More Information
Surfing
Few things are as iconically Australian as surfing. Whether it's because of our world-famous beaches, the easy-going attitude of coastal life or the history of global title-winning surfers, surfing is up there with Tim-tams, Vegemite and koalas. While it's great for people young and old, taking care of your body while surfing is important to prevent a sprain or sore joint becoming a more serious injury.
Wearing a surfing support or brace is a great way to make sure you can hit the surf and enjoy a few good waves without grimacing in pain each time you shift your weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Surfing
Can I wear these all day or just when I exercise?
Most of our sports line is designed for wear during active movement rather than all day, while our main range (products ending in "Train" or "Loc") are better suited for injury management and all day wear, whether it's sports, exercise, work or just chores around the house. If you're unsure if the support you're looking at is ideal for all day wear, just contact our friendly staff.
Can I still move properly in these?
These supports are designed to allow for regular range of movement while stabilising the joint and preventing injury. This means you can confidently move in pivots, sudden changes of direction, jumps and landing as well as quick steps and positioning.
Will these overheat?
Bauerfeind's range of supports are made from an ultra-breathable cotton/elastic weave that's perfect for active use of any level. Clinically shown to vent heat more effectively than any other support, it's perfect for air-flow, temperature regulation and comfort.
How do I take care of these products?
Virtually all of our products can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle and air dried out of direct sunlight. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.
How do I know they'll fit?
Bauerfeind has an incredibly extensive sizing system for our products based off of hundreds of thousands of patient measurements. The perfect anatomic fit system we use means that the supports are designed to fit your body, not the other way around.
Will these change how I surf?
While any kind of brace or support will have an affect on your physical movement, it's in a positive sense. More stability in the joints and muscles, increased power with each movement and better balance mean that you'll move more effectively. It may take a little bit of adjustment with some supports that have rigid components, but long-term there should only be an improvement in your form.
How do these help me while I'm surfing?
When you're looking for something durable, waterproof and easy to fit under your wetsuit, Bauerfeind has the solution. Our range of supports provide stabilty and compression without compromising movement, so you can throw yourself at the biggest waves knowing that our supports have your back (or knees).
Do I have to have an injury to wear these?
The beauty of these supports is their versatility. While there are a wide range of products to manage injury (the "Train" and "Loc" range), the sports line is perfect for helping you to get more out of each movement, not only enhancing your exercise for better results, but helping protect you from injury.
