I've been in the sun all my life and never get burned... I would recommend a baseball hat with sunglasses. They work great. I also have never used sun protection, and neither has my grandfather who is a plumber and a beach bum all his life, he was always golden brown and never burnt. He wears a baseball hat while doing outdoor work.
However this is in sunny California, and I keep hearing about how Utah ranks very high in melanoma because of its high altitude. What is the difference if your surfing on a real bright day where you get reflections off the water everyday for 28 years and then you come up to Utah where it is the skin cancer capital? Well I am a hard-core sun worshipper and I love being outdoors. Should I invest in SPF lotions? I never liked being greasied up...
