Best Sunblock 2021

[ReForest]

I use sumbum to lube my thighs when first switching over to trunk season and my boards still have wax out to the rail.

Why not take the wave off and re-wax the boar?

 

[sdsrfr]

bc i would be using sunscreen anyway, and the board likely already has appropriate temp wax not worth scraping?

I found the Target brand mineral sunscreen to be really good. Only downside is it has a purplish tint and colors your face.

Is it labeled “XTR grey”??

I hate when tinted sunscreen tints my board.

Shows up on the rails where I grab to duck dive and on the nose where I grab it to stabilize going over the top of a wave instead of under.

Been using this for the past year, probs cheaper make yourself but who's worried about that, well worth the price for the results.

I use this one. It's expensive, but I can't be out in the sun without my sun visor and cream. White pride comes at a cost

In full disclosure, I have been helping this local San Diego start up with some marketing but this is not an ad for them, just my honest opinion. That said, I have tried just about everything on the market and finally found that this stuff does not burn my eyes in the water, doesn't cause my skin to break out, even at 50 that sh!t still happens. I was loyal to Sun Bum locally, or Headhunter for the tropics, this is better than both for me. It goes on clear, no white face, if you get the lightly tinted version it rubs in well. They have some heavy Hawaiians as ambassadors that swear by this stuff from what I have heard from them, I have yet to wear it in the tropics, just here in San Diego. Not sure how it compares by price to others.

I've tried this stuff. It burned the sh!t out of my eyes.

My wife loves it though and still uses it all the time.

i use this because it's cheap and quick but opting for the cheap and quick option hasn't always led to my best life decisions

Thanks for that feedback. I have not had any complaints yet about it burning eyes, that was the biggest selling point for me personally. I'll let the founders know!

I loved Doc Martins of Maui, but looks like it's not available.

i thought this stuff was greasyish, theres better, avasol goes quickly but is killer > vetra

Both the white xtr boards I got from @Havoc have splotches of what I can only assume is the Vertra tint of Shane Dorian. Maybe he should just ask XTR for that color next time.

chinese mexicans usually do

Just back from surf trip to Oaxaca, surfing mid day in Mexican sun. Shishedo stick on my face and Shade on my head (easier to apply to head/scalp). Both zinc/titanium dioxide based. Worked great, no burn.

Friends used Manda and really liked as well. Looked a little pasty white but they were stoked on it.

Don't mind spending a little extra coin for good sunscreen that stays on. Cheaper than skin cancer.

Get a pack of makeup removal wipes to take it off.

If I'm just local and not in the water all day the CVS brand clear zinc works pretty well.
