The story of Prickly Pair starts in Costa Rica, a destination for surfers and travelers alike. In Costa Rica, if you're not prepared, you can end up hurt and miss out on the fun to be had, surfing, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. Founder and creator's brother Jason realized that there was a need for a shoe that helped you get ready for such a trip to avoid getting hurt. With the idea in mind, he enrolled his twin brother Anthony to whip up some samples which exceeded the goal in mind and blew them away - Prickly Pair was born!
