Bummed Ears from surfing

What is cold? How about for the ears, no ocean water is warm really.
One more time, always wear earplugs.

PS: I am right across the street for the House Ear Clinic. I talk to those guys almost every day. Wear the plugs, avoid the drill!
Hoods do help.
I personally like Doc's ProPlugs the best and they'll run you about $8.
Some people like foam plugs, others like wax.
Lots of options, just find one you can tolerate.
It only takes a couple of sessions to get used to them.

<strong>Hey GP
If you go with Doc plugs, like I do, make sure they fit really well (there are like 4 sizes or so), and also make surf the leash keeps them around when you push thru 7'+ waves. Then make sure you put them back on.
The concept is to keep the inner ear warm, by keeping the wind out. The little holes allow hearing, so you can talk to your buds. Wet doesn't matter as much, unless you are ready for an ear infection already.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">lee where can i get Doc plugs?

Hi
Any good surfshop, or online surfshops, but you can't really try them on. FIT is of utmost importance, for comfort, for keeping your inner ear warm.
