Ocean waves vs. microphone

On the beach in Galveston
This summer my daughter and I spent a couple of days on the beach at Galveston Island off the Texas coast. While there, I thought it would be a good idea to take my iRiver and microphone into the surf to make an ambient sound recording of the waves.

This worked out pretty well except when a larger than expected wave hit me and nearly ruined the microhone. Yes, that’s me yelling at the end of the recording.
