Unfortunetly being a white boy and having been raised on the beach in the sun I have a bad case of sun spots. I look like a darn leopord during the summer on my back.

You guys should stop worrying about it, it is the one single sign that you surf, the more contrasting your tan is the more it proves your comminment to surfing, kind of like belts in Karate.

I usually just roll the wetsuit down to my waist so my upper body can get som sun light, unless it's a cold day or cool day with strong breeze.

I always get tanned no matter what, but I wear a shortie in summer so I can still wear shorts without having pale legs. My skins olive really anyway
