Now that the summer season is here, it’s probably a good time to in which to discuss precisely what is certainly in each of our thoughts: skin cancer. There’s a chance you don’t know this, but skin cancer will be the # 1 clinically diagnosed form of cancer in the US as we have more than 2 million folks diagnosed annually. Sunshine together with skin cancer travel hand in hand which means that the summer season is the best time discuss preventing this kind of dangerous cancer. Below are a few sun-protection ideas that everybody may benefit through.
Avoidance is paramount in terms of skin cancer. Staying away from direct exposure to the sun can reduce substantially on the threat. That does not suggest you’ll need to be some sort of hermit and remain inside for the entire summer, however choosing to stay in the shade along with sporting loose fitting, tight weaved materials along with long sleeves provide you with the greatest defense. Some sort of hat having a wide brim along with sun glasses helps keep the face as well as eyes safeguarded. Needless to say whenever it’s 90 degrees outside, it is likely you do not wish to be dressed in any long sleeve, top which means that clothes might not be the appropriate defense all the time. If you’re going to be around the water though, such as the ocean or your favorite lake, be sure to wear a rash guard swim shirt as these UV shirts will provide you with SPF 150 protection that won’t wash off like sunscreens will.
When one cannot cover their skin, or simply doesn’t desire to, sun screen lotion as well as sunblock can be your alternate protection. They basically stop your epidermis from taking in harmful UBA along with UBV rays. To ensure the right results you must use them correctly, which means you must rub them on before you head outside. In addition, you have to be sure you have covered all of the pores and skin that will be uncovered. Many people feel, you need to change out any sunscreen lotion annually to make sure that it’ll do the job.
Now delight in the summer season, yet you want to keep the dangers associated with melanoma at heart. Sunlight and cancer of the skin really are immediately related. Create healthy choices and employ a lot of these sun-protection ideas. Using a small amount of prevention today may help you save plenty of misery in the future.

Southern California surfers are having been watching all the recent activity ‘down under’ and are awiting the arrival of a fairly significant south swell in about 4-5 days.
As you can see in the above wave measurement graphic there’s been quite a bit of wave making activity in the Southern Hemisphere during the last few days and surfers are waxing up their surfboards in anticipation of the swell which is expected to reach 1-2′ overhead around Monday or Tuesday.
Time to grab your boardshorts and rash guard shirts and hit the water – COWABUNGA, dude!!

The third day of competition at the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star O’Neill Cold Water Classic found itself at its third new location where surfing’s big names took to the water.
With conditions easing ever so slightly, contest director Matt Wilson chose Marrawah’s exposed Lighthouse Beach as the spot to finish off the Round of 96.
In this isolated northwest corner of Tasmania, the likes of Jordy Smith, Cory Lopez, Ben Dunn, aerial master Josh Kerr, and Damien Hobgood made the most of the powerful beachbreak.
There are high expectations for the 21-year-old South African surfing phenomenon, Jordy Smith, winner of this ASP World Qualifying Series (WQS) tour two years ago, and he didn’t fail to disappoint, waiting until the second half of his heat to pull out his high scoring waves.
“It’s interesting being back on the ASP WQS,” Smith said, “because you can go through with 5’s. I can’t get away with that on the World Tour.”
This is the first time for Jordy on Australia’s island state, but he is fitting right into the Tasmanian waters,
“I met a few of the locals yesterday evening out in the water,” Smith said. “I was asking them how to get back because it was getting pretty dark and we were pretty far from anything. They were like, no worries catch a ride with us. It was crazy driving through the night with all the Tasmanian Devils about and stuff. We almost hit something the other day – I would have felt bad. We didn’t though, we stopped and let it cross the road.”
The heat of the day was a battle of spectacular young talent, with 19-year-old up-and-coming Australian star, Owen Wright taking it out ahead of Dusty Payne, Lincoln Taylor and Wiggoly Dantas.
“It was a pretty close heat,” Wright said. “The first day was incredible – the Bluff is an awesome wave. But it’s great it’s mobile. It keeps all the options open and you can get the best waves every day. I’ve been over to Tasmania before. But never to this corner. It’s a nice untouched place – it’s an awesome place to have an event.”
As Rob Bain, O’Neill’s Asia/Pacific Marketing Manager said, “It’s not just about the surfing here. We’ve had amazing waves and most of the surfers are discovering them for the first time ever. But this is also more like a road trip – it’s about the different experiences.”

OK, these guys are hardcore surfers! There’s a group of guys up in Montreal, Canada who actually surf on the St Lawrence river in the dead of winter – BRRRRR!
Led by local surfboard shaper, Corran Addison, these guys suit up and hit the 4 degree, (yes, that’s FOUR DEGREE), water where the biggest danger they face is the large pieces of floating ice and can go form damaging your board to causing serious bodily injury if a surfer happens to get pinned between two large icebergs.
“It’s just like an obstacle course,” says fellow ice surfer Christine Pinsonneault, 25. “You’re basically doing a slalom around the blocks of ice as they come down the river. You can’t miss them all so you have to be willing to have a board you don’t mind destroying.”
“It’s not just about being an expert surfer, it’s also understanding the dynamics of this unique situation,” Addison says. “There are some things you would never think are dangerous until they happen to you. There could be 100 metres separating two big icebergs and you wouldn’t think twice about it until you have a friend who has been squashed between the two because he wasn’t paying attention.”

Our friends over at Earth Resources Foundation are at it again with another one of their terrific community events!
This Saturday, (January 31st), they’re sponsoring a day of native plant restoration at Jeronimo Creek, in Mission Viejo, California, (on Jeronimo Road between Marguerite and Olympiad).
This is a terrific event where you can get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery while helping the environment by planting native species to restore the area habitat. It’s also a way for high school students to not only make a difference in the environment but also complete community service hours.
The event runs from 9am to Noon and you can park at Pavion Park , 24051 Pavion, located off of Jeronimo. From Marguerite Pkwy turn east onto Jeronimo, go almost 2 miles and take a right into Pavion Park. Walk south along the trail to the restoration site.
Be sure to bring sunscreen, (or wear some UV protective clothing like our StayDry – KoreDry shirts), water, snacks, hat and closed toe shoes. They will be providing gloves, hoes, and other gardening tools. However, if you have your own – please bring them.

His Royal Highness General Khaled bin Sultan, founder and Chairman of the Living Oceans Foundation, announced the formal launch of “Global Reef Expedition: Science Without Borders” the Foundation’s three-year coral reef study.
The goals of the expedition are to:
- map and characterize coral reef ecosystems
- assess major habitat types
- identify factors that allow coral reefs to resist, survive and recover from major threats
- determine impacts of climate change
- identify the reefs’ current status and major threats
- and help develop regional and global conservation measures
We’ve told you one way you can help from harming coral reefs with the chemicals used in sunscreens is to wear a rash guard shirt when you snorkel or dive to view them.

Just a reminder that tonight the Long Beach, CA Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will host a special evening with Surfline Forecasters who will discuss the basics of wave formation, what swells and wind conditions are best for the surrounding area and can also certainly throw in some info on what the surf would be like if the breakwater was no longer there.
So if you’ve ever wondered what it takes to forecast our great waves here in Southern California, here is your chance to learn and ask as many questions as you’d like.
The meeting will start at 7pm and will be located in the downstairs portion of the Barnes and Noble bookstore in the Marina Pacifica Mall (near 2nd Street PCH).
