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!

Ian Walsh to contest the Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trials!!!


The Air Tahiti Nui VonZipper Trails could run on the first day of its three day waiting period.  Today the surf was in the 8 to 10 foot range thus anticipating an incredible start tomorrow with conditions permitting.    

Vertra's very own Ian Walsh is one of the 32 International invited surfers to compete against 32 Tahitians in the prestigious 64 man field of the Air Tahiti VonZipper Trails.  Only 2 of these 64 surfers will qualify for the Billabong Pro main event.  So be sure to see Ian pushing the limits and doing this in his heats and free surfs!  Go Ian!!!  Be sure to watch the event LIVE!

On November 1, 2008 Ian Walsh rode one of the biggest waves ever ridden at Teahupo'o, Tahiti.
