Beside the water itself, the sun exposure can be very harmful to your skin. You could cover up your skin with the best sunblock. Don’t forget to bring your sunscreen. This will protect you from UVB and UVA rays at the same time. But make sure you clean your hands after applying the sunscreen to prevent slipping on your paddle.
