Yes.
Happens to me every time I switch to just boardies and I forget how slippery it is :roll:

Put the sunscreen on a while before you go out, rather than last thing at the beach 8)

Usually on the first wave I catch every time I go surfing I feel the slipperyness of the sunscreen on the board and I often blame that for my habit of falling on the first wave but after a wave or two it goes away.

I've given up on sunscreen....put a little zinc on forehead, nose and cheeks on really sunny days. Throw on a tshirt and you'll solve the problem of chest screen use age and slippage in one shot.

Rash shirts are the go, helps prevent the cripple nipple syndrome as well . Sunblock or zinc cream on the face and perhaps a sun hat.
Prolonged exposure of the skin beyond the length of time needed for adequate vitamin D Can lead to a raft of skin problems, all of which are more prevalent in later life.
Protect your skin, check your skin, . Bask beautifully and bountifully!
