Collection: Body Protection
Surfing is an exhilarating sport, but it also exposes your body to various elements that can cause harm if not properly protected. At Northshore, we understand the importance of body protection in surf and offer a range of products designed to keep surfers safe and comfortable while they enjoy the waves.
Sunscreen: Prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful UV rays can lead to skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancer. A high-quality, water-resistant sunscreen is essential for any surfer. Look for broad-spectrum sunscreens that offer protection against both UVA and UVB rays and have an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply liberally 15 minutes before you go into the water and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you're spending a lot of time in the water.
Anti-Chafe Products: Chafing and skin irritation are common issues for surfers, often caused by the constant friction between skin and wetsuit or board. Products like anti-chafe sticks or creams can be applied to high-friction areas such as the neck, underarms, and thighs to create a protective barrier that reduces irritation. These products are specially formulated to be water-resistant and long-lasting, even in saltwater conditions.
Additional Body Protection:
- Rash Guards: These offer an additional layer of protection not only against chafing but also from the sun. Many rash guards come with built-in UV protection.
- Earplugs: Surfing in cold water or windy conditions can lead to exostosis, also known as surfer's ear. Wearing earplugs helps prevent this condition by keeping cold water and wind out of your ear canals.
- Lip Balm with SPF: Just like your skin, your lips need protection from the sun's UV rays. A lip balm with SPF can prevent chapping and sunburn.
Hydration and Nutrition: While not a form of external protection, staying hydrated and well-nourished is crucial for maintaining your energy and health during long surf sessions. Water-resistant and sealable containers are useful for bringing water and snacks to the beach to keep your energy up.
By investing in proper body protection products, you can enhance your surfing experience and focus more on the waves and less on the discomforts that might otherwise sideline your session. At Northshore, our knowledgeable staff can guide you through our selection of sunscreens, anti-chafe products, and other essential gear to ensure you are fully equipped for your next surf adventure.
