Active Summer: Water Sports & Gym

What safety gear is essential for coastal water sports?

Safety is the primary consideration when dealing with currents and variable visibility. A high-visibility buoy is a must for open water swimmers, while those on boards should always utilize a leash. If your day at the beach is part of a weekend at summer festivals, ensure you have a dry change of clothes from our summer garden & urban sports range. For sudden changes in weather, keep a packable poncho from the summer rain gear collection nearby to prevent getting chilled after your session.

How can I increase the durability of my aquatic hardware?

Salt and UV rays are the primary factors that degrade neoprene and silicone. Always rinse your equipment in fresh water immediately after use to remove corrosive residues. If you have been exploring nature, perhaps during a summer wild life photography trip by kayak, check for organic debris in the seams. The technical reason for drying wetsuits inside-out is to protect the outer skin from sun damage while ensuring hygiene in the inner lining. Proper maintenance ensures your hardware remains high-performance for the entire season, allowing you to focus on the waves rather than gear failure.
