1. Rainbow
Rainbow sandals are unbelievably comfortable, durable, and just cool sandals in general. Although they may take a short period of time to be broken in, they will actually mold themselves to fit your unique foot shape, providing for the most comfortable fit possible. These flip flops last for years, and actually even come with a lifetime warranty.
2. Reef
You can't go wrong with a nice pair of Reef sandals. They're are comfortable and stylish, and are available in a huge variety of colors and designs. Some of the designs even offer cool additional features such as bottle openers, or hidden compartments for your "stash."
3. Havaianas
Havaianas flip flops are extremely popular, and I know that there are many people out there that are absolutely in love with them, but unfortunately I haven't noticed anything extraordinary about them. I mean, sure, they're relatively comfy, they're light, and they look okay, but honestly, you can say the same for a five dollar pair of flip flops from Target or something.
4. Billabong
Billabong sandals are generally of a simple but effective design. While they may not be the best, they are great, stylish sandals at a decent price. Another plus is that Billabong sandals are very popular, meaning they're available almost everywhere that sells beach footwear.
5. Crocs
Crocs sandals are some of the most ridiculously hideous things that mankind has ever created. I don't understand these things at all. They're not even comfortable! Unfortunately, I've had the miserable experience of actually wearing a pair of Crocs, and I found out that not only are they utterly repulsive, they begin to become really irritating and uncomfortable after any extended period of wear, due to all those bumps and crap on the sole. What the hell!

Good Night
No time for me to really write a post of any substance today, but I wanted to check in and mention that I saw David Beckham earlier today at Legoland where I work (Actually it was technically yesterday since it's 2:22 a.m. right now). There were a couple of security guys standing around, and he he was getting a caricature drawn of himself and his son... Which must have been a hell of a nerve-wracking experience for the artist. Just thought that was pretty interesting. All of my female coworkers went nuts anyway. No, I did not do anything to try and get his attention. Thankfully, I'm not like that.
Damn I'm tired... Good night.

Wow, Beautiful Beach Conditions for the Next Week
Now I admit that, as a freedive spearfisher, I'm slightly biased as to what constitutes great beach conditions, but I think we can all at least agree that relatively low wind, warm temperatures, and sunny skies are desirable traits. Not that every summer day in San Diego isn't like that, but what comes as a break about this coming week is the small swells, which to me is a blessing, because low swells means good visibility, but of course that's subjective. Here's how the surf forecast is looking so far, courtesy of MagicSeaWeed:

So I'm pretty amped for this week, I'll probably even hit up the beach in the late morning tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to take some nice pictures to post for you guys. If I decide to go spearfishing, I might even get some sick underwater pics.
Peace out.
