Clear recently viewedSunscreen Collection – High-Performance UV Protection for Kiteboarders, Foilers, Wing Riders & Beach Lovers
Whether you're spending hours kiteboarding at Skyway, wing foiling on Tampa Bay, cruising the gulf on a Fliteboard, or relaxing on the beach, your skin is exposed to some of the harshest UV conditions in Florida. Intense sun, water reflection, wind exposure, and long session times make high-quality sunscreen essential for anyone who spends time outdoors.
Welcome to the Elite Water Sports Sunscreen Collection — a carefully curated selection of reef-safe, sport-focused, water-resistant sunscreens chosen specifically for watersports athletes. These formulas stay on your skin even in saltwater, during sweating, during long sessions, and in constant wind. They are safe for marine life, effective against UVA/UVB rays, and designed for active riders.
Top Brands like Stream2Sea and Caribbean Breeze Sunscreen represent two trusted sunscreen lines ideal for Florida’s intense conditions.
Why Watersports Athletes Need Specialized Sunscreen
Regular sunscreen isn’t enough for kiteboarders, foilers, paddle athletes, surfers, and beachgoers. You need a formula that can:
✔ Withstand long saltwater sessions
Standard lotions wash off quickly — these sunscreens are built for immersion.
✔ Resist wind + sweat
Salt + wind + sun → the perfect recipe for skin damage. Sport formulas adhere better.
✔ Protect from water reflection
Up to 80% of UV rays reflect off water, hitting your skin twice.
✔ Stay safe for reefs & marine ecosystems
Florida’s waters demand reef-friendly sunscreen ingredients.
✔ Provide tinted and non-tinted options
Tinted options help even skin tone and reduce “white cast” on photos.
✔ Reduce premature aging
The face and neck need extra protection during long sessions.
This collection brings together formulas explicitly chosen for athletic use, harsh sunlight, and saltwater exposure.

2. Don’t forget the “rider zones.”
- Nose
- Under eyes
- Neck
- Chest
- Tops of feet
- Ears
- Back of hands
3. Reapply after long sessions
Especially after 2–3 hours of heavy water exposure.
