I was able to surf on thursday because my electronic writing class (that I'm making this blog for) got cancelled. I have a pair of XCEL Titanium 6.5 mil booties that I got as a gift, so I have no idea how much they cost or where they were gotten from. I've been happy with them up until this point, but last thursday I sprung a leak in the left boot. My left foot went completely numb after an hour (it's a slow leak) and it's just a big enough leak to be annoying. I looked them over and think I found where the water might be getting in. On the back of the boots theres a loop that, as far as I know, is meant to help you getting the heel over your foot when you're taking them on or off. The rubber sole comes up to meet it, and I think somehow that sole got peeled back, letting water in. I guess I'll try to repair it with some wetsuit repair gunk, we'll see how that goes.
