the AANR 2010 list
 

OK, now take a look at this list below which I cut and paste from the link I provided in post no 1. This is a list of all of the participating clubs and beaches in AANR's 2010 simultaneous skinny-dip record attempt. The list is long. That year, they put around 14,000 naked people in the water. The numbers on that list should add up to that figure. OK, so how many pics of these people have you seen on the internet? How many babes? 5? 10? Not many, right? So far, from that year I've put a couple pics up from Haulover and Sandy Hook. Thats it. But the list shows you that over 100 skinny dips took place! And note that photographic evidence of each dip is essential to get Guinness recognition. So.....someone somewhere took pics at each of these dips! They had to - it was required! Where are those pics? :) Anyone care to go on a hunt.....?

in the first column next to each location is the number of people participating in that dip. Now this is all for 2010. Next consider that they've done this in three other years, and you get the idea of how many potential pics are out there!

So, just for example, I just typed "Cypress Cove" and "Skinny-dip" into Google, and out popped the four pics below. Not great, but hey, at least its something. NOw try that for other locations. One problem is how you spell "skinny-dip" in google. "Skinny-dip" with the hyphen gets you the most returns. Then "Skinny dip" without the hyphen, and then "skinnydip", all one word.

BTW, the AANR is the place to go for news/links etc regarding their annual skinny-dip record attempt. Here is a list of news articles (undoubtedly some contain pics) focusing on various 2010 dips around the US.

I have posted a video link of the nz one on another post.

Klondike - love your thread ideas! Brilliant!

Motion that!

update
 

found some more information: The recent Kiwi (New Zealand) attempt was held at the Rhythm & Vines Festival on 30th December (Day 2 of the Festival) (in Gisborne). This might prove to be useful information when looking for pics. Anyway, best I have been able to come up with so far is low quality pics in a censored gallery that is to be found here:

(as usual replace the xx by tt)

hope more will turn up.

Since Wreck Beach in Vancouver, BC is one of the world's best nude beaches, it stands to reason that they would be able to put a lot of naked bodies in the water as part of the AANR simultaneous skinny-dip record attempt.

And indeed in 2010, they did - around 400 to be exact (or not so exact...:)). Anyway, here is a pic and there are a couple more (copyrighted) at this link:

Having this AANR simultaneous skinny-dip thing every year is one way in which all the various clubs and beaches around North America can assert bragging rights when it comes to nudity at their location. You would think that might be the case when Sandy Hook, Haulover and Wreck go head to head in the skinny-dip attempt business. They are suppose to be working together to support the AANR's broader goal, but we know they are secretly competing against one another to see who can put the most naked people in the water!! Right??

So, in 2010 - which nude beach in North America came out on top? The three biggies - Gunnison (Sandy Hook), Haulover and Wreck all had strong participation. The winner? HAulover with over 700 bodies! Then came Wreck with 389, and Gunnison with (only) around 250. But, there is a catch here! Only someone who has been to these beaches like me could have picked this up. OK, here goes - the Wreck beachers had to be in the water at 12PM whereas the others went in at 3PM. This was to take into account the different time zones and make the AANR attempt truly simultaneous. but we all know that nude beaches do not really fill up until after 2PM! So at Wreck at noon, only probably 30% or less of the bathers had arrived on the beach that day! Taking that into consideration, how many people do you think Wreck could have put in the water if they had been able to hold their attempt at 3PM? 1000 or more? Quite possibly! I know Wreck, and if any beach could have done it, they could have. So now, we must put an asterix next to these attempt results. Haulover won at over 700 bodies, but, like Roger Maris found out in 1961 when he broke the home run record, some people (mainly me!) see it differently! Wreck could have bested that 700 mark easily, IMHO. But we will never know for sure as long as the AANR rules stay the way that they are. Personally, I think they should move the attempt time around a bit from year to year to give west coast beaches optimum conditions for getting the highest numbers possible in the water. That would be fair, no? :)


Incidently since we are talking about the beaches here, Hippie Hollow nude beach in Texas, which is a relatively small beach, put around 250 people in the water during their attempt. Considering the size of the beach and the time zone thing (they would have gone in at 1PM or 2PM, not 3PM), that is a really strong showing. Congratulations to the folks there! That brings up another point: How about awarding a prize for dip numbers per beachgoer? Normalize it as they say to nullify the influence that beach size has on participation. Which beach has the most enthusiastic cadre of skinny-dippers?


KLondike

thanks for that. And now - if we are going to be digging up the maximum number of pics here, how does one say "skinny-dip" in other languages? Dutch? French? Spanish? Russian? I'll take any and all answers! thanks!

Klondike

How did i missed this??? I should have been there if i knew where to go.
The title says in Dutch that it's nude new years skinny dip. So far as i can see on the picture it was held on the North Sea coast, probably in the province of Noord Holland.
I will for sure look for more pics and info about this.
The only new years skinny dips which were in the news were the yearly clothed (bathing suits) skinny dips, co sponsored by Unox, a Dutch brand (soups/potage/hot dogs etc.) of the Unilever company. In Scheveningen they have the biggest one, >1000 people including lots of young woman and girls but unfortunately nothing/not much to see. :o
