The Eena Project |
| Need a place to stay??? Check out these houses on The Outer Banks. The owners and rental companies are wonderful! |
The Eena Project was created to educate others on rip currents and other beach related hazards. In September of 2006, Kristina (Eena) Koles drowned as a result of a rip current on The Outer Banks. She was our daughter, sister, aunt, sister-in-law, and friend. Education is key and we do not want any other families to experience the tragedy we had that day. Please use this site and the links to educate your family. |
The Eena Project is a non profit group that provides education for beach communities. In order to do so, we are funded by those that donate. We have several items that we will send to those to thank you for your help. DONATE |

Rip Current Escape If you are caught in a rip current, you will feel like you are being pulled out further. STAY CALM You will not be able to swim directly back to shore. Instead SWIM PARALLEL Until you are out the rip current and swim diagonal back to shore |
