuit Skills Link Program
supports initiatives that help First Nations and Inuit youth acquire essential employability and job-related skills, and to learn about job and career options, to prepare them for employment and career development.
Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit (AJCTC)
A non-refundable tax credit equal to 10% of the eligible salaries and wages payable to apprentices in respect of employment. The maximum credit an employer can claim is $2,000 per year for each eligible apprentice. If your business hires an "eligible apprentice", you qualify to claim the credit.
Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program
CSJ is a Government of Canada (
Service Canada
) initiative that provides funding to help small businesses with 50 or fewer employees create summer job opportunities for students. It is designed to focus on local priorities while helping both students and their communities. If your company qualifies, it is eligible for up to 50 percent of the provincial/territorial minimum hourly wage. Qualifiying students are 15 to 30 years of age.
Career Focus Wage Subsidy Program
The Career Focus program provides funding for employers to offer post-secondary graduates opportunities to gain career-related work experience.
Service Canada delivers the following components:
National Career Focus
– provides financial assistance to employers and organizations to deliver projects that are national in scope to provide post-secondary graduate youth with work experiences within Canada.
Regional Career Focus
– is administered through a network of regional/local offices located across the country. These projects provide financial assistance to employers and organizations to deliver projects at the regional and local levels.
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada delivers the following component:
Sectoral Youth Career Focus
– provides financial support to
National Sector Councils
and other cross-sectoral organizations. These organizations in turn develop work experience opportunities for post-secondary graduates. For instance, the
BioTalent Canada Career Focus Program
helps subsidize the salaries of new grads in bio-science industries to a maximum of $10,634 for up to 12 months.
Small Business Internship Program (SBIP)
Seeks to improve the competitiveness of Small Business by supporting companies to actively market on-line and improve their competitiveness with e-business practices and technologies.
Your firm will receive financial support towards the employment of post-secondary students who will work on e-business projects. The Government of Canada will reimburse up to 75% of the eligible wages and related expenses such as statutory employee benefits, to a maximum of $10,000. Your firm is responsible for covering other expenses such as fringe benefits and overhead costs. Support will be available for twelve weeks.
Young Canada Works (YCW)
Canadian Heritage
Does your company design cultural products for the Internet? Do you own a growing Canadian business looking to add language-based services to its list of capabilities? Or are you an arts promoter looking to showcase Canada's heritage abroad? Young Canada Works helps your company by tapping into Canada's energetic and enthusiastic employment pool thanks to YCW wage subsidies.

Youth Employment Strategy
National Research Council of Canada
This program provides financial assistance to innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in Canada to hire post-secondary science, engineering, technology, business and liberal arts graduates. Graduates work on innovative projects within the small and medium-sized enterprise environment and may participate in research, development and commercialization of technologies.
The maximum contribution is $30,000 towards the salary costs of a post-secondary graduate. The small and medium-sized enterprise is responsible for other expenses such as fringe benefits and overhead costs

If I were a client, I would hardly deal with a company or individual who cannot afford modern computing equipment. If you can run Photoshop, you can test ASP.NET.
But you are right, Linux (not necessarily Open Source in general) uses computer resources more "efficiently". But as Harry pointed out earlier, if something needs more performance, throw hardware at the problem, since hardware is incredibly cheap.

In tomorrow's AJC I have a review of The Georgia Pine, sister restaurant to Local Republic. I gave it a grade of 1 star.
The Georgia Pine is among the first to offer Lawrenceville a taste of chef-driven fare made with mindfully sourced ingredients, as well as craft beer, in a sleek, current space.
Yet, it has struggled to earn the trust of area residents with unfamiliar dishes like octopus with pickled ginger and rabbit with raisin jus.
The process is further complicated by awkward servers who don't quite have restaurant rhythm, and the kitchen's consistency issues as it tries to push the envelope with varying degrees of success.
The restaurant should shift its focus to what it does best — preparing approachable sandwiches and small plates for customers to pair with craft beer.
Your best option will be the honey pork and greens sandwich ($9). Take a Cuban roll, stuff it to bursting with honey-laced, slow-braised pork and red-peppered-collards and leave it soft so that the pork and collard juices just begin to seep in. There you have the best bite on the menu.
I hope the neighborhood will join in for the ride until The Georgia Pine hits its stride, and maybe more independent restaurants will follow.
Subscribers can read the full review on myajc.com.

