Vissla Youth Rash Guards and Sun Shirts: UPF 50+ Protection for Young Surfers
UPF 50+ sun protection is more critical for young surfers than any other demographic — children's skin is more UV-sensitive than adult skin, groms spend more time in the water per session than most adults, and they're the hardest to get sunscreen consistently applied to before and during active water use. A Vissla youth rash guard solves this entirely: fitted UPF 50+ construction that blocks over 97% of UVA and UVB rays throughout the entire session, regardless of wipeouts, duck dives, and paddle-outs. Quick-dry 4-way stretch construction that moves with the surfer and dries fast out of the water.

- Short Sleeve Youth Rash Guards: Fitted UPF 50+ construction for arm freedom during paddling and pop-ups. California summer and warm water destinations.
- Long Sleeve Youth Sun Shirts: Full arm coverage for maximum UV protection on long beach days and extended surf sessions.
Benefits
