PSA: sunscreen

I grew up in San Diego, and living there your pretty much accustomed to whatever the sun can manage to throw at you. I've surfed for four or five hours in a single day and only put on sunscreen once. Didn't burn. I've gone an entire summer only wearing a shirt on select occasions. Rarely burned. But if there's one thing I've learned over this spring break its that no matter what, spending literally all day every day for a week with little sunscreen is guaranteed to make you burn.

Too all you who dont know: if your snowboarding and its 50 degrees out and the sun is shining, you might want to put on some sunscreen. Anything. Just dont go with nothing.

I had forgotten how harsh the suns ray's can be when they reflect off of the snow. I went boarding at christmas and didnt put sunscreen on and didnt burn. Then again, it was pretty cloudy and snowing most of the time.

I spent 3 days boarding in the perfect conditions to get burned and did I ever. Its not fun. Use some sunscreen
