Beach Pools

I never knew these existed until I went to Australia and saw them all over.

They have pools that are right on the beach. At first I thought it was crazy, but I quickly grew fond of the idea. They're just saltwater pools that allow people to swim laps at the beach without fighting waves or getting swallowed by a whale.

The only downside was in Cronulla, the waves were huge and breaking over the wall of the pool, turning it into a concrete deathtrap. So be advised, don't swim in the beach pools if it's double overhead.

California, take notes.

Seriously, who is he?

Kameron Brown: practically speaks his own language, knee paddles out with a rod in his teeth and catches sand bass in the lineup at Sano, then surfs in with a fish in one hand and his fishing pole in the other, he makes art out of Serrano chillies that he grows himself, and generally just spreads good vibes everywhere he goes. (even texas)
