Surfing Waves

Hey girls! (or possibly, guys)

I just got my belly pierced on saturday and i've been getting withdrawls from not surfing... How long did you wait to head back in the water? Do you wear some sort of band aid over it when surfing??

i didnt actually surf when i got mine pierced, but i did used to showjump to a rather high level (ok so its no thte same but its still quite physical stuff) and i didnt let mine stop me

cant see why it would be a problem, after all the best way to look after a new piercing is to wash it regularly with water and sea salt. Cant imagine you would get an infection or anything, ive had loads of cuts and scrapes while surfing and never got infected.

Yeah agree with that sea water does cut's and stuff good so i wouldnt see any harm in getting it in the water :)

I got my nose pierced at the begining of the summer and they advised not going in the water for a couple of weeks.

After that I went surfing and it came out after i wiped out and closed up before i could get another stud in it.

I wouldnt worry about going surfing with it....like most people have said the salt water would probably do it good.


Did it hurt by the way??

I Dont know where people get this idea from. Salt water is good sea water is most deffinetly not all the germs and such.

theres no germs in the sea here, the chemicals in the pollution killed them all

plus if you are wearing a wettie id have thought it would rub it a bit

i want to get my nipple pierced but am thinking its gonna have to be done before wetsuit season begins

theres no germs in the sea here, the chemicals in the pollution killed them all

Soon we will be surfing with bio-tech suits on

Oh, word! lol

Had a Mate which had his nipple pierced before we went on a lads holiday, we where mucking about on the beach playing football when someone rugby tackled him ripping the stud bit out damn there was blood everywhere be carefull with nipple piercings

I got my bellybutton peircedd in july & the next day i went surfing & nothing happened. Actually it helped it .. mine was the only one out of all my friends not to get infected i thank the ocean for that(=

I'm not a chick, but I do love them.

But, I do have some advice, that may help.

Liquid skin, or liquid band-aid, or whatever it is called. The stuff you squirt on like glue over a cut. They make water proof stuff.
