Sun protection reminder

[Tom Butler]

I have a dark completion, burned a few times surfing and such, but have not used much sunscreen through my lifetime except in the snow. Learning to change. Yesterday, hat, long sleave shirt, sunglasses, good coverage except I wore shorts and the tops of my knees are quite red this morning. Rookie tube mistake, in my belly boat it wasn't an issue. Just a reminder to use some protection.

I almost mentioned this in the stoked shorts thread but I have also learned the hard, painful way about sunburn, while fishing and snorkeling. I don't go out without the protection you mentioned plus lightweight quick dry pants; often with zip-off legs but durable GI OCPs if wet wading, vented buff, fingerless sun gloves, and now a (camo) hoodie.
