Prolimit Surf Shoes Unisex Raider V-Strap 2MM are lightweight, flexible shoes for those who want maximum board feel in mild to cool water temperatures. The 2mm neoprene shaft warms up quickly and fits snugly around foot and ankle, while the round toe allows your toes to move freely during water starts, jibs and beach starts. The V-strap across the instep fixes the fit in one pull, so the shoe won't twist or loosen as you run through shorebreak or lean firmly on the rail. The outsole provides grip on wet deck, jetties and slippery gravel, but remains thin enough for direct contact with footpads and strapping positions; this way you can feel exactly where you're standing without sharp edges immediately puncturing. The inside is soft and quick-drying, seams are neatly finished to limit seepage, and the low collar slides effortlessly under a wetsuit pipe for a draft-free connection.
On Dutch lakes, ponds and along the coast, you'll especially notice how natural this Raider feels with lots of mounting and dismounting, short runs on the beach and technical maneuvers. The supple neoprene prevents hot spots on the instep and heel, while the sole provides sufficient stability for foiling or a hard carve with a twintip or windsurf board. Cleaning is easy: just rinse, pat out and let dry on a hook-the materials retain their shape even after frequent rinsing in salt water or after a muddy shore. The unisex fit covers a wide size range; choose tight for pure board feel or just a little roomier if you want to sail with thicker neoprene socks even in spring. For those looking for lightweight protection without cumbersome feel, the Raider V-Strap delivers exactly the mix of grip, feel and convenience you use most often.
