Is this water proof, for surfing? If not, is there another model that is?

These units are not water proof. They do work very well. We bought four of these years ago to stay in-touch with the kids on outings, and they work very well. The range is great. Range varies like with all transmitters depending on obstacles (such as trees, structures and hills, etc.) and atmospheric conditions. In our tests range varied between 1 to 2 mile in the city and wooded areas such as mountains, and far more over flat terrain or water (where you get the best range). All around it's a great product (best of it's kind we could find) with lots of great features.

Doubt they are waterproof. Plus, they don't work anyway. We bought ours for skiing and returned them nearly immediately. They don't work well.

Haven't tried it but they said water resistant and washable. I highly doubt it. There aren't many in the market that let you swim and listen.

No,it's not waterproof. I keep mine in a large zip lok bag when backpacking here in the Pacific North West. Get's pretty wet around here and this seems to work out. A small dry bag is also a good option. Hope this helps.

Hi Ken: I'm not a surfer, but they were very skid resistant when walking on wet decks and metal plates when we were on small boats. They do get a little getting-used-to with the water sloshing around your feet inside the boot, but they were very comfortable to wear. Randy

no this phone was advertised to be as waterproof/waterresistant but actually is not (at least from my experience) Overall if you want a waterproof smartphone Sony xperia go will not be a holistic solution... Sorry for the bad news

I don't think its submergible water proof but I sweat in mine when I do yard work and I have had it on while walking in the rain to the store ,I would suggest that you keep it as dry as possible though because with electronics you never know!

It's water "resistant"; not "truly" water proof. That stated unless you have a real "swimmer" like a waterfowl retriever this is still a very good product.

It is definitely not water PROOF, in that you can't submerse it without the underwater case, which I bought and is awesome by the way. The camera is pretty water resistant though. I got caught in the rain a few times riding my bike and it got pretty wet and continued to record.

i can't really say if it's water proof because I've never immersed it in anything wet. It's been dropped many times though and has come through unbroken and with no operating issues.

Hi Felix, This specific model is not waterproof. It can't be used for swimming. -Anthony

Definitely, yes! Very efficient, very durable, and waterproof. If anything goes wrong, customer service is very friendly and will send you a new one no questions asked. I was given an updated version unexpectedly just for asking about it, without paying a dollar more for shipping or otherwise.

More water resistant than anything. I know there are some on the market you can submerge in water, but I love having a camera that works and a phone to talk on and I know you sacrifice on both of those with something that is completely waterproof.

If you are referring to being water resistant. Mine hasn't been in anyway near water. I will think it's not water resistant.

It is definately not water proof....it is just made in such a way that enables it to be more resistant to corrosion in a marine environment.
