Sunscreens What You Need To Know

With summer just around the corner here in Australia , here is some information that may change the way you look at sunscreen .

We all use copious amounts of zinc and sunscreen , do we take any notice of the ingredients ? Some chemicals we rub onto are skin are actually harmful to ourselves and the oceans and reefs. 

Oxybenzone, do you know what that is ? Well read on to learn what it is and how it could be doing you harm

We've all learned the hard way that spending too much time in the sun can create some pretty traumatizing effects. While researching for the 2013 sunscreen guide, The Environmental Working Group found a lot of surprising, and somewhat disheartening, information. Only 25% of sunscreen products on the market offer strong protection with limited safety concerns. Most sunscreens do not filter skin-damaging rays safely or effectively. Because FDA standards in America are not the strongest, more than half of the sunscreen products sold in the US could not be sold in Europe. Some chemical sunscreens contain Endocrine disruptors, which can cause the abnormal development of fetuses and possibly even lead to prostate cancer. Disturbed? Us too…

Dimensions are 6'2 by 19 1/2 by 2 5/8 , 34 litres of blend goodness, right there.

Tropical Bliss

Brent "The Savy" Savage has been scoring some fun uncrowded waves in the Maldives.

Brent comments:

 Waves have been 6ft + and crazy for 2 days. SO many Barrels. I have mainly been riding my new “SAVAGE” model but today I rode the Blend as a 4 fin in some solid 6ft waves and it was amazing how much bite and hold it had. An amazing all rounder.

Iceland

Pete commented;

Just thought I would drop you an quick email – Really enjoying the 5’8 I bought of you a month ago. Starting to get it dialled in now, 3-4ft punchy beachbreaks – its all over it! Thanks again for taking the time to show me the factory at short notice, really appreciated your time and stoke.

Lastly, just got back from a solo-mission to Iceland, must be the most northerly point a Formula board has been? – from the southern Hemi to the Arctic. I’ve attached a few pics .

 

 

 

 

Jacks New Nemo

Jack’s new custom USC Nemo

6”1 by 21 by 2 7/8  , 39 litres 

Rounded pin , custom to Jack’s requirements .

We added more wide through the tail pod and moved away from the traditional swallow set up into a round pin .

The versatility of a good paddler with plenty of width and foam under the chest which the Nemo is known for ,  but the tail shape as a rounded pin to give a little more hold through turns in bigger surf .

With the evolved cleaner deck lines and even foam distribution , a true custom surfboard !

The Sacred Geometrcal art “THE FLOWER OF LIFE” on the deck.

And Coffee Resin Tint on the bottom. 

For a couple of tropical weightless drops ! Nice work Jack !
