BE WELL
PREPARED
You’re finally on the surf trip of your life. The
last thing you need is to wind up curled in
the foetal position in bed while your partner
or all your mates are out surfing.
The Saltwater First Aid Kit is specifically designed to fix you, or
at least stick you back together again so you can get straight
back in the water. It also comes with a handbook with step-bystep
instructions showing you what to do if you find yourself in a
dodgy situation.
So whether you have stepped on one of those little pricks (sea
urchins), been stung by some tentacled beast, chomped by a large
fish with teeth, had a heart attack as a result, cut yourself on some
coral or eaten something you shouldn’t have, the Saltwater First
Aid Kit for Surfers will come to the rescue.
And it ain’t no regular first aid kit. Sure it may have the regulars
like gauze bandages and the like, but it also has a range of stuff
not found in a normal kit - things like waterproof dressings and
tape, gastro stop, Lucus papaw ointment, hydrogen peroxide and
Panadol, all in a water resistant, padded bag.
When you’re surfing in any location, albeit a remote or tropical
destination, the risk of infection is significantly increased and
the smallest of cuts can easily turn into something horrendous
overnight. To prevent infection and, more importantly, to keep
you surfing, it’s important that all cuts, grazes and scratches are
sterilized and covered.
This little kit is a must for any surfer, especially those travelling
overseas or to particularly remote locations.
The Saltwater First Aid Kit
for Surfers is available for
only $69.95.
