MyPR<\/a>: Calm As\u2026 Launches Their Revamped First Aid Kits For Surfers<\/a>:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Manly, Australia<\/strong> \u2013 Due to popular demand, the Calm As\u2026 First Aid Kits For Surfers have been revamped, and the new-look kits are already available for sale here https:\/\/bettersurf.com.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n

The Calm As\u2026 First Aid Kits For Surfers came about as a collaboration between a number of Doctors with one thing in common \u2013 they all surfed. In fact they were all members of the Surfing Doctors<\/a> \u2013 a close-knit group of like-minded individuals who have filtered out of various specialties and areas of medicine to combine the love of two totally different passions; the surfing sport and lifestyle, and a lifelong career in medicine.<\/p>\n

Every year the Surfing Doctors gather in Grajagan to discuss various medical and surfing topics in their Annual Conference. Conference topics vary, but the conversations remain around medical procedures, emergency surgery, eye injuries and fin chops, as well as the latest surfboard technology and the best equipment needed to take on the fabled waves of Grajagan<\/p>\n

It was while in the jungle that Dr Jon Cohen from Australia, along with the help of Dr Phil Chapman from South Africa, came up with the concept of Calm As\u2026 surfers medical kits that are specific for surfers when traveling into remote areas, and who might experience surfing or travel injuries.<\/p>\n

The first edition of the Calm As.. First Aid Kits For Surfers were an immediate success, and as more information and knowledge came through from end-users, so Dr Cohen tweaked and updated the kit into this current iteration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew what most surfers would need in a medical emergency while in the jungle or off the beaten track, but we needed some more information as to the quantities of the gear they would get through when using the kit,\u201d said Dr Cohen. \u201cAs a result we have increased the quantities of certain gear, including the basics like bandaids and alcohol wipes, as well as including some heavy duty gloves and reorganizing the layout of the kit for more intuitive use.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been fun just slightly modifying the contents so that the kits fit a wider variety of needs than originally intended,\u201d continued Dr Cohen. \u201cWe found that a lot of surfers were keen to have a kit sitting in their cars or utes after getting back from overseas for those unexpected accidents when kicking around home, or on mini road trips.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ongoing support of Calm As\u2026 has been encouraging, and surfers have been quick on the uptake,\u201d said Dr Cohen. \u201cThose surfers who have dealt with medical emergencies before will feel comfortable with the contents of the kits, and those ones who find themselves in an emergency situation for the first time should be comfortable with the contents and the straight-forward instructions that come with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The crew at Calm As\u2026 will be giving away a few of the kits online via their social media channels some time in the future, so check them out on Facebook<\/a> and find them on Instagram on @bettersurfoz<\/p>\n
