Surf Tips

If the sunscreen is waterproof, let it dry 30 minutes before going in the water. #Waterproof #Sunscreen #SummerTips

Always apply a generous, uniform amount of sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15. Reapply regularly if you go swimming or stay in the sun for a long time. #Summer #Tips #Sunscreen

Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. #Summer #Tips #Sun

Repair and treat sun damage. What to do: A tan may be a popular summer look, but it indicates damage. Bombard your skin with age-fighting ingredients to help undo any damage that may occur, and to further protect it from the aging effects of UV. #Sun #SunDamage #Summer

Keep skin hydrated. How: Up your regimen’s level of hydration with intensive masques, perfect for use one to two times a week. Boosters are a great fit, working best when layered underneath a moisturizer. Toners are a refreshing moisturizer prep, working to even out skin porosity. Tip: Refresh with a revitalizing toner spritz at your desk, in the car, at the gym, on the plane! #SkinTips #Summer #Protect

Before you begin, decide that you won’t get too frustrated. Surfing is supposed to be fun! It can be fun to just sit on your board and enjoy the beauty of the ocean without catching a single wave. If you’re not having fun, take a break. #SurfTips #Tips #Surfing

Use a toner. It’s important to keep your pores closed and skin cool by using a toner. Look for a brand that suits you or try rose water. Its natural cooling properties make it an excellent toner for the hot season. #SummerTips #Toner #SkinCare

Wear wide-brimmed hats, long sleeved shirts, and pants to protect yourself from the danger of the sun. #Tips #Sun #Hats

Drink plenty of water! During the hot summer months, heat and sweat can leave your body dehydrated. A lack of water is harmful to your body and can also make you crave food when you’re not actually hungry. It is incredibly important to keep yourself hydrated by drinking at least eight to nine glasses of water a day. Bored of water? Add some low calorific flavoring to water such as a piece of fruit, or opt for healthy alternatives like green tea or coconut water. #Summer #Tips #DrinkWater

Wear sunglasses with total UV protection to protect you eyes from the sun this summer. #Tips #Sunglasses #Protection

One of the main ben­e­fits of a rash guard is sun pro­tec­tion. Pro­tec­tion from harm­ful UV rays—both directly from the sun and reflected by the water—is nec­es­sary if you’re going to spend the day at your favorite break. Most rash guards built to block UV rays fea­ture at least UPF 50 for sun protection. #rashquard #Protection #surftips

Improve your heart health: take advantage of summer's slower schedule by using your vacation time to unwind. Vacations have multiple benefits: They can help lower your blood pressure, heart rate, and stress hormones such as cortisol, which contributes to a widening waist and an increased risk of heart disease. #Vacation #SummerTips #Unwind

Beach Break - The beach break is where the waves break on the sandy seabed. This type of wave is the best to start surfing on. #SurfingTips #BeachBreak #Beginners

Challenge Yourself. This tip could apply to any sport. Don’t allow yourself to feel too comfortable. Once you master the 2-3 foot mushy beach break, then it’s time to paddle out on the 5-6 foot days. You will be surprised how your instincts and muscle memory will take over, allowing you to make key maneuvers in critical sections of the wave. A little more size will also provide more speed. This will facilitate your surfing improvement. #Surfing #Tips #Challenge

When you arrive make friends with the locals; it is the best way to find out about where and when to surf the local breaks. Be friendly and open. #Surfing #TravelingTips #Friends

Scan all of your important documents i.e. Passport, tickets, visa and insurance details and then e-mail them to yourself. This way you can still access your documents to get you home. #Traveling #Tips #Surfers
