Very friendly service!! I was surfing for the past 3 weeks wearing the rib guard and I would say it gives very good protection for the ribs. I was struggling with broken ribs because of surfing and now could just feel a little bit of pain (but maybe that’s even normal) and I think without the rib guard it would have been way worse.
Good product but:
The straps could use some padding between skin and Velcro. Also additional optional padding for the pocket would be useful
Used twice then both Velcro straps came off. Will be seeking a refund when I get back home. Very disappointed in the quality for the price I paid, completely unacceptable.
Hi Daniel,
We are truly sorry this happened to you. As discussed via email we're happy to know you were able to find a crafty solution, sewing the piece back on. Thank you again for pointing out the issue, this is the first time this happens and we gave feedback to our strap producer here in Germany.
Best,
Mira
My ribs used to hurt a lot while surfing. Nevertheless, this gadget saved me and now I can surf for hours without feeling any kind of pain. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I was looking for something like this everywhere - until a read the name Heeru at some Reddit thread about surfing rib pain.
I started surfing just over a year ago, and during one surf trip I actually had a rib fracture. Of course I let it heal properly, but when I got back in the water after few months, and after a few very intense days the immense pain would come back. And I was not the only one: half of our surfcamp had the same pain! I honestly though surfing is over for me. And then I ordered heeru, and this miracle came to me just before Christmas, with the hand-written note from the founder, which melted my heart!
I am so grateful this guard was invented and I can enjoy surfing again. It is very simple and comfortable, stays in one place, doesn't look ugly under the wetsuit, and gives me so much confidence in the water! Thank you!
