Now is the time…

I bought my first good pair of hiking boots today. Timberland. Everyone said Merrell so I got Timberland.  Besides, they feel really good.  Like any of the other activities I have done, in time I will know what the right purchases are. I have an amazing collection of active gear: Bodyboards, Surfboards, SUP, Kayaks, Wetsuits, […]
