The Beach Depot is proud to offer USA manufactured high quality SPF 150+ UV rash guards. Our online store and blog is intended to be your complete resource for sun protection. Subscribe to our RSS feed for weekly tips on sun protection, news and the latest information on our sites www.thebeachdepot.com, www.myspfshirts.com and www.mysurfdvds.com.

Tip #1- A rashguard is a lycra shirt that provides total sun protection and is recommended strongly by dermatologists to be used in addition to sunscreen, sun glasses and hats to protect you and your family’s skin from getting sun burned.

Swim shirts and surf shirts are excellent for any water sport or outdoor activity as they are extremely breathable, do not absorb water, are athletic fitting, and provide superior comfort with flexibility. We offer a huge selection of colors, styles, and sizes from men’s, to women’s rashguards, kids, toddler, even XXL adults.

The ideal strategy would be to wear a rash guard shirt for coverage on your body and arms while caking the sun screen on your face, neck, ears, legs, feet, etc. A rashguard shirt does not wash off like sun screen and guarantees total coverage with no missing of spots on your back, or hard to reach places. We also strongly advise wearing sun glasses and hats, as the eyes and scalp are commonly neglected areas that get maximum sun exposure.

Lean Times, Fun Times

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

With a second Great Depression looming on the horizon it may be a good time to make some spending cutbacks. As Stephen Colbert put it, “The days of lining your hamster cage with hundreds are long gone.” But don’t get too bummed out, there are still plenty of inexpensive ways to have fun in these “lean times.” If you are one of those people who hit the bar on pay day, this is the quickest way to flush that hard earned money down the drain. A cheaper alternative can be to invite friends over to the house. Food and drinks will be way cheaper and you will still have a blast.

Sorry, but the $100 weekend golf round may need to be cut dude. However, there are so many outdoor activities that cost nothing. Surfing is a great poor man’s sport in times of famine. If you don’t have a board, go steal one. You can spend literal hours of stress free fun time on a surfboard and the ocean is free (at some places for a limited time only).

Can’t afford sunscreen? Hello, buy one of our UV 150+ rashguards for only $27.95, or buy two and get free shipping!

Turn off the TV and quit buying stuff. You really don’t need any more Billy Blanks products. If you must buy something in the middle of the night off TV at least make it a cool buy like a U.S. Mint coin made from real World Trade Center wreckage, ooh or a Spacebag!
