Proper Suncare, is proper Skincare, and to take proper care of your skin, you have to take the enitre process seriously. When we Started Vertra Elemental Resistance in 2004, we vowed to do just that, to make a serious push and bring skincare awareness to the forefront of our market because until now, it has basically been a category that has been mostly taken for granted. Our Athletes that participate in the paddlesports industry are amongst the most prolific candidates to suffer from sunburn, skin damage, photo-aging and unfortunately in many cases, skin cancer. SIMPLY PUT, quality suncare products for people like us are not an accessory, but a necessity!

The three stages totaled over 80 miles over three-days and four islands, ending with the tolling 37 mile iron race from Teha'a to Bora Bora, in which Team Hawaii placed 4th, just minutes behind Molokai Hoe winner Shell Va'a.  

Also racing from Hawaii was Team Kamanu who finished 42nd overall and HVA junior boys who finished 21st. Team Hawaii Wahine finished fourth in the women's 17mile iron race around Raiatea, while  Team Bradley finished fifth.
