The FreakSneak. I can't claim to name this one, but I created the amphibious concept and pitched it to the team. This neoprene reef boot has a breathable tongue, dual layer sole, and pull tab. Designed to protect from stingrays, urchins, coral and rocks, it performs as as well as it looks, on land and in water. Also available in a high-top!
Gen II FreakSneak is updated with an elastic slip-on design and breathable material is brought into the sides.
Pioneering the SUP category, several variations of a hybrid jacket with core warmth hit the market. Breathable arms, side panels and hood kept the sun off and the 0.5mm technobutter shell kept the chill away. The pocket in the back gave this a packable option to clip around the waist when not in use.
