Docs Pro Plugs The Ultimate Ear Protection

Doc's Proplugs is the only earplug that protects the ears from surfer's ear by keeping a warm pocket of air in the canal and keeping cold water out without impeding hearing and balance. "Doc's Proplugs are crucial for surfing. I've been using them for 10 years and I never go into the water without them. Without Proplugs you will develop surfers ear and then need your ears to be drilled." - (pro-surfer) Jason 'Ratboy' Collins

Surf Nano Products

Big wave charger Darrick Doerner digs it! " It takes me places I haven't been before"! The "Board Enhancer" is a clear, hydrophobic coating that when applied to the underside and rails of a surfboard and allowed to cure, creates a water repellent surface which reduces drag, increases board speed, and increases quickness in the turns. As Double D says "Try it"!
