Who This Guard Is For
Longboarders and mini-tank riders paddling out along South Florida beach breaks know that a hard nose is one of the most common sources of dings, bruised ribs, and cut lips in close lineups. This nose guard is built for anyone riding a classic hi-performance or traditional longboard shape who wants a safety margin at the tip, whether they are a beginner still learning to control the board or an experienced rider sharing a crowded peak.
Installing and Living With It
Because it is a peel, stick and surf design, the guard goes on directly to the nose of the board and is ready to paddle out with right away. It is meant to stay in place through regular sessions, absorbing impact at the tip so the board itself, and whoever it bumps into, takes less of a hit. Keeping the nose area clean and dry before applying it helps the adhesive bond properly to the deck.
About SurfCo Hawaii
SurfCo Hawaii was established in 1986 to distribute the Nose Guard after it proved to be an effective solution for reducing injuries caused by a surfboard's nose tip. The guard was introduced and tested by top professional surfers on the North Shore of Hawaii during the winter of 1986, and that original safety concept is the same idea behind the guard sold here.
