GnarlyNubs

If you have nasty feet due to paddling we'd like to give you free stuff! Check out how you can win Free Subscriptions, T-Shirts, Hats, Stickers and maybe even a pair of socks in our Gnarly Nub Contest!

Well here is the backstory on this one. Some guy on the airplane was making fun of Scott's 'rugged' feet and it got me thinking about the hardships caused by my own nubby toes (pictured above). I figured if I could turn this paddling negative (nasty cracked, calloused, dry, pruny, weird looking feet) into a positive (by giving away free subscriptions, hats, t shirts and stickers) than by golly I should! Since Scott is paddling with his family I had to improvise in the video - be warned it's somewhat disturbing (but watch and share with other boaters so they can win stuff too). Remember: The more views this video gets the better the chances of me not getting fired for doing this.

Contest Rules: Pictures of your Gnarly Nubs (or other gross paddling related foot ailments) need to be posted in our forum located here - CLICK HERE FOR THE FORUM. Entries will be accepted until October 31, 2011. We reserve the right to post photo's on Facebook, Twiter, the Mags, or any other of our sites and have others vote for the Gnarliest Nubs (but might just choose on our own anyway). There is no minimum or maximum number of winners it will basically be a few subs, hats, stickers, t - shirts, etc. Basically it's a pretty laid back contest (read - this should be fun!) so try not to get your bunions in a bunch if we don't pick you. Good luck!
