7 & 5/8
September 9th, 2009 at 3:44 pm
The atlantic ocean. many days and nights spent there, first time skinnydipping and sex on the beach. That should be worthy of something ! lol

Lake Karachay located in the Ural Mountains in western Russia.
Why? Because it’s been called the most polluted place on the planet. Over the years, it’s been pumped full of radioactive waste that it gives off enough radiation to kill a human in less than an hour. Currently the entire lake is covered by a layer of concrete.
But, just like Sean Connery in The Rock, no prison can hold Lake Karachay. It could still leak into the Arctic Ocean, and send its radioactive load halfway around the globe.
Lake Karachay wants to fucking kill you and me and everyone else in the world, and nothing can stand in its way.
September 9th, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Yachts on the reg, nautical theme on the reg, Neiliyo people skills on the reg, New Era on the reg!
September 9th, 2009 at 3:45 pm

7 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Lake Travis ATX on the reg, short term memory loss on the reg!
September 9th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
7-5/8 on Lake Travis in Austin, because it’s in Austin yo! fifteen minutes from my favorite dance parties.
September 9th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Lake Ontario because I have to drive by that smelly ass excuse of a lake every day.
Hat Size: 7 1/2″
September 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
nothing like the good ol’ Hudson’s Bay!! Basically the reason stores exist
September 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
The Dardenelles. First because of the strange case. Is there more than one Dardanelle? There could be, apparently the water flows in two directions! There’s an above current and a below one. Is each a a Dardanelle?
Second, because of their/its? proximity to both the Black and Aegean Seas, and the Sea of Marmara, which need no further introduction-that’s three seas!
Third, because Winston Churchill really fucked up there in 1915.
My hat size is 7 1/2 I think. I have a big head, any phrenologists care to comment?
September 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Gulf of Mexico…grew up in South Texas amidst all the “which coast was better”/East -vs- West beef and was proud to represent the “third coast”. Lots of neglected music going on in the midwest and south and glad it’s finally getting some shine. Not to mention that it’s actually warm enough to swim in…still haven’t acclimated to the frigid Atlantic.
September 9th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Love Lake Travis in Austin. Always a good time to go and always a good time to be had. No better way to beat the Texas heat. 7 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
The little piece of pacific off Ocean Beach in SF, because it’s the only place you can have a bonfire in winter with 6 girls in skirts bitching about how cold it is because it’s only 55 degrees.
7 5/8
September 9th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
My favorite body of water has to be Lake Menomin in Menomonie, Wisconsin (pop ~15,000). Its soupy green algae just smells soooooo good on the hot summer days…
September 9th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
My favorite body of water is the San Francisco Bay. It’s beautiful (even though I wouldn’t trust the water or the fish that come out of it), you can drink and smoke at the Berkeley Marina (which is probably what Otis Redding was doing when he wrote “Sittin On The Dock of the Bay” there), and it’s often peppered with tiny white sails, like a foggy version of the French Riviera.
(And the view of the Golden Gate ain’t bad, either.)
7 5/8, and I deserve the hat because that hat and their records are the closest I’ll ever get to an actual yacht.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Lake Erie because after many summers spent in Cleveland, that was our “beach vacation” destination and we loved every minute of it. Awww memories…
September 9th, 2009 at 4:17 pm
My favorite body of water is Huntington Beach out in LA….that beach has some of the dopest waves!!! They are always having competitions out there!! Love it!
7 5/8
September 9th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Oh yea my hat size is 7 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
My favorite body of water is Lake Michigan. I moved to the Chicago area not too long ago, and it’s my favorite because in the dead of the winter when it’s not quite cold enough you can always count on a blast of wind (and maybe even lake-effect snow) to help push the temperature even lower. Being able to feel your appendages is so over-rated…
Oh, and my hat size is 7 3/4.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:29 pm
My favorite body of water is the Atlantic Ocean because I grew up in Miami Florida and life is not the same without a view of the ocean even if you have to drive to get to it.
I live in NYC now and my friend lives and works on a ship off the Financial District.
We’re gonna have a party soon and I NEED THIS HATTTT
September 9th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
I’m NOT telling how to live YOUR life, but in the meantime, I’ll be kicking it at the Indiana Dunes on Lake Michigan. Somehow managed to pile 26 people in five different cars and SUCCESSFULLY make it through traffic, cops, bad directions, McDonald’s drive through and some random-ass-marsh lands to our final destination – a huge and beautiful beach with NO parking where we ditched the cars on the side of the road, grabbed the coolers, and had the best day ever.
Twice.
You can see Chicago across the whole lake and watch it fade into the sunset. Or if that’s not your scene, there’s also an eerily-still-working nuclear plant at the other end of the beach.

