Firmly believing that dressing the part is half of the experience, we also purchased sweet rash guards (mine is pink, of course!) 4 years ago to look completely profess(h)! After warming up with a few runs of boogie boarding, Jess caught a few waves before the storms rolled in forcing us back to the town for more shopping and sipping... [Vlog to follow].
