Brian (owner South Island SUP) –
South Island SUP field test review. These new boots from Vaikobi look great and have sturdy soles with good traction and ankle support. Based on our testing so far this boot is suitable for mild winter and fall/spring days. We recommend >5°C air temp and >7°C water temp. Very durable boot offers protection from sharp rocks, barnacles and other marine environment surfaces. The pull tab on the back looks like it is a bit underbuilt (reason for the 4 star review). Be careful pulling the boot on.