September 9th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Fader Fort Party SXSW 2010! ATX Lake Travis has the hottest women and windy days and 100 degrees so it’s never a shock. This big ass head (7-5/8) has sailed his cat on Lake Travis and you can’t go wrong doing the same.
September 9th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Favorite body of water has to be sea of cortez hands down. The marine life is amazing and the water is beautiful and hasn’t been ravaged by pollution yet! Hat size is 7 1/2
September 9th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
ZACA LAKE * Los Olivos/Santa Barbara, CA – Gorgeous peaceful lake. Amazing and spiritual. Also the place where FRIDAY the 13th was filmed! LOL
September 9th, 2009 at 5:54 pm
Lake Titicaca OBVIOUSLY.
7 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Lake Erie cuz it’s so hood and polluted by the industrial plants, yet so pretty when it’s frozen over. Plus it turns into the Niagara River/ falls which is the dopest water site in the states.
7 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
New Silver Beach because Cape Cod is so damn nice….beach, tennis, sailing, fishing, and arcade all in one spot…oh and the ladies hah.
7-3/4…please
September 9th, 2009 at 6:48 pm
The Hudson River because no body of water compares to that joint. Planes landing in that shit, mutated fish chillen like AC Slater in ‘92, more beer cans floating around in it than my basement after a classic east coast style party and it has a view of pretty much everything worth seeing in NYC and Jersey.
My Skull Size is 7 3/8.
September 9th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Atlantic ocean! i’m from Newfoundland, Canada, and the atlantic ocean isolates us from the rest of canada. we’re a far out province, we used to be able to make a living off the Atlantic through cod fishing and other such natural resources, these days it’s all oil.
September 9th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Lake Michigan, it’s like an ocean, but not, yet perfect in temp during the summertime….
My noggin is a 7 1/4.
September 9th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Euphraties son! i be on that fertile cresent ish.

September 9th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Damn! This hat is amazing.
My favorite body of water is Moss Lake, WI because of all the memories I have there as a kid.
7 7/8
Thanks
September 9th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
My favorite body of water is the Santa Clara River. Why? Because it is one of the only natural river systems remaining in southern California. With headwaters in Acton, the river makes its way to the Pacific Ocean, meeting it just south of Ventura, CA.
Hat Size: 7 and 3/8
September 9th, 2009 at 9:47 pm
Silverlake Resevoir. Because the barbed-wire fence around it is just so picturesque.
7 1/4
Cool?
Cool.
September 9th, 2009 at 9:56 pm
My favorite bodies of water are probably the YACHTers who designed this hat because:
1) As human beings (probably), their bodies are composed mostly of H20;
2) The hat is tres tres fly; and
3) There’s a chance I could get one for free (Size 7 1/2, guys).
Keep tantalizing me with awesome shit I’ll never win, Fader!
September 9th, 2009 at 9:59 pm
The Celtic Sea! I love the feeling of the chilly mist from the sea blasting the rocky cliffs.
7 5/8
September 9th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
Bob’s Lake, b/c it’s a lake named after a guy named Bob, and b/c I went there this weekend and had to poop in the woods. 7 1/4
September 9th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I think Michael Macdonald would have appreciate this hat when he was sailing off the coast of Newport Beach. This ones for you Mike. 7 1/4
September 9th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
Niagra River. There’s nothing quite like the aquatic tor de Force that is the Niagra Falls where 6 million cubic feet of water hosts fish, boats and an heroes which perish from time to time, as if the Devil himself drops a daily seismic shit on the celestial body of brine and it reminds you of a Skream tune buzzing in your cheap toyota soundsystem right when the drug kicks but the bass fails only to be further estranged by the distant monotony of “lol smileyface”
7 3/4 skipper
September 9th, 2009 at 11:55 pm
My favorite body of water is Bellingham Bay in Washington State because I grew up on it, and now I miss it everyday that I go to college in Iowa.
7 and a quarter
September 10th, 2009 at 12:06 am
hey so the best body of water for my YACHT is the Outer Banks.
These are some intense sand dunes with swordfish Galore. Not only are these banks home to over 150 species of crustacean, they are also home to the Gungans (”Mesa jah jah binks!”) and the not-so-lost civilization of Atlantis. Nothing is cooler than posiedon, swordfish and shitty star wars movies.
I go to college in iowa too (Grinnell)!
7 1/8
September 10th, 2009 at 1:57 am
The bering strait is my fav cuz otherwise we could miss out on priceless comments like those made by sarah palin. hat size 7 1/8
September 10th, 2009 at 2:14 am
I represent Lake Rabun, Georgia. Thats where I first learned to swim, drink moonshine, and enjoy – so fully enjoy – country music. Its an awesome place to get away to during a southern summer. Its also probably the inspiration for Deliverance, but lets consider that part of the fun.
If you’d like to send me one of your killer hats, 7 1/8 is my size.
September 10th, 2009 at 3:35 am
all i have to say is… asking people to remember bodies of water is mybe the best way to orchestrate collective romantical lightly erotic reminiscing + deep sighing. let me add to this bunch. The Bioluminescent Bay, in Vieques PR. wana talk about bodies in bodies of water???? …. there it is. it was here I suddenly believed in both the power of science + magic, concomitantly (ahhhhh, a very YACHT-appropriate descrip). if i dont win a hat, no one should. 7 1/8 or3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 4:42 am
definitely the whole pacific ocean! any way as for size im a 7 1/2
September 10th, 2009 at 7:11 am
The one around TLC.
Though if I was to stick to the lakes and oceans that I’m used to I’d turf in the one out the window – the Atlantic Ocean (east side, gulf streamed up, rough spitting, Hooker sailing, Galway Baying, beyond eras edition)
September 10th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Being a devout Chicagoan, I’ll have to say Lake Michigan. There’s something about the culture that comes along with living anywhere between Old town and Roger’s Park and being a few short blocks from our beaches! Oh yeah, and my hat size is 7 1/8.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Lake Jesup, north of Orlando, Florida. Where else does boating carry so much risk? Bacterial infections, alligators, and a deep ass layer of nasty shit all over the place. It’s like the Ganges minus the crowds and supposed spiritual healing. I’m a 7 3/4 (5/8 if we’re gonna get really particular), so help me get it how I live (free). Much love.
September 10th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
lake michigan. i’m still trying to make friends with some boat-owning folk. in the meantime, i’ll have to stick to dipping my toes in and then running/screaming back towards the beach. how you s’posed to act hard when it’s so coooold?
7 5/8
September 10th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
North Atlantic, cause im cape cod bitch and there is great whites off shore.

