Really great idea - has helped me a lot

I've been unable to surf for 6 months due to torn intercostal muscles. This product has helped me get back into the water - really great idea and good quality too.

It won't hurt (to try it)

For 10 years I paddled out a 1/4 mile to surf a spot called Tunnels on Kauai. I developed surf bumps on my ribs along with quite a bit of pain after each session. Over the years I have tried many products, including home made ones, such as taping bubble wrap around my rib cage before putting on a wetsuit. The ultimate relief though came from using a Wake Board Impact Vest. The wake board vest is very bulky so I figured "It won't hurt" to try Heeru. The Heeru is designed perfectly as far as the shape and fit. It is also made well and very light weight. However, it does not provide enough SIGNIFICANT protection. Just better than nothing. So I added more padding into the slots to give it more cushion. I only wear it under a wetsuit so it will stay in place. I can't imagine trying to use it alone without the wetsuit, this holds it and hides it and prevents everyone in the line up from asking me if I was in a car accident. If you are in the Tropics just buy a 1.5 mill sleeveless Short John to pair with it and place a front traction pad on your board. The whole ensemble should provide you with the ultimate protection. Love to Heeru for their mission to Njoy Sur'n Without Pain.

Worked great!

After a long break from surfing, I spent a week back in the water. In the past, such an intensive return would leave my ribs sore, sometimes feeling bruised and uncomfortable for weeks afterward. This time, however, I tried a rib protector, and it helped a lot.

The rib guard provided a comfortable, secure fit, allowing me to paddle without any restriction. It really made a noticeable difference, protecting me from what would typically be a painful aftermath.

If you’re a surfer who struggles with rib pain after a long session or returning from a break, I highly recommend this protector. It’s become a staple in my surf gear, and I’m genuinely glad to have found something that allows me to enjoy the waves without worrying about discomfort.
