I just got a pair of Inon S2000 and would like to practice shooting and positioning PRIOR to getting into the water.

As I believe water cools the stobes, and as I do not want to "burn up" my new strobes, are there any suggested methods for above water practice?

If you shoot them at reasonable rep rates (like one flash every 20 seconds or so, 3/min) you will have no issues. I have used my s2000 as surrogate studio strobes at that rate more or less for several hundred shots in an afternoon for many days in a row with no issues.
