The first-ever virtually stitchless wet suit, O'NEILL's PSYCHO ($329; 831-475-7500, www.oneill.com) means fewer holes for cold water to sneak in.
Stop wasting time. The AT3 ZEN fiberglass-and-nylon paddle ($259; 877-766-4757) uses an ergonomically correct shaft to maximize your stroke efficiency for eddy-hopping or trick-sticking.
Surf's up. Are you? Let the RIP CURL ATS METHOD ($100; 800-842-2875, www.ripcurl.com) tide watch help. Its no-brainer, GameBoy-like graphics make it easy to keep an eye on the ebb and flow.
All you need to start river boarding—essentially bodyboarding down whitewater—is a RIPBOARD ($385; 303-904-8367, www.ripboard.com) and serious chutzpah.
Protect your piggies on your next river trip with TEVA's AVATOR booties ($85; 800-367-8382, www.teva.com). It beats sloshing around in hiking boots or skimpy sandals.
CHURCHILL MAKAPUU FINS ($40; 888-942-6650, www.moreybodyboards.com) instantly supercharge your kick so you can actually enjoy bodysurfing, river boarding, and swimming with fishies.
