2. OluKai Akepa Moc Kohana | $160

3. GoPro Hero4 Black With Suction Cup Mount | $540
Affix this rig to the hood of your car and capture the drama of the open road. Use it to record only the twisty bits, or set it to time-lapse mode and let it roll all day. When you hit the water, stick it to your kayak. More Info | Amazon
4. Salt + Aether Explorer Sunglasses | $600
These shades are built for going fast. The windscreens on the temples have tiny holes to preserve your peripheral vision while blocking the cross-breezes from that dropped ragtop. The photochromic lenses darken when the sun’s rays grow intense. And they just look badass. More Info
