Dan Keown Whitewater Obsession

I am whitewater kayaker that has a love for the river, and is always trying to take my kayaking to the next level. I will travel as far as I have to so I can kayak more challenging whitewater.

Grip Socks

  • http://www.sandsocks.net/product.cfm?action=show_product&product_id=34
They sell thin neoprene socks. The problem with other products are that the material is thick, and to hot to wear in the summer. Grip Socks protect your feet while allowing them to breath. They are good for many things, the beach, pool, sup? But what I use them for is play boating. I am a kayaker with a size 14 foot. Trying to find a play boat that fits was one thing, but trying to squeeze shoes into one was another story. This left me with blisters, as well as not having shoes on in case of a swim. Then I discovered Grip Socks. These things are awesome, and worth every penny. If you are a kayaker, or in water sports of any kind these are for you.

Alpine Playboating with Grip Socks

After playboating with grip socks on for two days for about eight hours a day I am sold. No blisters. No bunching up, and No cramps. I was able to walk on sharp, and slippery rocks with no problems. This will be a product that I will use for a very long time. Thanks Grip Socks you have made my playboating better by making me comfortable.
