Protect Your Sole
Keep the soles of your feet unscathed in the water with these peculiar (but cute) water shoes. With the Vibram Five Fingers Sprint Water Shoes, you’ll feel like you’re still barefoot, but you’ll get all the protection of wearing shoes. And the thin, stretchy fabric is quick-drying and odor-controlled, so you won’t have to worry about the downsides of nautical fun; $80, available at REI.








No Borders, No Boundaries
Break the boundaries with Boundary Packs from SealLine – waterproof backpacks with removable shoulder straps. With these bad boys and their heavy-duty bottoms that defend against tears and mildew, you can go anywhere – and take anything with you; $70 to $90, available at REI and Arizona Hiking Shack.









Say, ‘Cheese,’ Even at Sea
Just because you’re going out to sea doesn’t mean your electronics have to stay at home. With the Pelican Case – a waterproof, crushproof box – you can take your cell phones, cameras or iPods with you. The cases are available in several sizes and colors, and come equipped with a lanyard, so you can keep your valuables close; $13.95 to $25.50, available at REI.
