ENJOY THE SURF - WITHOUT RIB PAIN
RIB GUARD FOR SURFING
Share
WE'RE ON A MISSION:
Make surfing all about smiles, not about pain. Together with orthopedists, we've developed a rib guard that keeps you pain-free so that you can focus on the thing you love: the waves.
PROVEN PAIN PREVENTION
Our ribguard prevents rib pain by cushioning the area with high-quality neoprene. Thanks to this additional layer, the pressure on the rib area is distributed more evenly.
PERFECT FIT IN UNISEX
Our orthopedic-grade elastic bands adapt perfectly to your torso's individual shape while leaving you space to breathe. Our Heeru Ribguard is unisex and comes in two size ranges that cover women's XXS to men's XL.
ADJUSTABLE PADDING
To ease back into surfing after a long break, start with extra padding for the first week. This gives you an extra 3mm cushioning. Remove and attach the pads within seconds, thanks to a velcro band inside the pouch.
Let customers speak for us
from 16 reviewsCompletely took away my rib pain I would have after surfing. Thank you.
Great product - helped salvage a surf trip which was in danger of being cut short by rib pain. Very happy!
My boyfriend has a very pronounced rib cage and for that he always had strong rib pain when we were surfing, he had to take many days off and rest! With this rib guard he has nearly no pain anymore, turned his surfing around completely and now we can enjoy all the surfs together again:)
Don’t think twice to get one if you are suffering from rib pain during surfing, this guard helps a 100%!
Ich bin so dankbar, dass es diesen Guard gibt. Ich hatte vor paar Monaten vier meiner Rippen gebrochen und hatte Angst wieder Surfen zu gehen. Ich habe sehr lange nach so einem Produkt gesucht und es gibt nichts vergleichbares. Der Guard sitzt einfach perfekt, verrutscht und stört nicht. Mit ihm fühle ich mir geschützt und das Paddeln ist super angenehm. Ich kann den Guard zu 100% empfehlen. Vielen Dank an die Erfinderin!
Managed to surf for two weeks straight in Biarritz. No pain. Loved it.
I am so grateful for this product! I fractured my rib while surfing and was in too much pain to do really anything that involved pressure on the rib or twisting for a month. But I started to feel a little better and thought maybe I could put a pad under my wetsuit to cushion the pressure while on my board. Then I realized I’m not crafty and have no time so I turned to the internet and found Heeru. Oh my gosh. I got in the water for the first time yesterday and it made a massive difference! It feels secure and I don’t even notice it under my wetsuit. It doesn’t feel cumbersome. It’s the perfect amount of padding. I’m pretty sure I’ll continue to wear it even after my rib has healed to help protect me in the future. I love how this company started- a woman who had a need and solved a problem. Thank you so so much!
This has saved me a lot of discomfort and compromised surf sessions - no more bruises, welts or blisters under my ribs. It gives very good protection and, at least with me, it’s comfortable to wear and stays in position well. In a two hour session with lots of falls and paddling I only need to make occasional adjustments to keep it in an optimal position. I wear it under a rashguard whilst longboarding in Thailand. And now I won’t surf without it.
Amazing quality noticeable right out of the packaging. With a lovely handwritten note. This is gonna come in very handy with my rib protrusion.
Had to get one of these on short notice before my trip. I got it just before and it’s incredibly comfortable and soft, fits super well. The customer service is also incredible and Mira is super nice. I have struggled with this rib pain problem for a while and I am extremely happy it is now resolved and I can surf without pain. Thank you so much.
There aren’t a great deal of rib guards on the market so I was skeptical if they work but this one is well worth getting. I would assume there’s plenty of people like me whose ribs get so sore after a surfing session that it’s disappointingly too painful to surf consecutive days. This rib guard is a game changer, I’m no longer sore at all. Tip: make sure the Velcro it done up neatly so it lines up or it can scratch a little. Quick and easy to put on, doesn’t move around while wearing and I just keep it in my wetsuit or board cover. Great product and Mira is so helpful and friendly to deal with…super glad to support this product.
This rib guard has changed my life! I had these lumps on both of my ribs that were so painful. I found this product and will never surf without it again! I don't feel any pain and am able to paddle with no restrictions. THANK YOU for making this product!
I've been having very intense rib pain from over-pressuring on the surfboard, and Heeru's rib guard allowed me to go back surfing completely pain-free!
I've been using the rib guard consistently for over 6 months and it is still in amazing condition!
Would 100% recommend!
Thank you Heeru!
I got problems with my ribs everytime I got to surf without wetsuit in the tropics. Now I can finally surf again and protect my ribs. Also the service was amazing!! So sweet and really think with you.
after my first ever surf season, when I hurt my ribs on a hard board, I was a bit afraid to come back to warm waters and renew the injury. I invested in the rib guard and it was the best decision ever. it really feels way more comfortable to paddle with it and I didn't have any pain this time.
very good quality, very easy to travel with
Comfortable, stays in plays during use and can be worn underneath rashguard or wetsuit.
