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!

A beautiful day for an avid Vertra Sunscreen user at Laniakea, North Shore. Inspired by the pleasing texture of the Vertra 45 SPF Cream and the long lasting protection of the Shane Dorian Kona Gold
Stick, a sun filled and sunburn free day was enjoyed.

Pictures from the Catalina Classic 2010






Pictures from the Catalina Classic 2010

A little late, but none the less still amazing pictures taken by the rising paddling star Jack Bark. He snapped some great photos of the paddling field including those of Vertra's own Brian Rocheleau and Eric Abbott. Rocheleau paddled to an impressive 2nd place finish in this year's Catalina Classic. Abbott after his win at the 2010 Molokai World Championships, took 5th place at the Classic. The crossing is known for being an extremely tough event, and this year proved to be no different with slight head wind and tough currents. Enjoy some of the pictures taken by Jack Bark.