Lake Mead in Las Vegas. In what other lake can you find dead bodies and alligators?

September 10th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
Salt Lake, pretzels would be terribly boring with out salt. 7 3/4
September 10th, 2009 at 3:31 pm

7 1/2
September 10th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
The Black Sea, Black and Full Bodied……just like the girls
7 5/8
September 10th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
Bass Lake in Cali. is pretty bad ass. If you wanna go boating, jump on a jet ski or just drink some brews and fish Bass lake got everything, and the Great Outdoors was filmed there. Who doesnt love John Candy? RIP. 7 3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
South Atlantic off Cape of Good Hope. Start point of a crossing on a 46ft catamaran to Ft Lauderdale. Currently working on a super yacht in South of France. My life is on the open ocean. The cap would just be the affirmation of this. 7 1/8
September 10th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Lake Travis Austin, TX. Always having a good time out there on the party boat, and always a good place to kick back a few brews. size: 7 1/8
September 10th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Pangong lake, Ladakh, India.
Crystal blue, menacing, peaceful, beautiful.
September 10th, 2009 at 4:51 pm
Lake Michigan, Chicago, IL; 7 & 1/8
Grew up on this lake and learned how to sail there. Also no one parties more than CHI CITY WEDS NIGHT BEER CAN RACES on the lake are the best!
September 10th, 2009 at 5:01 pm
Lake Powell, UT/AZ.
Reason being: Lake Powell is the largest man-made lake in North America. It exists flat in the middle of ‘canyon country,’ red rocks, arches, Anasazi remains and all. It is still one of the most controversial, environmentally-destructive decisions the US Government has ever made. Yet, despite its hot button issue status, the Lake is unique, exotic and living proof that terrible, godawful decisions can still yield beautiful results, even if only temporarily. Until the dam collapses or the lake is finally drained, it will always be the one place in the West where adventure, albeit with booze, powerboats and wakeboards, is still possible and, well, kinda inexpensive, too.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I like brooks…I like Brooke Shields.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
My favorite body of water is the puddle outside the Club in Rome i first saw YACHT. It had rained the night before and google maps confuzed the hell out of us, after passing cyote a few times we managed to find it. going through the doors and paying the cover unsure of what to expect. That show blew my mind, being one of the only people in the crowd who knew what YACHT was saying was awesome. YACHT is awesome, I need that hat so i can walk down memory lane whenever i wear it and be reminded of Rome/Studying Abroad/ and That one intimate show.
7 and 1/2 New Era size.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
San Francisco Bay… The way its influenced so many artists Otis Redding, Tony Bennett… the beautiful bridges and the way it reflects the city lights… The way the fog rolls in and blankets the bay… the cool sunny breeze… and being stationed in the Coast Guard in San Francisco and working on a boat in the bay for 4 years made me appreciate all of that and more. You don’t get a good appreciation for the city if your not on the water. Some of my greatest memories where had In the bay.
September 10th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Black Sea, Romania
This sea/lake nearly took my life. It has powerful tides that take 4 feet of sand under your feet at random. But it’s gangsta, you have Turks, gypsies, Romanians, Bulgarians. Donuts are sold on the beach, and the police walk around with Ak-47’s. At night watch your neck as the vampires come out to play in the countless clubs across the seaside.
This means a lot, considering I live in L.A.!!!
Oh yeah, and my hat size is 7 5/8 (got a big brain)
September 10th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Rivers Cuomo….oh wait. This isn’t about favorite musicians with names who could be related to bodies of water. Aquaman’s hand? Lady of the Lake? I’m still not answering the question.
For real, it’s the greenbelt in Austin. When it rains enough, you will find people hiking a mile in and out with all the necessities to have a good time at this local, secluded spot. Lone Star tall boys, weed, whisky, and guacamole.
Size 7 1/2
September 10th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Lake Dillon, Summit County Stand UP! Livin the High LIFE at 9G.
7 5/8
September 10th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
Lake Michigan.
Chicago stand up! Spent many a nice evening at that lake man. Shared by 4 states AND Canadia land? How could you not love it?
7 5/8 hook me up!
September 10th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Pacific Ocean, more specifically the South pacific where the water crystal clear and warm!
7-3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Favorite body of water?: Theres a pond down the block from my house, which then leads into the Atlantic Ocean. Why is it my favorite body of water? You cant swim in the geese shit filled pond, but its a beautiful place to pull out an easel, and paint.
size: 7 3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
Lake Greenwood, SC. Good water levels, good fishing and boating, and great sandbar that at least 50 boats can tie-up at and get your groove on.
7 3/4
September 10th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
i really like the yellow sea on korea’s west coast. it’s relatively calm sailing, but you get the sense that a NK operative could snatch you up at any moment! and probably have, actually. 7 1/8
September 10th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
Favorite body of water you say? Definitely the Klondike River in Yukon, Canada. Being from a big city in the south of Canada (Toronto), its refreshing to be able to go North (way north) and escape all the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy nature the way it was intended. Whether its kayaking in the spring, sailing in the summer, or driving over it in the winter, I’ve got to say its always been the most entertaining body of water.
Did I mention that there’s gold in them thar waters?
September 10th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Also, Size: 7 3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Favorite body of water has to be Lake Ontario, since its soo grimey that it almost took my life as a kid. The mother fucker will drown your ass. Not to mention all the toxic sludge and what not from all the factories, which will give you basal cell carcinoma, adding on to its thugnificence. O and the hat size is 7 5/8, cause I’m so wavy.
September 10th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
Favorite body of water?….the Great Salt Lake, Utah. The high salt content makes the water so buoyant a sunken boat could float….kinda like YATCH… they’re way more buoyant than most bands. 7 3/8
September 10th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
My fave body of water is Lake Washington, to which I woke up to for the past 2 years living in Seattle. Hella purrty view, and it definitely helped with gettin the business. Yadadimean?
Size 7 3/4 FTW!
September 10th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Gotta give it up to Lake Michigan, the home is where the heart is… .but my favorite lake is this piss pond size lake in Newaygo,MI… The mighty EMERALD LAKE where I spent many years as a young skateboarder reluctantly being dragged up north with my family to the hick hole Newaygo… Many memories of fishin with pops on the boat while I was dreamin of my city Grand Rapids and thrashin the concrete echelon… My grandpa swears there was a snapper turtle so big it came up out of the water half on the boat like jaws and he wacked him out with an oar.. …yeah he’s definitely bullshittin.. . But I couldn’t help but imagine him shittin his pants as it happened.. ..the mighty green Emerald Lake. … Gemstone status in my mind… Illdrifter
September 10th, 2009 at 6:53 pm
favorite body of water comes from corona del mar because of how calm and peaceful it is there. just feels like a hidden oasis.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
i love that hat!
favorite body of water of = potomac river.
why = because i rep. the DMV. plus its a great hang out with the National Harbor and all
September 10th, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Fravorite body of water would be the the sinking city of venice and it’s beaches in italy, the style is quite vintage and it would be a memory well remembered. i can see my self costing the water ways at sun set on a antique wooded boat hand carved with African Mahogany Wood as well as a Mohogany steering wheel all the gauges covered are in bronze to give it a gold look.
September 10th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
The Nile River because I’m on a boat to Cairo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSTHMxBttlU.

