SKIN HEALTH
Stay out of the doctor’s office.
Moisture is the enemy, and it wins more battles than you think. Each year, millions find themselves fighting off moisture-associated skin diseases (MASD). Athlete’s foot, toenail fungus, trench foot, you name it — all because they let damp gear linger too long.
Surf Dry doesn’t mess around. It pulls moisture out of your wetsuit and booties overnight — using the same drying setup you already have.
Moisture isn't just uncomfortable. It's dangerous.
When wetsuits and booties stay wet, they create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria, fungus, mold, and mildew.
The longer your gear stays damp, the higher the risk for serious skin and nail infections.
Common moisture-related problems include:
- Athlete’s foot (fungal infection caused by Trichophyton fungi)
- Toenail fungus (onychomycosis)
- Skin rashes and dermatitis
- Bacterial infections like pseudomonas (which thrive in moist environments)
Even mild infections can cause pain, itching, and downtime from the water.
Left untreated, they can escalate into serious medical issues needing prescription treatment — or worse, surgical intervention.

Why Dry Gear Matters:
- Fungi and bacteria need warm, moist environments to grow.
- Dry gear disrupts their life cycle, reducing the chance for infection.
- Mold and mildew are also major allergens and irritants, potentially triggering asthma and skin reactions.
Surf Dry™ was built to break the moisture cycle.
Our proven technology ensures wetsuits, booties, gloves, and other water gear dry faster — so you stay healthier, surf or dive longer, and avoid preventable infections.
Don’t let hidden moisture cost you sessions — or your skin health.
Dry smart. Stay strong.
