2 Way Radios (Walkie Talkies) for Windsurfing

[mamero]

I'm looking for a pair of inexpensive, small, lightweight, and fully submersible 2-way radios that me and another sailor can communicate with while on the water. Any good recommendations?

I was considering something like the Motorola MS350R which come in pairs.

OR... Uniden GMR5089 which also comes in pairs.

OR... two individual marine radios if small and cheap enough. Like the Uniden MHS75 below maybe.

Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks.

If you only use them on the water and observe proper radio protocol, then a pair of marine VHF radios might be a good idea. If you run into trouble you have VHF channel 16 to call for help. But marine VHF is not legal to use ashore so FRS would be the call if you wanted to use it anywhere else. I've had excellent luck with Motorola radios, although Uniden has a good rep as well.