September 10th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
has to be the Atlantic. I once spent years on the water in my ship, the Pequod. My ragtag men and I were whalers, but one in particular caught my fancy, and soon became my obsession. I chased him to the detriment of my ship and the crew. That whale was the end of me and i died never vanquishing it. So from the grave I write this asking for this YACHT hat in heaven to ease the pain (fyi there is no pain in heaven)
September 10th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
my favorite body of water is anything that’s not super polluted…hard to come by these days. any water that’s clear and blue and beautiful…so far, the only bodies of water i’ve seen like that are in hawaii and cancun. it’s refreshing, calming, relaxing and you don’t worry about going in the water…it feels purifying. and it amazes you that something as simple as water can be that gorgeous.

my fav would have to be the Baltic sea because 1) the the Polish coast is the first ever beach i have ever been on 2) any body of of water that touches Sweden, Denmark and Germany wins my book.
7 1/2
September 10th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
My favorite body of water would have to be the Columbia River. I grew up in the small town of Astoria, right on the mouth of the river as it feeds into the Pacific. This is also THE SAME TOWN THAT YACHT’s OWN JONAH BECHTOLT IS FROM. I just recently discovered that our parents used to hang out together way back when. So I love the Columbia River because it is the implicit link between me and Yacht.
7 3/4!
September 10th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
I like the coast off Tiburon, California. Great weather, great boats and great yachts! Nice ride from Tiburon to Angel Island too. I would love to live in the town of Tiburon but I would have to make Andre Agassi money to have a decent place there..oh well
7-5/8″ please
September 10th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
I’m loving the ocean..doesnt matter where it is as long as its wet and salty. I can catch some waves, get all sandy and check out the birds sunbaking..amazing stuff

Been living 5 minutes from Lake Michigan for a good fraction of my life.
Can’t even recall all the memories there.
It’s one of the 7 great lakes and is home to some great stores, Succezz, LDRS…etc.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
Hudson River. It might be dirty but NYC is the greatest city in the world. I’ve lived here in North Jersey all my life.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:28 pm

the Chesapeake Bay. the oyster fishing is still done by skipjack sailboat and people speak in a brogue that sounds like Shakespearean english. it is another world, and that makes it great.

Lake Shuswap. The fishing is great there, and when I was a kid I won the fishing derby for the Fil-Can Association. Actually I caught the fish the day before and kept it on ice, submitted it the next day and was the only person to catch something!
size 7 5/8 for my big head.

The Detroit River because of where I grew up and during prohibition bootleggers would drive across the frozen river to smuggle booze into the States from Canada so that we could all eventually still party today. Besides, who doesn’t saying they are from “Downriver”?
7 1/4 Keeps my head snug and ego under control.

The Pacific Ocean. More specifically, the North Shore if Hawaii. Never in my life have I seen what the shear power of waves can do and form. I was there for the winter of 06 when they experienced 60 footers and practically shut down the northern part of Oahu for a big wave surf comp. Best 8 months of my life living there.
Hate size would be 7 3/8
Cheers!

The Mississippi River definately, it’s got so many Ss and Ps.
September 11th, 2009 at 2:58 am
I’d have to say Pacific Ocean, but by Stevenson Village, it’s a really cool place because of how ‘real’ it is. I’d have to rock my new Yaht X Fader hat checking out sharks head’s buying some fresh seafood on the docks and having a bite at Shady Island Seafood Bar & Grill all while repping my favorite Mag.

There is spot off in Willimantic CT, that was about 35 min from the college campus at UConn. It was called Diana’s pool. After a long winter,it felt like the entire campus met at this small pool of water in the woods. Jumping off rope swings, laying out on the rocks, and pushing other undergrands into the cold water.

Body of water – The North Sea.
Why?
I grew up on the edge of it; a small seaside town.
I fished it with friends and family.
I swum in it.
I have so many memories attached to it. Friends, girls…
Long summer nights with a big fire on the beach, soundsystem out the back of a van, homemade cider and bbq food. Dancing with friends, relaxing, enjoying…
I live on an island, bordered by the Atlantic, the English Channel and the North Sea. Living close to the sea enriches the soul and brings you closer to your habitat.

this is AWESOME!
well, i will have to say the BOSPHORUS is my fav.
it is a strait that will take you from the “asian side” of istanbul to the “european side”.
from europe to asia on a boat in 10 minutes. nice. and it is gorgeous. plus you just call it by its name, the Bosphorus. not the Bosphorus lake or river or strait, just the Bosphorus. thats boss!

despite the fact that e coli levels gets high and the beaches close. its close to home. memories of riding bikes from my hood to the beach to chill and have fun flood my mind.
you hop on a boat ride, go out a bit and you can see the whole skyline of chicago. there’s no way you can not be inspired. lake michigan is another reason i miss home.

