Kids and Sport: Safe Surfing
Introducing the kids to any extreme sport is to be done with caution (no matter how confident they might seem about donning their new XCEL Infinity winter wetsuit and getting out into the British sea for a session of exhilarating coasteering!)
Aside from kitting them out in brand-leaders like XCEL kids wetsuits, instilling the elemental respects and precautions needed to head out into any open water is vital in safeguarding kids against the perils of water sports.
Surf Safety
Never practice water sports with kids on a beach where there is no lifeguard. Before even a tentative paddle in the icy British waters, run through beach safety standards such as flag meanings, signs and distress signals.
Waves look pretty fun from a distance, but breakers can cause serious injury. Ensure kids have a full understanding of the dangers faced by spending a little time board-free in the water together exploring.
Rip tides are the fear of many a parent. The most important move to teach kids it to remain calm, as most drowning occurs due to fatigue. Attempting to swim back to shore will exhaust even the toughest adult. Kids should allow the rip to carry them as effortlessly as possible whilst raising their arm and trying to attract attention. Lifeguards are trained to spot just such an emergency.
Sunburn/Windburn
It’s a cruel twist that Britons escape the dangers of sunburn… only to be confronted with the cruel slap of windburn throughout the year! Wetsuits like the XCEL Infinity provide protection against windburn and sunburn. During summer, experts recommend kids wear a wetsuit regardless of weather as an act of basic safety.
Equipment Maintenance
Investing in XCEL kids wetsuits is a waste of time without proper care. Set aside adequate time to run through the proper wetsuit and board care tools, products and processes.

Flags of Our Fathers $6.99 In this unforgettable chronicle of perhaps the most famous moment in American military history, James Bradley has captured the glory, the triumph, the heartbreak, and the legacy of the six men who raised the flag at Iwo Jima. Here is the true story behind the immortal photograph that has come to symbolize the courage and indomitable will of America. In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jima–and into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the island’s highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flagraisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever. To his family, John Bradley never spoke of the photograph or the war. But after his death at age seventy, his family discovered closed boxes of letters and photos. In Flags of Our Fathers, James Bradley draws on those documents to retrace the lives of his father and the men of Easy Company. Following these men’s paths to Iwo Jima, James Bradley has written a classic story of the heroic battle for the Pacific’s most crucial island–an island riddled with Japanese tunnels and 22,000 fanatic defenders who would fight to the last man. But perhaps the most interesting part of the story is what happened after the victory. The men in the photo–three were killed during the battle–were proclaimed heroes and flown home, to become reluctant symbols. For two of them, the adulation was shattering. Only James Bradley’s father truly survived, displaying no copy of the famous photograph in hishome, telling his son only: The real heroes of Iwo Jima were the guys who didn’t come back. Few books ever have captured the complexity and furor of war and its aftermath as well as Flags of Our Fathers. A penetrating, epic look at a generation at war, this is history told with keen |
