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!

Pat Dolan Open Ocean K1 Paddling in Hawaii

Vertra's Pat Dolan does Open Ocean K1 Paddling in Hawaii Kai
As if Olympic Style Kayaking (K1) was not already hard enough in flatwater, USA National Team Kayaker Pat Dolan decided to take his Epic K1 kayak out for a race in Moanalua Bay on the Island of Oahu. Pretty impressive to say the least. Thanks for being the man Pat!
