SUN PROTECTION FOR SUMMER SURFING

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy surfing and other water sports. However, it is also the time when our skin is most exposed to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Protecting ourselves from the sun while surfing is crucial, and one of the best ways to do so is by using surf rash guards. They not only protect us from the sun, but also offer comfort and functionality in every session.

Why Use Surf Rashguards in Summer?

UV50+ Sun Protection: This is the main reason and the one you should pay more attention to when buying a surfing Rash vest . We spend many hours in the water and it is very important that we make sure that the Rash vest is made of a quality fabric and certified with UV50+ protection, complying with AS/NZS 4399:2017. This means that they block 98% of UV rays, protecting our skin from sunburn and reducing the risk of skin cancer.

Comfort and Chafing Prevention: In addition to protecting from the sun, surf rash guards prevent chafing that can occur from constant contact with the board and kerosene. Our rash guards have a specially developed pattern to offer maximum mobility in the water, with a 4-way stretch fabric and seamless on the inside of the arm and side, they are lightweight and fit the body, providing maximum comfort during our surfing sessions.

Body Temperature Regulation: Rash guards help regulate body temperature especially on windy days. Not only in your surf sessions, but also for paddlesurfing routes, where we will appreciate that extra layer if we have to paddle in windy conditions.

Sustainability: Surf Rashguards Made from Recycled Marine Plastic

Sustainability is a key factor in the choice of products we buy today. Our surfing tights are an excellent example of how a product can be functional and environmentally friendly at the same time.

In collaboration with the Seaqual InitiativeAt Glassy, we manufacture our surf rash guards with recycled polyester from marine plastics. This process not only reduces the amount of plastic waste in the oceans, but also transforms that waste into useful and durable products.

Each Rash vest is printed with a Seaqual license number, which guarantees the transparency and authenticity of the recycled material used. In addition, these rashguards are manufactured in Spain, using solar energy, for a greater commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

Extra sun protection for summer surfing

We have already seen how important it can be to choose a good surfing lycra to protect us from the sun in summer, but how can we protect delicate skin areas such as the face? Conventional creams can be dangerous because they can be diluted with water and get into the eyes when we are surfing. That is why it is important to choose a surfing sunscreen made specifically for these water sports, and if they are made locally and with natural ingredients, so much the better.

Choosing a good surf sunscreen like this one is crucial, because it is specially designed so that it does not get in your eyes when you are in the water. Its application is very simple, as it comes in a stick-shaped applicator and you can choose a discreet cream color, or opt for a color sunscreen.

We hope that these tips on how to protect yourself from the sun in summer while surfing will be of great help and that you will enjoy your surfing sessions even more.
