In 1986 when surfers were getting blinded by the tips of their boards and surfboard manufacturers and shop owners were concerned about the injuries, the Original Nose Guard was invented. Designed to protect the surfer from nose tip injuries and also to protect the surfboard from dings, different Nose and Tail Guards were added to fit various sizes and shapes. All Nose Guard products are easy to apply using a peel and stick application, and come in a variety of colors. Smart choice for the surfers looking to protect other surfers, themselves and their boards! Red
