Welcome to Surfers Survival Guide
Between the moment we want to launch ourselves on our first waves and the moment we look at what equipment we should have for surfing, the hard reality catches up with us and does not always prepare us in the best way. Especially when it comes to accidents, injuries, etc. If you are an amateur and you plan to go to the other side of the world to surf on very high waves, in some crazy spots, then you have come to the right website.
Safety first
Some people leave for a 3 months trip to the unexplored shores of the Solomon Islands, others feel they already have a few trips under their belt and have their own opinion on the subject, but if, more modestly, you are just thinking about the possible hazards you might encounter, browse through this site written to help you during the different phases of your surfing trip, on the rules that you should respect as a serious and well-informed surfer and traveler.
Medical survival kit
First of all, you must always bring your medical survival kit. Of course, no one would want to use it, but it’s a basic requirement for any good surfer. Also, check if your location has a hospital, clinic, or other facility nearby. This may save you from having to take a medical survival kit with you.
bandages & dressings
Among the necessary items, there are saline solution, bandages, waterproof and hydro active bandages, disinfectant, compresses, arnica cream, hydroalcoholic gel, wipes, anti-itching cream, tiger balm that can be used for headaches or small wounds, after sun, sun cream, even Biafine.
FIRST AID kit & tools
For more delicate situations, you may need a cloth or velcro arm splint, a thermometer, syringes, and ampoules to anesthetize a wound locally and lightly, antibiotics, etc. Also think about tools such as scissors, tweezers, nail clippers, needle, Swiss Army knife, a flashlight, and a small mirror.
Medicines & painkillers
If needed, you can also bring medication such as Smecta, paracetamol, throat lozenges, etc. Always keep a prescription for your medication when traveling, as some countries may consider them counterfeit.
clothes & equipmentS
Clothing-wise, nothing could be simpler: a hat like a bob to cover the back of your neck, a pair of sunglasses, lycra, flip-flops or walking sandals and boardshorts. Of course, you will not forget all the equipment of your board as well!
