How You Can Benefit From A Surf Rashguard

By Lila Barry


A surf rashguard is necessary for all surfers because without this you are going to develop a rash on your arms and under this area as well. If you out for a short surf, then it may not be necessary. Some people have padding on their boards, but it is not as effective. These can be replaced by wetsuits, but this is not always realistic.

This is used for different purposes, but overall surfers will use this so they don't develop a rash under the arm or generally on the arm. This happens because you are always paddling to catch the next wave or to get out further past the white wash. You will be rubbing your arms against the board all the time.

The friction that it creates when you rub your arms against the board will make your arms go red. This is if you have no protection. It may help if you have a wetsuit, but not all surfers want this because in a place like Hawaii, for example, the waters are a lot warmer and you don't need all of that extra heat.

If you were to watch a competition, you would have noticed surfers wearing vests like these so that judges can identify them. There are usually commentators at these events and they will often name them by the color the rash guard. They will say, something like surfer in red or surfer in yellow, instead of their name, which can be complex.

These vests come in all sorts of colors and that is useful for younger surfers because if your child is just learning to surf it can be nerve wracking. You need to know where your son or daughter is all the time. You can identify them by looking out for the bright yellow neon vest that you have bought for them at the local surf shop.

At a surf shop, you may find rash vest being designed in a custom way. They will probably have their own logo on the back with their own slogan. It is best to have the design on the back because a surfer will be lying on the board most of the time, so this is the side that you will be seeing. However, you can have something small on front.

This will also act as branding for your school or your shop. If you make these really nice with a great design, and affordable, then people will buy them. Of course there are always people who will want vests that have one of the big surfer names on them, but if you are a parent and you have just bought a surfboard, you don't want to buy more expensive equipment.

Some people will only buy famous brands, but then you get people who will feel that these should only be worn by the pro surfers. You have to decide for yourself what kind of surf rashguard you are looking for, and this depends on a number of factors. Some are thinner than others, and this depends on how often you surf because they will get worn out quicker. Some are short sleeved and some come with a longer sleeve.
