lifeguards near you are sh*tting all the time. It's liberating. we used to call it a seadump. yep, when you see the lifeguard swim way out with the buoy, feet propped up, swimming against the current with there pants in their mouth, yep... seadump. I hadn't done one in years but a few weeks ago we were in indian river inlet on the boat and the stomach gremlins were working in me. holy sh*t. I jumped in, dropped them and let out a feast for the crabs. enjoy those blue crabs this year.
We call it a sea****. I've only done it in warm water wearing trunks and in uncrowded or empty lineups. My technique is as follows: 1. Untie/unbutton/unvelcro board shorts 2. (Optional if small day or long time between sets): Unhook leash 3. Jump off board and dive underwater. 4. Take off shorts and hold in one hand. 5. Swim rapidly underwater whilst ****ting. (Should consider currents.) When I was younger man living in Hawaii and a much heavier drinker, I would get the beer ****s during weekend sessions, so I'd say I was a fairly "regular" sea****ter. It's been years since I've shat in the sea, and I don't drink anymore so I can't really say if I'll do it again. I do surf IRI regularly, so I'll keep my eyes (and nose) open for d-dell's sweet Baby Ruths.

I tried it once a while back in Cali in the water submerged ( no wet suit) and that sphincter had a devil of a time opening up. I have however crapped under beach homes in Malibu in my skimboarding days...........
Do more guys do it on the East Coast hence the color of the water? Apparently Californians are more Eco-conscious. Is that why they have blue-er water? Btw, just dumped in non-oceanic water. Great thread! Cape Charles will not soon forget me! Hope you guys stay out of the jetty this evening. VB is next on my hit list.
