I am most often the only guy at my break. What is with the furry boots?

Not needed in Hawaii, Ugh boots, originally where an Australian turned a sheep,inside out and wore it on their feet. Winter surf obligatory wear,
Much needed. Replaced in summer by what Aussie call thongs ( translated to U.S.A flip flops, NZed jandals again for the US, Japanese sandals)
So when you hear of Aussie surfers wearing thongs think lower than you would now!
Recently replaced in 4WD foot terrain by crocs, less toe damage but more small gravel entry underfoot, also safer from venomous snake attack strikes.

Aleeve for pain. ( notice the NON-Child resistant cap, so easier to open with frozen stiff fingers )

Kills the pain, helps with sleep, stimulates appetite . . . but doesn't mix well with posting to the forum :lol:

Glad u went there before I did :lol:

Occasionally you’ll see one old timer show up in his lava lava and clear the tourists out of the entry point after he strips down to his malo. Me and my buddy crack up when we see this, of coarse this is after we’re well into our pre session paka routine haha. OMS, you’re the only one out there on a break...your not wearing a malo by chance?? Jk :lol: :lol:
