Imagine if you could get the maneuverability of a skateboard when ridding those crystal blue waves. The Walden Retro Wing Swallow ($650) is equipped with five fin boxes, 2.75 inches tick will help you paddle into big waves and plenty of flotation. Just some of the features that will let you ride quickly and correctly in small waves and also huge ones that normally you could ride only with a longboard.
Finding a secret surfing paradise can get you out of technology reach. But you can always have a trick under your sleeve with the Kestrel 3000 Pocket Weather Monitor ($145). This compact, hand-held instrument accurately and quickly determines wind speed, temperature (Fahrenheit or Celsius), windchill, relative humidity, heat stress, dewpoint and has floating capabilities.
Inspired by The North Face hyper-durable expedition bags, these sandals will last more than one comfortable summer. The North Face Base Camp Flip Flop ($26) cushy bottom is loaded with foamy peaks and valleys that gently massage your feet, and the fabric straps feel great between your toes, a crucial element to the sandal’s cozy quality.
The production of the eco-friendly materials for the Body Glove Eco Surf Shirt ($90) only consumes 1/10th the amount of energy normally used in the manufacturing of standard petroleum based wetsuits. Made from Body Glove’s signature, eco-friendly, non-petroleum Bio Stretch rubber and Eco Flex exterior.
From the head of Rob Machado we have a combination of his two favorite surfboards the Skinny Fish and The Biscuit. With a split tail and four fins the Channel Islands Fishcuit ($640) has the quick-cut, skateboard-like maneuverability of a short board, and the stability and carving ability of a quad-fin.