The Persian Gulf.
One of the last vivid memories I have of growing up in Kuwait before the Gulf War was a family trip to the beach and seeing the infinite blue of the Persian gulf’s basin.
We promptly escaped the country as Iraqi tanks rolled in. Nineteen years later, I haven’t been back.

Lake Michigan! Cause I can see it out of my LR window. It’s only closed for half of the summer for ecoli. You can now windsurf legally in it. It’s 1000 ft. deep. It takes forever to warm up, but then stays warm through November. And it runs from the north-side to the -south-side- (represent!) in CHICAGO.

I am a size 8.

I love being around water in general, but I’d have to say the Arctic Ocean is my favorite body, though I’ve seen it so little. I was fortunate enough to travel to Greenland, and seeing the ice floes made me feel like I was on another planet. Photographs and descriptions do not do it justice; it was surreal.
It’s good to see so many people have positive memories on the water. I hope whoever wins it enjoys it.. that hat is NICE!

Mine has to be Blue Lagoon near Keflavik in Iceland where the steamy waters are part of a lava formation.
The warm waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulfur and bathing in the Blue Lagoon is reputed to help some people suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis.[1] The water temperature in the bathing and swimming area of the lagoon averages 40 °C (104 °F).

The Pacific Ocean. Every year my family has gone to the Oregon coast near Lincoln City to have a camping adventure. Near Proposal Rock we always build the largest fire possible at least once during the camping trip out on the beach. The fire’s usually grow to around 25+ feet tall by 30+ feet wide & are pitched against a huge rock to support the weight of it. It’s very relaxing being next to the fire & water at the same time, with family (the Fader’s) to enjoy as well!!!

Red Stripe, jerk chicken, fried fish and festival, patties and cocoa bread, reggae and dancehall music, peanut punch, bun and cheese, bashments, blue waters, white sand, sugar cane, Usain Bolt, driving on the left side of the road, SHOTTAS!, fat batty gal dem. What else do I need to say? Shout out to PR, Cuba and the other islands.

My favorite is the Youghiogheny River. Because I grew up right on it and look how rad all those weird letters are that make up the name.
September 21st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
I like the Red Sea because of the history behind it. The color red in the universe stands for a energy that allows it’s frequencies to seep through it, sure that’s in the physics sense. The religious history behind the sea has started wars, and just like not fighting the darkness and letting the light in, it’s also brought people together. Will we go to heaven or will we go to hell? xoxo. Size = 7.5

Okay, get this, it has to do with hats… My favorite body of water is the Philippine Sea. As a child I lived in the Philippines and from time to time I got to go on afternoon fishing boat rides. One day I was leaning over the edge of the boat, trying to point out everyone’s fishing lures in the water. I leaned and pointed with delight when I spotted the bright lures. Looking and leaning, and more leaning and, splash. My dumb ass fell off the stupid boat. I almost drowned. Several men working on the boat quickly took off their shirts and jumped in to save me. Later standing back on the boat staring out into the ocean wrapped in a towel of shame and confusion I yelled,”No! My hat! My hat is floating away!” I was wearing a sweet neon pink trucker hat which was now pretty far away from the boat. Another dude took off his shirt and swam for like 25 minutes to get my hat. I was 5. Wait, actually, that’s not my favorite body of water. That experience sucked…

My favorite body of water is The Ocean. I can’t pick just one because they are all connected. They are connected which connects people. I think it’s really cool that when you pee in say the Atlantic Ocean, the pee can make its way to the Pacific Ocean and someone can accidentally drink it – connecting everyone. I once threw up in the Atlantic Ocean when I was in Maine. I wonder who ended up getting my vomit.

I guess I’m a little late in the game, but my favorite body of water is at Space Time Tanks, in Chicago IL, which is a sensory deprivation tank. There’s enough salt in the water to float you, so spend enough time in there, and the difference you feel between air and water becomes zero, and you feel like you’re floating in space
I dunno what my hat size is, but as far as I know, it’s a Medium :\
Perhaps a 7 1/8th?
Thanks!

