Save Your Hands
It is always great to hear from you girls about anything windsurfing (and non windsurfing!) related.
Received a great email recommendation a couple of days ago from new member Jackie Lambert:
Whoo hoo! Now that I'm a member, I would like to share my 'Can't live without' product.
For calming down hot, sore windsurfers' hands, (without compromising our much prized callouses!) try 'Climb On'. It comes both as a solid bar, that you rub around your hands like you would with soap - great for straight off the water, or as a rich cream for more intensive repair. It is 100% natural, a 1oz bar lasts for ages and we have converted almost everyone that we know to using it, (blokes as well!) because it really works! It kept our soft, winter hands that had not been wrapped around a boom for months in perfect windsurfing condition for 2 weeks of intense sailing in Margarita, when all around us had their blisters strapped up with duct tape within days!
The cream is also great as a soothing moisturiser for chapped cheeks, chafed chubby 
bits or sunburnt snozzles. Both the cream and the bar smell rather lovely too.
I usually buy Climb On on line from Needle Sports or Kudu Bikes, but it is available from many other outdoor retailers. The name clearly indicates that it is aimed at Rock Jocks with abraded fingertips, but I think that it is a fab product with equal application for we wind junkies!
Just found that it has its own website http://www.climbonproducts.com/ in the US of A. PS I don't work for Climb On - I just think that it is a great product that really works!
Enjoy!

Thanks a lot Jackie, this stuff sounds amazing, might have to get myself some in the future! And great timing too as I have just put up an article all about climbing, check it out http://www.flowindsurfing.com/node/442
Recently been in contact with Polly Reynolds, founder of Climb On, here's what she has to say:
' Some good information for the ladies out there. Although Climb On! was initially invented for rock climber's hands, I invented if for my sister (Amy) who is a rock climber and her friends, it has a lot of other purposes too! So, it's a woman invented and owned product line that is 100% free of synthetics and fillers. Great for everyone which includes animals and the environment. We are a sponsor of the Vans Triple Crown and they love the Mineral Sunblock Climb On! sells.'
Look forward to hearing from more Ladies about their favorite products just drop me an email amy@flowindsurfing.com
