I’m sure by now most of you have noticed that Vertra sunscreen has unfortunately, pretty much gone out of business due to last years quake in Japan.
The good news is that I was just introduced to another brand which I feel could be the replacement we’ve all been looking for. My amigo Albert dropped off some SurferSkin brand products for me to try out and I have to say I was impressed. The facestick is great and even though I’m always a little skeptical about lotions due to running in, and burning of the eyes, I have to say it worked amazing. Most importantly no burning eyes. I surfed for quite awhile and had no feeling of burn whatsoever and actually was left with a feeling like I had applied a vitamin E after cream or some other moisturizer when I was done. A pleasant surprise. It’s not yet available here is SD but make sure to ask your local shop for it next time you go in so that they stock up when they have the chance to order it!
