Summer Kit: Beach

With Memorial Day in the rear view mirror and the end of school just ahead, Summer has officially begun. No more teachers, no more books means it’s time to hit the beach with some fresh looks. Lucky for you, The House is here to guide you in your search for the summers best gear, and with our help you’ll be able to fit in and avoid any “Blue Crush” run-ins with the locals.

Since clothing is minimal on the beach, you need to make each piece of your kit something special. Showing up at the sand with some Puma slides could make you look like you’re more at home in a dorm room shower than in the surf. San Clemente’s Rainbow Sandal Company has been making flip-flops for decades and they’re a solid choice for the traditional leather look. These things will last you years and the longer you have them, the more comfortable they get as the footbed molds to your foot.

Do not, by any means, show up to the beach wearing gym shorts. You’re not there to work out, you’re there to scope babes and catch waves and anything with mesh or elastic isn’t going to help your cause. Personally, this is where we like to see some bright colors, and the surf and wake companies have been giving us lots to choose from lately. Volcom has an entire line of boardies that look like bags of skittles, and they’ve been in the game long enough to know how to make them comfortable and durable.