By far, the BEST restaurant in the Shoppes! Refreshing in that it is not another boring "chain" restaurant. Delicious, clean food, decent wine selection.

I've had that Honey Pork/Greens Cuban and it was EXCELLENT! Took home half and ate the rest for lunch the next day. Also, I had the brussel sprouts with bacon as a side–but that could have been my entree, I loved it so much. Good for Lawrenceville!

Eaten here twice- wish I could have the money and time back.
Service is bad, bartenders couldn't mix cement, and those dishes are far too complex for whoever's back there making them.
Novel? Yes, for Lilburn. Good? Nope.

This was not a restaurant review but a commentary on the patrons of Georgia Pine and its sister establishment, the Local Republic. Jenny Turknett concludes the area folk are not ready for prime time as they are in Atlanta and, therefore, should be offered more red-neck fare (she doesn't say that, but there's certainly that implication) such as sandwiches and beer. Her beer suggestion: Jailhouse Misdemeanor Ale. Of course, rednecks love the grease that comes off the chicken sandwich. She doesn't stop there; she awards 'grease points' to us Lawrenceville diners. She's keeping a lifetime score of those points we earned. Should visit her website sometime and see if this is just her yarn.
I've been to both places and have enjoyed their offerings and the ambience.
February 25th, 2014

I frequent The Georgia Pine. The food is by far the best in the area!! It's a welcome refreshing restaurant. They have daily specials that are not on the menu which always shine. Perhaps you should give it another try!

WBA middleweight title fight between Gennady Golovkin (21-0) vs Lajuan Simon (23-3-2).
For some reason, it's always funny to see someone getting knocked out exactly when the commentators are talking about how he has never been stopped. The commentators usually sound pretty lost after it happens…
Wooh! That left hand was mighty.
AAAYY-OOOOOOOO!! I've been away from boxing for awhile now, but I don't remember all the suits and ties in the crowd. I guess all the 'average Joes' have left boxing for mma lol.
…and whats with Golovkin's corner man? Was that one of Sadd am's leftover body-doubles???
…all jokes…jeez, lighten-up!
Wheeeeeeewwwwww! now that's boxing.
move aside Abraham new king is coming
Hey Bruno, are you betting on Machida? What are your thoughts?
Bruno: Would love to see Machida win but I don't see that happening.
LOL. I actually thought this was fake to start because the camera angles combined with Golovkin's weird suit made it look as if Simon was 3x the size of Golovkin. Once they met in the centre of the ring I finally realized that they were the same approximate size. Golovkin seemed to be very poised in there and didn't have any problem avoiding Simon's punches. I would definitely need to see Golovkin fighting a faster/stronger/more powerful/overall better fighter than Simon to get a true gauge on his level of skill.
I didn't think he would either. Thanks for the response Bruno.

In her opening remarks, Wisconsin Technical College System (WTCS) president Morna Foy recognized her team for gathering the System-level group of technical colleges and partners, who have been working with employers to create Career Pathways in high-demand sectors. These pathways help address the skills gap by expanding the pool of skilled workers for Wisconsin's employers by providing educational credentials and lifelong learning opportunities for individuals.
"Our colleges are unique in their ability to partner with employers to establish and refine education and training needs," Foy said. "This event is about continuous improvement and leveraging our ability to highlight the most promising, replicable aspects of our work," Foy added.
The event drew about 200 attendees, largely consisting of academic deans and other representatives from the 16 technical colleges, as well as System-level experts in program design and student supports. Also in attendance were leaders from the Department of Workforce Development, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), several local Workforce Development Boards, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and national policy groups. In addition to career pathways, topics included best practices in assessing prior learning, introducing performance funding, leveraging federal grants to further state goals, and fostering entrepreneurship.
DWD Secretary Reggie Newson said, "As one of the states selected for the Shifting Gears initiative, Wisconsin is among the top states to demonstrate the greatest results since the Joyce Foundation's funding for the Career Pathways effort began in 2007. Under Governor Walker's comprehensive workforce development agenda, Wisconsin is poised to continue setting an example for other states by leveraging successful collaborations with the technical college system and many other workforce partners across the state."
WEDC Chief Operating Officer Ryan Murray, who spoke to the group said, "The number one natural resource in the world is people. We don't have as many people as some countries, and our workers can't always compete with the low-wage jobs often found overseas. We have no choice but to train our workers to be the best in the world in order to remain globally competitive. Wisconsin has always led the nation in the reputation of our workforce, and through the work of this key partnership we will continue to lead and grow."
Julie Strawn, a senior fellow at the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), a Washington, D.C.-based policy and research organization focused on education and work, praised the group's results in addressing Wisconsin's workforce needs. "The progress you've made is huge," Strawn said. "Wisconsin is a national leader in developing career pathways that address employers' skills needs."