Irish Sea. Crossing by ferry from Holyhead (Wales) to Dublin (the joy of returning to your motherland) or walking out to it from the top of Harlech Castle down the stone steps out to the Sea. Running into the vastness, experiencing the chill of the water and contemplating the history and emotional attachment to the Sea. We are…

My favorite body of water is the Santa Barbara Beach, because it is where I first heard Yacht’s music. 7 6/8
September 22nd, 2009 at 3:48 pm
As broad of a body of water as it sounds; the Atlantic Ocean. More specifically, the Atlantic Ocean from the view of Chapin beach in Cape Cod. My entire life I was not particularly fond of beaches or the ocean, but this one changed my mind entirely. One of the visits there had me convinced I was at the end of the world. The air was misty with winds blowing the cool ocean air through my hair, turning it into an unmanageable mess. The beach went on forever, walking in shallow waters filled with millions of creatures. When I finally reached the ocean waters, I wanted to jump in and be washed away to wherever it would take me. Not to mention, the sand was perfect for digging triangular mots, à la YACHT.
+ I don’t know what size hat I wear, any will do.

Hi,
My favorite body of water is the rio grande river, specifically the section that runs through southern new mexico. There are extremely nice marshes around the area. The willamette in oregon is great because of the view you get while biking over her bridges. My hat size is 9 3/4 and yacht is a great band especially live this summer @ pdx city hall.
Thanks,
Ryan

You are my inspiration. I tell everyone about you. Everyone agrees that you are the most unique, hardcore band they’ve ever heard. We love you.
My favorite body of water is the Dead Sea. How cool is it to fall asleep in water, and not sink. Other than that, the body of water in my shower is very nice.
Hat size is M\M! I’ll email a jpg. when I get it; TTHHAANNKSS!!

Jona was a huge part of my personal music revolution, and helped shape me into the DJ I am today.
I’m continually impressed by the processed pop beats that come out of his hot dog fingers.
My head was made for that hat. And my favorite body of water is the one that forms under my sink when I do the dishes.
My head size = M. Which I think means I’m half full of awesomeness.

Every single time I look at a map or globe, I find myself oddly drawn to the Black Sea. I’ve never been there and I kinda bet it is grimy as hell, but it looks dark and mysterious on a map. Plus all those weirdo Eastern European cities on the sea have crazy names. But as far as bodies of water I’ve actually been to, the Jersey Shore is on top. I’ve lived on both coasts and been to all kinds of beaches around the world and south Jersey is still my favorite beach. But it has to be south of Atlantic City in the Philly section of Jersey because the NYC part up north is beat.

The Wapsipinicon River in Iowa has the best name ever, and it was on the banks of the Wapsi (as we called it) is where I a.) sipped my first beer, b.) kissed my first girl and c.) lost my virginity. Best body of water ever!

The North Sea (Calais, France)
When I have a sore head, I like to put an ambient / drone mix on my HD25s and walking on the beach…Aside from the beautiful view of the ocean at night, it brings me a powerful sense of stillness & calm, while a really intense combination is occuring between the music I listen to & the environment around me

The East River rises above all other bodies of water, and not just because several bodies rise to the top of the water. Dividing the island of Manhattan from the planet, this monster serves as one of the world’s most resplendent moats, spanning scores of neighborhoods of different classes and backgrounds on either side. Who dare cross?

Lake Superior because
1) the name rocks. It has that arrogance that just cannot be matched
2) It looks like a wolf, which just adds to its badass-ness
3) Isle Royale in the lake has a sweet predator-prey relationship between moose and wolves. While this doesn’t have to do with bodies of water, it is still pretty siiiiiick!

I’d have to say my favorite body of water is the Pacific Ocean. If I had a dollar for every mind blowing sunset I’ve seen drop on that horizon I’d be a millionaire. Nonetheless, I’m a rich man for having those images engrained in my soul. The cap to my soul is a 7…

Lake Helen — it’s in the shape of a diamond, & reflects light like one too. in front of you it’s bright sky blue, but a few feet away it shifts up to green, then yellow, then orange, red, purple, red, orange, yellow, green blue again all the way across. surrounded by ice even in the summer it’s also the coldest body of water I’ve ever been in. Stepping out the liquid diamond the breeze blew past & my whole skin felt like your mouth breathing in while chewing mint — FRESH OOOH.

