Just wanted to add that this brand looks very promising.

- Lots of colors to choose from.
- The soles are made of a very tacky soft rubber, and with the wave profile they provide a lot of grip (at least on the show floor - haven't tried them on a board).
- Comfortable to get into and to wear. I hope they are not quite as easy to get out of when swimming, especially in whitewater. Then again, they are not advertised for whitewater use I think.
- Perforated neoprene inside should let the water out quickly, and dry fast.
- $89 USD seems reasonable.

Not sure how the brand will develop, but it looks like these guys mean business.



If you're happy, you're successful.

I won a pair of these in a race last weekend. Super comfortable, kind of a weird feeling at first. Definitely tacky grip and the soles are really flexible, you can practically fold the shoe in half. I feel like they may come off in rough water conditions, my heel feels like it wants to slip out just on land. Not bad though.
