A few years ago, I was visiting a friend in San Fransisco, and it was a warm, sunny day (to my friend's surprise). We were hanging out at a beach when we see a guy in a speedo walk by, towards the water. Before anyone could warn him, he jumped in the water, immediately jumped out, then ran back to the parking lot.
My guess is he was European - people from the West coast would know not to go in the water, and American men rarely wear speedos. I imagine the concept of being at the beach on a warm sunny day, but the water is too cold to enter, was completely unknown to him.
- Ressuder 10y agoAre you sure that you didn't simply misunderstand what he was doing? When you're used to five degrees celsius water in the summer there really is no such thing as "too cold to enter"...
- scott_s 10y agoEntirely possible - but based on his reactions, he was not expecting the water to feel like it did.
