SKIN CANCER PREVENTION

Use broad spectrum sunblock with the active ingredients “zinc” & “titanium”

And in regard to examining moles, follow the ABCDE’s of self screening. Look for:

Asymmetry
Borders
Color
Diameter
Evolving

And CHANGING is the most important thing. Anything, mole or otherwise, on your skin that is changing is suspect.

FACEBOOK’S POLITICAL WOES

Could the WSL ditch the Facebook partnership in light of the social media giant’s alleged bad behavior?

And does live streaming add any value? Filipe’s 1 freesurf wave on a layday garnered more views than any single wave during the entire event that was showcased on multiple platforms.
