Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Predator 5.5MM FTM Black

Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Predator 5.5MM FTM Black are made for cold sessions in fall and winter, when you seek maximum warmth without losing the instant board feel. The 5.5mm neoprene shaft effectively keeps windchill out and warms up quickly as soon as you move; the round toe leaves your toes free for natural balance feel during water starts, jibes and short runs on beach or jetty. Fluid taping (FTM) finish seals the outside of the seams, on top of a bonded/blind stitched construction, further limiting in-and-out water and keeping the shoe feeling dry and warm longer. The low collar slides neatly under your wetsuit leg for a draft-free fit without thick edges getting in the way when pumping or quick stance changes. Inside, the lining feels soft and heats up quickly, while reinforcements on the heel and instep provide extra security against abrasion from rough shores, jetties and lots of mounting and dismounting.

On Dutch water, you especially notice how calm and predictable the Predator 5.5MM FTM feels when the wind turns or picks up. The shaft rolls smoothly with your ankle, allowing you to "read" the foil or board without constant correction; at the same time, the sole remains flexible enough to precisely feel pressure on rails, footpads and strapping positions, with reliable grip on wet deck, pontoons and slippery pebbles. That gives control when powering up toward the lip and confidence when landing in short, jagged chop. Donning is hassle-free via the flexible opening and heel loop; once on, the fit remains stable without twisting around the foot. After the session, rinse off salt and sand in a minute, pat out the water and hang them to dry-the materials remain form-fitting and elastic, session after session. So you keep warm, crisp feet when it's inclement, with a shoe that grips firmly but remains light to use.
