Hi guy n gals, first post and hopefully the start of many.
Just after some advice on bootie's for on the sup now it is starting to cool off. Never had deck grip before to know what works best on them. Have an allround board so surfing through to touring will be their uses.
Thanks
I have a pair that is pretty close to these:

I surf in Victoria so the water temp should be close.
Only downside - they take a while to dry (and you have to keep the neck of the boot open or they never dry). Also, sometimes they fill up with water - so I sit and drain them.
I usually use these:http://www.surffcs.com/shop/surf-booties-gloves/slv-reef-booties
They aren't as warm, but they dry and drain better.
Hope that helps - and welcome to Seabreeze.
Hi Chopsup, just wear booties which won't allow you foot roll inside so use the ones with toe and velcro strap as shown by cantSUPenough, the Xcell ones; I wear the old model for years they are best of all kind.
Don't wear Lacey's model except if you want to kick Cobra's butt with it
And welcome to the happy band

Yep, Xcel Drylock are my bootie of choice for a Melbourne/Vicco winter
Thanks guy's, just been looking at those excel ones online and they seem to be very popular.
Just out of curiosity, are the sizings the same as shoes? Or do you need to go one size up or down?
Haha @cobra, are those the New Zealand booties waterproof?

CantSupenough, get yourself some booty airers.
This was my hi-tech solution, but I like yours better.

Next time I expect a pantie girl friend dry up review better than the bootie old fart one
Oneal pshychofreak split toe booties hit the spot for me.......on my second pair and wouldn't even consider anything else
Don't ask the Tassie guys whatever you do.
I asked a similar question last year and got allsorts of grief.
By the way I am still trying to work out what "HTFU" means
ET.
On boot dryers, my solution: an used computer power supply fan, some wood, screws and aluminium (or PVC) tubes:

The tragedy of the year is they've stopped making the 5mm.
