"Essential Medical Supplies for a Safe Surf Trip"

When packing for a surf trip, it's important to bring essential medical supplies to handle potential emergencies. For cold water trips, items like a Nalgene for hot water, a hat, warm beverages, earplugs, and skin buffer are recommended. In tropical climates, sunburn treatment (aloe vera and ibuprofen), Imodium for diarrhea, bug spray, and Neosporin for reef cuts are essential. While encounters with dangerous ocean life are unlikely, it's important to be prepared for common ailments and injuries that can occur while surfing.
