Booty

I recently started to wear booties in the waves. The culprit was scar tissue on the top of my foot that would regularly rip off leaving a fleshy bleeding hole, especially when jumping. It's not the first time I've had foot issues either. My first trip to the Gorge the tops of my feet turned to giant scabby sausages. And there is more. WARNING!!! Close your eyes if squeamish.

Did this one on day 3 of a 7 day trip to Baja:

So now I'm all about booties, especially on windsurfing trips. Honestly, I still think they look uncool, but if this guy can wear them, anyone can.
