Fifty Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE I Started Surfing! #8. Surf Gear- Rash Guards

A surf rash guard is a type of shirt designed for surfing. It has several advantages over a regular T-shirt, such as: - It protects your skin from getting irritated by the friction of your board or your wetsuit. This can cause painful rashes on your chest, stomach, or underarms, especially if you surf for a long time. - It shields your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. This can prevent sunburns, skin damage, and even skin cancer. A surf rash guard usually has a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) rating that indicates how much sun protection it offers. - It keeps your body temperature regulated by wicking away sweat and moisture. This can help you stay relaxed and comfortable in warm water or warm and cozy in cold water.


A rash guard is usually made of synthetic materials like nylon, polyester, or spandex. These materials are stretchy, durable, and quick-drying. They also come in different colors, styles, and sizes, so you can choose one that suits your personality and preferences.

A rash guard is essential for any surfer who wants to enjoy the waves without worrying about their skin. It can also make you look more stylish and professional on your board. So don't hesitate to get yourself a surf rash guard today!
