One tip I got was to go down to your local thrift store and get some trunks and logo t-shirts and use them to line your board bag then give them away to the locals out there. Really was a big hit. Also, when you get to Padang have somebody run out to a local pharmacy and get some of this stuff (although even frickin' Amazon has it). For reef cuts this stuff is like putting a scab on, really works. It's also called Die Da Yao Gin.

looks like over-priced zinc cream to me.

Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide have a slightly synergistic effect at blocking UV-A and UV-B light.

Looks like you get one or the other here.

And they have signature sticks?

Thats an 11/10 on the wank/marketing factor to me.

no disrespect intended, it probably works fine.
I made my own diy recipe on line and found a good mix of nano zinc oxide and shea butter and I can not remember rest last all day in and out of water. Really have to rub in or you look like ghost..

valley purgatory
a hooded rash guard and some reef booties
may look like a kook but who gives a crap while getting barreled

a major sunburn or foot laceration on day 1 of the trip can ruin the whole trip

also bring something OTC meds for diarrhea etc
Yea I bought booties I dont care if I look like a goob.

Have a couple ZPacks and some crazy GI meds from my last adventure I will bring. Good call!
