Just ignore Beeline. (Bee - back to the back of the class before you scare away all the noobs)

Andrew -
I've got little blisters on the tops of my toes just below the nail from my duck feet. Is this what you mean? Sometimes they're full blown blisters, sometimes they're just spots where the skin is getting harder and callosed. They come and go, usually depending on how much surfing I'm doing.

Hope this helps.

It's OK. They go with the gills and the webbed toes.

Get something similiar,only on my belly.Little white spots..Turns out that surfing without a suit,and paddling with me tummy over top of the parkes pads is the reason.Friction from my moving body on the pads,creates those small spots.

Wore a rash guard for awhile and they eventually went away.Didn't hurt.just looked strange.Localized haoli rot

Rubber seems to be the culprit,along with friction...Bootie socks maybe?


cheers

Kage...Is that a winchells donut?that place still there

When I was a young grom, I KBed all day - every day. And I had ulcers erupt on each and every toe from rubbing against my Duck Feet.

I taped foam rubber to each toe for padding and didnt' change it for days-weeks-???. Even though it smelled bad it was worth it to be able to stay in the H2O.

It's called fin toes, I have knots on the tops of all my toes.

Like Darcy says, calouses build up.

Try surf socks w/ your fins
