So what does everyone use out there?

I just bought some of that spray stuff from Costco. Last year I was using the Coppertone Spray - seemed to work ok.
This year I bought some Banana boat spray and that crap stung the hell out of my eyes for hours! Never again!

So what does everyone use for those long long sessions?

Thanks,

Bought spray once, waste of money, ran out real quick. Get on de boat - Banana Boat. The super-ultra sweatproof stuff works well, and at spf 50000 you can actually survive nuclear blasts and walk on the Sun with it.

Organic Ocean Potion seems to be working well for me this summer. I've tried what seems like a million different brands. And trying to kite through stinging eyes is NO FUN AT ALL!! One thing I did discover, it's pretty key to slather up well before you hit the water, any product is less likely to slip if it's set into your skin. Be safe!

bullfrog gel. it's clear so you don't look like a ghost when you glob it on.

I'm blond haired and blue eyed with fair skin. I work in the outdoor industry and have tried nealy every brand of sunblock that is 30-50spf. After all my searching and trying, I finally found what I consider to be the best sunblock ever - SOL Sunguard.

A cool thing about SOL is you can pick your flavor depending on usage... like water specfic or high altitude applications. They are the only brand supposenly using pharmacuticle grade sunblock instead of commercial. All I know is that SOL works!!! :)
