Sunscreen & Zinc Sticks

Spending time outdoors is part of everyday life at Ocean Sports Board Riders. As a surf shop in Hove, we see how much time our customers spend in the water and under the sun, from early surf sessions to long beach days. That experience shapes how we choose the sun protection we stock, focusing on products that perform well in heat and strong sunlight. From high SPF sunscreen to zinc sticks for the face, this range covers the essentials people look for when they need reliable protection during active days outside.

We stock trusted brands including Ambre Solaire, Sun Bum and Sun Zapper, offering straightforward sun care that’s easy to use and dependable. Whether you prefer a classic sunscreen lotion or a solid zinc format, these products are designed to fit into your routine without slowing you down.

Zinc sticks are a popular choice for surfers and water users. Sun Zapper sells zinc sticks designed for high-exposure areas such as the nose, cheeks and forehead. Zinc sits on the surface of the skin and acts as a physical barrier, making it especially useful during long sessions in the sun or water. The stick format allows for quick, targeted application, with coloured and skin-tone options suitable for both adults and children.

For all-over coverage, Sun Bum sunscreen is a go-to option. We sell Sun Bum coconut lip balm SPF 30, SPF 30 spray, and the Sun Bum face stick SPF 30 for easy reapplication throughout the day. For longer days or stronger sun, we also stock Sun Bum SPF 30 lotion, as well as SPF 50 spray and SPF 50 lotion, giving you flexibility depending on your needs.

Sunscreen lotions and sprays from Sun Bum and Ambre Solaire are ideal for everyday wear, beach days, holidays and outdoor activities. Water-resistant formulas help protection last through swimming and movement, while higher SPF options provide added confidence when the sun is strongest.

At Ocean Sports Board Riders, this selection reflects how people actually use sun care. As a local surf shop in Hove, we focus on practical sun protection that supports an active, outdoor lifestyle. Whether you choose zinc, sunscreen or both, our Sunscreen & Zinc Sticks range helps you stay protected and comfortable while you’re out enjoying the water and time outdoors.
