Repetitive motions like paddling or repeatedly getting up and laying down on the board can cause these abrasions to worsen. Skipping the proper protection and care, these mild abrasions can develop into bleeding, open sores.
Preventing Surf Rash
For years surfers have used rash guards and or petroleum jelly to prevent surf rash, but these solutions come with some drawbacks:
