[cool]That helium-filled craft offers some possibilities. You would have to hang some ballast off the side of the craft to keep it on the water going out. Then, coming bac k in, you could drop enough ballast to let you hover over the waves and then just turn on your portable electric fan to propel you toward shore. Only two potential problems. One would be a strong offshore breeze. Two would be how to get back down to the beach. I guess you could cast down and hook onto a bikini and reel yourself down. But, that could present a whole new set of problems once you got within range of the hookee.
But, just think if you saw a great white coming toward you. You would likely drop enough "ballast" yourself to raise the tube out of the water. That is, if you still cut those holes in your waders to release toxic fumes. This is getting kinda gross.
