About Me

When we started Vertra Elemental Resistance in 2004, we vowed 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 outdoor ocean sports 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!

Benny B hits the ECSC

Ben Bourgeois is one of the most decorated surfers from the East Coast of America.  The former World Tour competitor, WQS champion and an all around great guy will be attending the East Coast Surfing Championships in Virgina Beach this week.  Yesterday kicked off the festivities of the 48th Annual ECSC with a total of 36 division to be completed.  
 Virginia Beach is for Lovers and man do they love surfing here!  
Prior to heading up to the ECSC for Reef's Miss Reef competition, Ben was in Costa Rica with good buddy Alek Parker.  We followed Ben through Alek's Facebook posts "Alek and Ben do Coast Rica" and it looks like they got some really fun waves.  Ben went down to CR with Alek to score some fun uncrowded waves and an effort to get some last minute clips for his upcoming Innersection.tv part for the final round of submissions.  There are some sick frame grabs posted from the trip and I'm excited to see what Ben has in store for us with his upcoming section.  We'll keep you posted when it drops.
