WTF is that?! They can't actually be designed to surf in.
They look cool, but at the same time I feel like this is just contributing to the "fashion over function" aspect of surfing. I dunno...
It would b interesting to use a sneaker like boot, hmmm, it might work.
Fugly!!! No thanks. Maybe they will make blue jean wetsuits next. Hell thrown on a nice collared button up 2mm jacket too. Then you can go from surfing right to work without even changing.
Its looking interesting and i also would like to use it.
must be a santa cruz thing. One would look kinda stupid wearing them anywhere else
Looks like they'd be a b!tch to put on but I'd love to see someone rocking them in a spring suit... Kinda like combat boots and shorts for you 80's hardcore punk fans! definitely a fashion accessory.
pretty sure they are for wake skating and have nothing to do with surfing...
