Surf Longer.
Stay Chafe‑Free.

Long sessions in saltwater, waxed boards, wetsuits, and repetitive paddling can leave a surfer with painful skin irritation. Slick Moves Anti‑Chafe Balm for Surfing helps prevent wetsuit rash, inner‑thigh chafing, nipple rub, and board friction so you can focus on waves — not skin burn.

  • Reduces friction around the neck, underarms, chest, and behind the knees where wetsuits commonly rub.

  • Creates a smooth barrier between skin and board wax to help reduce chest and inner‑thigh irritation.

  • Designed to perform in wet conditions and extended surf sessions without quickly washing away.

  • Made with coconut oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E to condition and protect skin.

Where Surfers Apply Anti‑Chafe Balm

Surfing creates high‑friction zones from paddling, duck diving, and board contact. Common application areas include:

  • Back and sides of neck (wetsuit rub)

  • Underarms

  • Inner thighs

  • Chest and ribs (board contact)

  • Nipples

  • Behind knees

  • Around bikini or boardshort lines

Apply before paddling out for the best protection.

Slick Moves Info Hub

  • Surfers need more than basic moisturiser — they need a surf‑specific anti‑chafe solution that holds up to saltwater, sand, wax, and repeated movement.

    Slick Moves helps:

    • Prevent wetsuit rash

    • Reduce surfboard wax chafing

    • Protect inner thighs during long sessions

    • Reduce nipple chafe from paddling

    • Support comfortable all‑day surf trips

    Suitable for short sessions, long paddle‑outs, surf travel, and cold‑water surfing.

  • Surf chafing is caused by friction, salt crystals, moisture, sand, and repeated paddling motion. To reduce irritation:

    1. Apply anti‑chafe balm before putting on your wetsuit or boardshorts

    2. Focus on high‑movement and seam areas

    3. Use properly fitting wetsuits

    4. Rinse saltwater off skin after sessions

    5. Reapply for long multi‑session days

    Using a dedicated surfing anti‑chafe balm like Slick Moves is one of the easiest ways to prevent painful rash.

  • Wetsuit rash and board friction can quickly turn minor irritation into raw, painful skin — especially during multi‑day surf trips.

    Common surfing skin issues include:

    • Wetsuit neck rash

    • Underarm irritation

    • Inner‑thigh chafing

    • Chest rub from waxed boards

    • Bikini or boardshort seam irritation

    Prevention keeps you comfortable so you can stay in the water longer.

  • Summer Surfing: Bare skin + wax friction protection
    Winter Surfing: Wetsuit seam defence
    Long Paddle Sessions: Underarm and chest protection
    Surf Travel: Multi‑day saltwater defence

    Wherever you surf, Slick Moves moves with you.
