Dump the Wading Boots

Like to wade fish the beaches or wear your waders while kayaking... and you're wearing clunky wading boots? Where it's just sand and gravel and no slippery rocks or barnacles on rock or ledge, buy oversize Keens or Simms water sandals, or go really cheap and buy water shoes at Walmart. If you are only going to be getting in and out of your kayak, Crocs work great. Jury rig the Crocs and Walmart water slippers with parachute cord and a plastic draw string fastener. You've just lost fifteen pounds of unnecessary weight.
