Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML

Your friend pushed you on to a surfboard then you caught some waves? Sweet!

One of the few perks of surfing in cold water is that you always need a wetsuit, so that sort of thing won't happen.

#20, so that didn't happen to you at all then?

Just because she was not on a board does not mean it was not a similar situation! Both she and OP accidently got their phones wet while enjoying the water!

If it makes any of you feel better, you're beating my uncle on this one. He's jumped into the pool with at least 4 phones.

#85 ...she said she got pushed in she didn't actually get in purposely so i highly doubt she was enjoying the water before she realized her phone got wet ..

There there, don't put more Salt in OP's pain. OP, don't go overBOARD and blame yourself too much. It could happen to anyone. SEA if you can get it fixed or get a new one.

Guess this would be a time to invest in a lifeproof case for possible future misfortunes when you get a new phone?

Or maybe he could simply take it upon himself to check his pockets before contacting water...?

I have a lifeproof case but I still wouldn't want to take it out in the water, especially where it's deep, like where he's surfing, and where he could easily drop it and not get it back. I'd stick with checking the pockets before you go or maybe have a plan to always leave it in the car.

ziploc bags are wonderful if around a pool or what have you.

Ziploc bags are very easily punctured. I would recommend getting an underwater case for situations like pools etc....

well I don't know what you're doing in your pool but they work just fine.

Well there are some pool toys that could easily rip a Ziploc bag.

Actually op should rinse phone in clean water since the salt will destroy the innards. After that rice for two days. Hope it works.

Damnnnn maybe try putting it in a bowl of rice. I hear that sometimes works. After a few rides though? I'm not so sure. Worth a try though. Fyl OP that sucks!
