Eyewear and Ear Protection

Wearing sunglasses on the water is essential for protecting your eyes from the intense glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the surface. Polarized sunglasses are especially effective on the water, as they reduce reflected light and improve visibility, making it easier to see beneath the surface and navigate safely. Surf ear protection is essential for preventing common water-related ear conditions like surfer's ear (exostosis) and swimmer's ear (otitis externa). These issues often develop from prolonged exposure to cold water and wind, which can cause painful inflammation or abnormal bone growth in the ear canal.