Mullet Lake in Northern Michigan.
Reasons this is the greatest body of water on earth:
1. Umm it’s called MULLET lake.
2. My cousin got hit in the face by a seagull on a late night boat ride back from the local dive bar.
3. You can jump out of boats at 40 MPH.
4. Shooting fireworks while riding jet skis at night.
5. Each summer is a family/neighborhood reunion
6. First drunk (13 bud lights at age twelve culminating in a vomit into a Chinese checkers box)
7. You can jump into an ice cold well and then run to the lake jump off a dock into bathwater.
8. the bottom is clean sand!
9. I’ve been going there every year for my entire life
10. Just sit on the shore and watch a lighting storm roll across the entire lake until your covered in rain.
Plus I love Yacht and don’t own one. Also I love that hat.
Thanks!

My favorite body of water is Butterfield Creek, a tiny stream a five-minute’s walk from my house. Home to reveling throughout life, from the days of putting frogs in jars to the days of hiding cases of beer behind a tree stump. Source of middle school science experiments. Border of my first high school love’s back yard.
My hat size is 7 5/8.

Lake Ontario. Because it is single-handedly responsible for the insane meteorological phenomenon known as Lake Effect Snow. That’s when cold air from Canada (Hudson Bay) comes whooshing across the lake from the northwest and picks up warm moisture from the lake water. That forms a huge cloud that hovers over the Syracuse NY area (where I live) and drops many feet of snow on the region, giving us in most years the worst weather in the world. Thank you, Lake Ontario.
Of course, in the summer, it’s a wonderful lake to swim in and boat on, and it also provides our drinking water. So, as bodies of water go, it’s more than a good lake. It’s a great lake!

The cove at Point Lookout, NY.
In the middle of the dregs of NY suburban sprawl about 25 miles east of NYC is a pocket of flawless marshland and a rock outcropping on the inset of Jones Beach inlet, the locals just call it “the cove.”
Although it faces northeast and does not face exposed ocean, waves will wrap around the head of the island and in a 180 degree arc bend and dissipate into the marsh. It only breaks a half dozen or so times a year but if a surfer catches it right, she/he could be sitting in one of the most geographically bizarre wave setups ever thought up. When you sit on your board you can see land all around you, a bird sanctuary, the elevated section of the loop parkway, docks & dead end streets, and tall grass where the birds sit and the sun creeps behind at sunsett.
Thats my favorite.

My favorite body of water is the “Rock Puma” aka Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. There are few things about this lake that make it special for me. 1) Its the highest body of water in the world 2) the name is fun to say 3) I did a report on Bolivia in the 3rd grade 4) Although landlocked, Bolivia has a navy which uses this lake for training, wtf?

The anchor has always been a symbol of home for me, no matter how much I travel. That hat is phenomenal. My favorite body of water is the Indian Ocean off the coast of Mozambique. The most divine coastline I have ever seen in my life with a juxtaposition of coral reef and warm crystal clear water lining a thick carpet of palm trees. I dj’d there Christmas of 2004 and will never forget the adventures that took place, and the coral reef scars to remind me.
Hat Size: I will take any size. I’ll change my hair to make it work.

Lake Erie
Only Great Lake with a dead zone. Every summer the beaches teem with dead fish and drunk 19 year olds (Canadian side). Windsurfing’s clutch. Plus the incredibly underrated city of Buffalo is nestled up next to it. There’s some kick ass windmills too, and we can’t forget about the massive Lake Effect snowfalls.
December 4th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
the biggest size you got! an 8 would be ideal but a 7 5/8 would also be fresh!
psychic city just blew out 2 speakers in my car last week!!!
December 4th, 2009 at 9:19 pm
My favorite body of water would have to be the San Francisco Bay. There’s plenty of fun things floating around in there – not limited to – sea lions, dead bodies of Alcatraz attempted escapees and golden gate bridge jumpers, senior citizen polar bear club members in speedos, and crabs! It’s a total blast to sail to McCovey Cove outside of AT&T park and try to catch a steroid aided Barry Bonds splash hit! Did I mention we have sea lions? RADICAL!
I wear a 71/2 or 7 5/8 depending on how much hair I have at the time. I’d be happy with either.

my favorite body of water is the bodensee, or lake constance in english. it lies between germany, austria and switzerland at the foot of the alps. the cities and towns that dot it’s shore are beautiful. but what is most remarkable about the bodensee is that it is the only place in the world where you can watch the sunset paint the alps gold, while sitting on a tropical island, eating oranges picked fresh off the tree. it is amazing. this hat, though, would make it just a wee bit better.
my hat size is 7 1/4.

I would have to say the Florida Gulf is one of the illest spots during summer. I hitch-hiked down the east coast and ended up on the south side of Key West. I have some great memories of being there and all the great people that celebrated my birthday there on the beach, that was also my home at the time. LOL!
This hat would be a great sentiment to that memory and time in my life. I rock a 7 3/4 fit. Thanx for the time.
