Hey, water athletes! Here's the deal
In San Francisco, between killer waves and epic rides, Dr. Joseph Hardeman, a fellow big wave rider and audiologist, spotted a problem. His surf crew was constantly battling ear issues. Not cool.
While grinding at UC San Francisco Medical Center, Dr. Joe turned his frustration into action. Teaming up with some UCSF brainiacs, he began tinkering with formulas, trying to craft the perfect solution. Tested in epic wipeouts, gusty winds, and icy waters, BigWave Drops are as hardcore as the conditions they were born in.
