Get the Surfer Look
Whether you're a sweet surfer or just a shubee, get the goods on how to pull off the surfer look!
Surfer Look - Look Like a Local
Surfers wear T-shirts and
boardshorts both on and off the beach. That's why the surfer look is a
way of life rather than a fashion statement. Their style is very laidback, with lots of
logos and lots of colors. For great
surf gear, check out
Quiksilver,
O'Neill,
Rip Curl and
Billabong. You should also drop by
PacSun at your local mall - it carries many
different brands of surf wear.
Surfer Look - Be an Accessory Man
Slide into a pair of
flip-flops - they're the preferred choice - and strap on
Oakley sunglasses to reduce the glare of
the sun that reflects off the water. In case you wipe out, the lenses have
holes around the edges for
fast drainage and quick de-fogging. At $250 US, it's more of a
splurge than a steal but come on, how
cool is that?
Surfer Look - Learn the Lingo
You can't walk the walk if you can't
talk the talk! So brush up on your surfing terminology with this
