Page 2 of 2 Profile of a Wave WarriorEver wonder what it would be like to join-in on an everyday adventure with the Tsunami Rangers? Even if you have the requisite skills needed to take a pounding in the surf, you still have to dress the part. Your chances of blending in will be better if you can round up everything on the following list: 1. Tiger paddle to scare away sharks. 2. Motocross body armor for protection when hitting rocks and being hit by other boaters. 3. Special helmet designed to save face. 4. Lycra body suit, first line of defense against the elements. 5. Diving gear for sustenance foraging. 6. Okinawan furrowing tool adapted by wave warriors for battling militant kelp. 7. Neptune's trident for good luck. 8. Fingerless neoprene gloves for thermal and mechanical protection. 9. Ceremonial cape for traditional rituals. 10. Diver's knife to evoke Rambo image. 11. Neoprene booties for reef scrambling. 12. Leather whip for lashing back at angry seas. 13. Personal flotation device in case Neptune gets the better of you. 14. Beard for catching survival rations. 15. Keen, crow's-feet eyes for assessing oncoming swells. --Michael Powers
