With the arrival of summer, days get longer and the sun shines brighter. This good weather invites us to enjoy activities under the sun, such as surfing, to glide over the waves with your evolutionary board and enjoy the feeling of freedom that the sea provides.
Why is the evolutionary board the queen of summer?
During summer, there may be periods when waves are scarce. This is due to different factors, such as wind direction or atmospheric conditions. At these times, it is common to use evolutionary boards to make the most of the small waves that form. These boards are slightly more voluminous than conventional shortboards, making them more stable and easier to handle. Additionally, they allow for easier paddling, which is especially useful when waves are softer.
Benefits of choosing an evolutionary board for your sessions:
- Ideal for progression: They provide the necessary confidence for those who are in the learning phase.
- Versatility: They are perfect for experienced surfers looking for a relaxed session in small waves.
- Easy paddling: It allows you to catch more waves per session with much less physical effort.

Responsible sun protection: Conscious surfing with Suntribe
During summer, it is essential to protect our skin due to prolonged sun exposure. Although the sun provides us with vitamin D and a feeling of well-being, it can also be harmful if we do not take appropriate precautions.
When protecting our skin, it is important to choose sun protection products that are not harmful to us or the environment. Throughout history, many conventional sunscreens have contained chemical ingredients that can have a negative impact on corals and other marine species. These ingredients, such as chemical sun filters, can be absorbed by the oceans and damage marine ecosystems.
Why do we choose Suntribe at Flysurf?
We want to introduce you to our friends at Suntribe, a Swedish brand founded by three nature enthusiasts. Their mission is clear: to offer natural sun protection that withstands the most intense surf sessions without leaving a trace in the ocean.
- Pure ingredients: No strange chemicals or unnecessary additives.
- Mineral UV filters: Block the sun physically and safely.
- Water resistant: Ideal for athletes who don't want the cream to run into their eyes during swimming.
- Coral Friendly: Certified as harmless to marine ecosystems.
Get your conscious protection! At Flysurf, we are committed to caring for the sea as much as we are committed to your surfing. That's why you can now find Suntribe's range of mineral sunscreens in our online store.
As a curious fact... Did you know the difference between an SPF 30 and an SPF 50 sunscreen?
The sun protection factor (SPF) is probably one of those things we use very often but don't really know what it means. It has nothing to do with myths like it indicates the duration of active protection, or similar. The protection factor (SPF) is a sunscreen label that indicates the amount of protection it offers against UVB rays.
However, there is an interesting fact that many people don't know: the SPF scale is not linear. For example, SPF 15 blocks approximately 93% of UVB rays, while SPF 30 blocks about 97%, and SPF 50 blocks almost 98%.
Get ready to make the most of summer, protecting your skin and enjoying the waves with the right boards!
With love, #AlwaysFree
