I just ordered and received Tevas Fuse-ion in size 11, which is my normal size. They fit good. Barely any room, so my foot wont slide around much. I have some wide feet but they seemed to fit good. I'll be wearing these on Madeline island for kayak and sup'ing. See how it goes. IMO they are maybe .5 smaller than your standard shoe, as there is no extra room in front of toes? :shrug:

These ended up being a bad water shoe. They are uncomfortable to stand on the PB with, then when they get wet the water does not drain. I'd say, more of a dock, or boat top shoe.

dang! I would be worried about when it explodes and organs shoot out :S

I was happy to see this local guy take on the big paddle!

wish him the best! I started sup by renting paddle board equipment from UMD

Hey!

Glad to see another MN'er Ya if you come up let me know. Oh it's been a few months since you posted, but post up if you come! There's a handful of good lakes. Superior is okay if you stay along the coast, or maybe in the bay. But do not go near the canal, there is some serious undertow.

Damn they both need flash to play....stupid iPad...

I have perscription Ray Bans and went PB'ing with them. Fell in a few times and they never moved off my face. Love them and I use them for everything, auto racing, water sports, running, warrior dash, etc. They are also a slightly rubbery texture, so they stay on and the big eye things give you lots of sun blocking and view. I'm on my 2nd pair in 4 years.

Look like these

How does the water shoe size compare to your standard shoe size? .5 smaller?

Oh yikes! Be careful! I was in ormond beach a few months ago and didn't realize it was a big shark area until after a day of playing way out in the waves.....

Secure them and get in the water already

HA HA! thanks That is what I was thinking but wanted to make sure... So excited for next weekend

Ah ok great! north WI speed limits are like 55-65mph so won't be going too fast. I got those SPT lockable straps and I'll double check after driving a bit. So pip insulation foam on the rack cross bars and a towel between the boards should do the trick

Now when you go 2+ boards thick, the next board up will just ride a tad further back? I just don't want to break a fin.....Or do you have the tail of the top one sit next to the fin of the 1st one. I could make a sweet ms paint drawing hahah....

Done. But some questions were hard if you owned more than one model/brand.

HA! would look better in wide angle

So there are a few gopro vs swann reviews. Most say the gopro is top of the line but for the price swann is hard to beat. Here is a video vs them


I'll have to check out the oregon camera, never heard of it. Sony has a new "sports" camera as wel coming with a carl Z lens....that should be awesome. Thats the one nice

Ah here it is:

The one super nice thing I wish other manf's did, is that gopro seems to keep making new accessories for newer sports. Like surfboard mounts, the floaty, where my swann just has the case for water proof. You pay for it, but it is nice.

suction cup if you have a spot without a pad or wax on the board.

Ah okay good! I'll check the board out when I go rent it. Didn't remember the texture of the board. Was hoping a suction mount would work. The chest strap will work but maybe not great angles and the bar mount may be cool but lots of movement if mounted to the paddle....sea sick?

+1 on the floaty back door.  Saved the camera twice so far.

Ya I can see that as a gopro saver. I'll have to rig up a floaty for the swann.