Can we "Survive" Romero's latest zombie "film"?
Think you've seen it all in a zombie film my friends? Well think again! The red band trailer for George A. Romero's next film "Survival of the Dead" is up and running and guess what? It's got a zombie on a horse! Yes the clip is short and you don't get to enjoy the zombie horse riding in all its horse glory but still it's pretty exciting. I almost like the fact that you don't see the horse. Maybe it's a zombie horse? I don't know, the possibilities are really endless. I need to calm down.
Do you like zombie movies? Sure we all do. But what about a zombie cartoon? Oh crap you just got a semi didn't you! Well "A.D." is just that my friends. Directed by Ben Hibon who brought you the animated film "Codehunters" and produced by Bernie Goldmann who gave the world "300" and "Soul Man". Yeah, the 80's film where C. Thomas Howell pretends to be black, that guy.
The film is still in development so no release date has been set. For now you'll have to settle for the teaser below.
I don't understand one word in the "Dead Rising" trailer, well other than when they say "Dead Rising" but the rest is completely lost on me. What I do know is that the film is based on the much loved video game and it'll be hitting Xbox 360's marketplace sometime in the near future. I have no idea what language the final product will be in but from the looks of things a terrible voiceover isn't really going to hurt anything.
Here's the poster for "Outpost II", the sequel to the direct-to-DVD hit "Outpost" (2008). The sequel follows members of a NATO taskforce, who are sent to Eastern Europe to confront what they eventually realize is a modern day, undead Nazi battalion brought to life by an escaped war criminal from WWII. The artwork is pretty great, but it would take a *special* kind of horror fan to have this hanging on their wall. I'm not sure, it's just a little too "swastickey" for my taste.
News just dropped that Natalie Portman has signed on to play the "feisty heroine", Elizabeth Bennet, in the adaptation of Seth Gramme-Smith's "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Smith took the original Jane Austen novel and spiced it up by adding, naturally, zombie hordes to the dry proceedings. The book is currently available for sale, and has garnered mixed reviews. Needless to say, this adaptation just got a lot more interesting (and dare I say, sexy).
Generally speaking, a poster for an upcoming big-budget Hollywood remake isn't much of a news item. However, the latest "Clash of the Titans" poster is seriously badass, and worthy of your attention. Medusa would be proud.
British zombie fans, rejoice! Apparently, George A. Romero's upcoming "Survival of the Dead" will infect Region 2 DVD players on March 15th, 2010. Stateside fanatics, I'm afraid, may have a while to wait.
If, for some strange reason, Oren Peli's "Paranormal Activity" left you wanting more, be sure to check out the new digital comic book available exclusively on iTunes. Remember: That's boredom you're experiencing, not demonic possession.
Those jonesing for another installment of the new "Friday the 13th" franchise aren't going to be happy, as the sequel to Marcus Nispel's dodgy remake has been moved to an undetermined date. Given the film's lukewarm reception, I'm honestly not surprised.
Wells Fargo, in their infinite wisdom, forecloses on an animal shelter and prevents its owners from tending to the creatures. Your anger is completely justified.
Norwegian stargazers were shocked and a little horrified to find a series of incredibly mysterious blue lights hovering overhead. Blame the Russians, I say.
As much as your smelly redneck neighbors may annoy you, at least they're not using their free time to feed and nourish the local vulture population. I'm creeped out just thinking about it.
1993 - At a ceremony performed inside a London temple, Adolf Hitler is baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
For you "30 Days of Night" fans, producer JR Young sits down with Dread Central to talk details of the sequel, "30 Days of Night: Dark Days". Principle photography for the film officially wraps today.
Rushing to capitalize off of the already phenomenal box office sales, the "Paranormal Activity" DVD and Blu-ray have been announced for December 29th. Details on the extras are slim aside from both the theatrical edit of the film and an unrated version with alternate ending.
Gamestudio Undead Labs has announced a zombie MMO. So far, only a console version has been announced.
New murmurings come to light about the proposed "Crow" franchise reboot. There is little available on new reboots except to remind you that this isn't going to be a direct remake of the first film. Look for new makeup and a possible known actor in the title role as well.
A Queens man suffering from split personality disorder slit the throats of his wife and 14 year old son. When approached by police, he tries to blame everything on his alter ego.
Taking the term 'social networking' to new extremes, a Ventura County man is arrested for paying male teens to spit on him, defecate on him, slap him in the face and shout obsceneties at him. All of the involved teens were from a local high school, and found through Myspace.
An Iraqi war veteran is suing McDonalds for $10 Million. The claims include being refused by employees at a Brooklyn area restaurant when he tried to enter with his service dog.
1326 - Hugh le Despenser the Younger, gay lover of King Edward II, is hanged after having his penis and testicles burned in front of him for being a heretic and a sodomite
The most commonly used euphemistic definition of the word 'crazy' is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This definition provides an easy way to illustrate a point to a friend who is stuck in a rut. It can also be therapeutically relevant as a way to talk to a borderline about the merits of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Equally true is that with slight modification this definition is appropriate for the term 'dumb ass' as well.
Before watching writer/director Jeff Brookshire's violent 2007 microbudget action-horror hybrid "Awaken the Dead," I had no idea an entire horde of flesh-eating zombies could be kept at bay by a set of cheap Venetian blinds. Never mind the fact that your large, previously existing kitchen window has mysteriously vanished -- as long as you keep your blinds pulled down, all these shambling corpses can do is reach mindlessly between the slats in a vain attempt to ensnare you. Stay out of their way and everything will be as right as rain. Who knew? Not me, that's for sure.
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Customer Based Brand Positioningby Derrick Daye
The competition-based perspective of brand positioning emphasizes distinguishing a brand from competing brands on benefits important to customers. By contrast, the customer-based perspective focuses on how consumption of the brand and the category is relevant to customers' lives. Adopting a customer-based approach requires uncovering the abstract meanings associated with consumption of a particular brand or the general category. We refer to these as brand essence and category essence, respectively.

