[0061] Some of the purposes or uses for a rash guard? Rash guards provide SPF protection and a little warmth and also when you get out of the water, they usually dry quicker than just a normal shirt. Body surfing or boogie boarding without a shirt, you end up with a pretty nasty rash on your belly that's why they call them rash guardsthey protect the skin from being rubbed raw by the sand/salt. The tight fit of a rash guard is what prevents sand from getting between your skin and your board. Suffers also wear them under their wetsuits to aid in getting them on and off. Rash guards for waxed boards. Same thing for board Rash Shorts. You wax the board to make it tacky so your feet stick, but it also makes your belly stick when paddling out, or your thighs when straddling the board. Rash Jams and rashies put something between your skin and the wax. It's also great for your kids. You don't have to worry about applying (and then re-applying later on) sunblock. In the ocean because I sun burn so easily. It was nice not to have to stress out about my back and shoulders while snorkeling. The majority of sand settles to the ground, but moving currents churns a portion of sand particles. When those particles move between two fixed objects (a body and a board) . . . cause for friction. You don't have those issues in a pool, but it makes sense that irritants moving in a substance requires protection.
