Active Summer: Water Sports & Gym

Summer Water Sports & Fitness FAQs

How do I choose the best gear for aquatic fitness and surfing?

Coastal activities between April 27 and August 30 require hardware built for both buoyancy and sun protection. For SUP and surfing, our boards are designed with high-density materials to ensure stability in varying sea states and coastal conditions. Technical swimwear and rash guards are vital for providing a mechanical barrier against UV rays while preventing board rash during long sessions. For those who enjoy beach-based cardio, the breathable uppers in our summer running gear range are ideal for warm-ups on the sand. If your coastal mission involves exploring rocky coves, the durable footwear in our summer hiking & mountain bikes collection offers superior underfoot protection. As part of our summer gear at great prices mission, we provide high-volume tested wetsuits that cater to every level of swimmer.

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.