Marketers often struggle to view their brands from their consumer's viewpoint. They are so focused how they want their brand to be perceived that they can't see how their customers view it.
What a wealth of information. I made the shift in my branding efforts several years ago and it really helped my footprint in the marketplace. It is truly about the consumer and their perception.

Is there a consensus within crossfit regarding dairy…specifically milk? I read some places people don't drink milk and I drink other places how other people drink lots of milk, particularly for post-workout recovery drinks.
Is it based on tolerance to lactose? In any case, I like milk, and don't seem to suffer any ill-effects, but I'd be willing to try forgoing it if there were some solid health benefits to be gained.

Pensacola Beach is one of the most expansive and pristine beaches on the Gulf of Mexico. It's located on Santa Rosa Island, most of which is included in the Gulf Islands National Seashore. This reserve stretches from Mississippi to Florida and includes 150 miles of undeveloped, federally-protected sugar white sand beaches and rolling dunes.
With the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Pensacola Bay to the north, you can see water on wherever you look almost everywhere on Pensacola Beach. It's not surprising then that most local activity is focused on getting wet. Tour providers host a wide variety of adventures including dolphin cruises, para sailing and deep sea fishing trips, as well renting kayaks, all manner of boats and wave runners.
Surfing, and it's associated laid back culture, is one of the key-defining characteristics of the local lifestyle. Several surf shops rent equipment, host events, teach lessons and hold camps. Stand up paddle boarding (SUP), the latest craze to hit the beach, is easily learned 'sound side' where the water is calm. You can even try your hand at paddle board yoga.
Pensacola Beach, Florida is one of the top year round snorkeling and scuba diving destinations in the US. In 2008, the area was featured in The World's Best Diving & Resort edition of Sport Diver magazine. You can snorkel right off Pensacola beach or spend a day exploring the area's numerous artificial reefs including the world's largest, the USS Oriskany.
