The Campaign Trail
‘Tis the season to hit the road, pound the pavement, get out there and shake hands, make things happen and garner support for the cause…whatever that cause may be for the campaign. Ours is water-related health for the open-water user. Our campaign trail consists of informing surfers, swimmers etc. about how our product, Surf Drops, can help them prevent surf sickness.
Surf Sickness is no accident. There are millions of gallons of partially treated sewage [180 million on a daily basis off the coast of California] and in some cases, raw sewage pumped into our oceans DAILY. This is not a secret and certainly should not be for anyone interested in enjoying open water activities such as swimming, surfing, or the occassional dip in the water while sun bathing.
This problem is not going to disappear. As we know, the earth is comprised of approximately 80% water. With exponential population growth occurring throughout the world, and a vast majority of people seeking residence in coastal areas [National Geographic, July 2006], the problem is inevitably going to worsen.
This is not a doomsday message meant to scare, only to alert and educate. Those who know these facts and figures only have another threshold of discovery and that is proper preventative measures available to them. As the saying goes “An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,” or in the case of those old timers, “An ounce of prevention is better than years of annoying nasal congestion and eventual sinus and ear drilling.”….I’m sure you get the point.
These issues are now even more emergent in Southern California due to the recent wildfires. Airborne toxins that eventually find their way into the water and certainly into our nasal passages is yet another contributing factor to sinus complications. The message remains, by flushing your nasal passages you greatly decrease your odds of contracting sinus complications due to these toxins.
Now we have Surf Drops! It works. Read the “Respect” page on this very website for testimonials from a small dose of people Surf Drops has helped. We have found that by flushing your sinuses with Surf Drops [see “Use” page for proper instructions] after exposure to open water, you greatly decrease your chances of sinus infections and related complications like ear infections, throat soreness and diseases such as hepatitis.
Less sick days means more days in the water! I have been using Surf Drops for years and have never, NEVER, gotten sick after surfing, following rain, typical sewage dump days etc. But give it a try yourself.
