Thanks for sharing the tale. Glad you made it back in one piece. Had to be scary.

...They have saved me from even bad cuts since that time. They don't last forever and will wear eventually. Still, for a near barefoot feeling with some major slice protection the FYF socks offer some strong advantages... Rick how are they with regard to putting on and off, at the beach? Do you hav...

Don't ask. You might need eye bleach after reading this. http://worldnewsdailyreport.com/hawaii-scuba-diver-hospitalized-after-his-penis-gets-stuck-in-giant-clam/ I saw that story come up today (which is bullsh*t worldnews clickbait not worth your time) and the opening picture cracked me up.

... it's quite a thin sole, what you can see is the sole moulding extending up the sides, not the sole itself, the pebbles on the beach still hurt if there is a sharp one. and the sole bends easily, very soft and pliable, stiff soles are awful no feeling at all and stick in the footstraps.

Lots of options, and I agree... as much as I hate wearing them, I hate being sidelined with a foot injury w...

Those are the ones I'd heard of. Thanks.

Would you recommend them? How is the traction on surf boards (waxed or pads)

[*]Safety Rick has these mesh socks he wears for reef kiting that are perfect for oyster shells as well. I forget the brand, but they look like those silver woven fishing gloves that protect from teeth and knives. Me, I used the thinnest booties I can find, that also offer protection. I do not like ...

@Glickster. Great shot looking down on Silverton! Thanks for sharing. Nice score.

Wow, the Quark stabilizer seems to work much better than the Revl Arc: Interesting device. I suspect I'll check this one out. At the pre-order price it's a good deal. At the MSRP, it's a pricey option for single axis stabilization. I agree that it'll be nice to add waterproof stabilization to a mat...
