CREATURES OF LEISURE SURFEARS 4.0 | SURF EARPLUGS WITHOUT HEARING LOSS

CREATURES SURFEARS 4.0 SURF EARPLUGS: BLOCK WATER, HEAR THE OCEAN

Most earplugs block water. And sound, balance, and the connection to your surroundings, too. The Creatures of Leisure SurfEars 4.0 do something different: they let sound through while keeping water, cold air, dirt, and bacteria out of the ear canal. The only surf earplug in the world designed specifically to protect your ears without affecting your hearing or balance in the water.

SURFER'S EAR: THE PROBLEM SURFEARS 4.0 PREVENT

Exostosis—popularly known as surfer's ear—is the abnormal bone growth in the external ear canal caused by repeated exposure to cold water and wind. It is a progressive condition: the bone grows over time, narrowing the ear canal, increasing the risk of infections, and, in more advanced cases, it can cause permanent hearing loss and require surgical intervention.

The main cause of exostosis is repeated contact with cold water and cold wind, which makes this condition especially common among surfers, although it can also affect those who practice scuba diving, skiing, and any other sport with prolonged exposure to cold and humidity. Using specific surf earplugs is the most effective preventive measure and the only one that acts directly on the source of the problem.

PATENTED ACOUSTIC MESH: THE TECHNOLOGY THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

The heart of the SurfEars 4.0 is its unique acoustic mesh, specifically designed to block water, cold air, dirt, and bacteria while allowing sound to pass through completely normally. The result is that you can hear the waves, your fellow surfers in the lineup, and any signal from your surroundings without any kind of distortion—exactly what you need to surf safely and with a total connection to the ocean.

Created by Swedish surfers and engineers through an R&D program funded by the state university, SurfEars have been the world's most chosen surf earplugs for over a decade, with more than 500,000 units sold globally.

WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 4.0: MORE RESISTANT, MORE VERSATILE, MORE SUSTAINABLE

Version 4.0 completely re-engineers the SurfEars core and mesh from the ground up. The new Fused Core & Mesh maintains the full acoustic performance of previous versions and combines it with significantly improved strength and durability, guaranteeing a product that lasts much longer. The five key improvements of version 4.0 are a redesigned core and mesh, greater strength and durability, the use of ocean plastics and recycled silicone, a new finless option for greater versatility, and new designs and color combinations.

The new finless option considerably expands the range of use: perfect for wearing under a winter hood or swim cap, for smaller ears, and for those who prefer a lower profile in the ear canal.

RECYCLED OCEAN MATERIALS: PROTECT YOUR EARS AND THE SEA YOU SURF

The core of the SurfEars 4.0 is made with 91% post-consumer recycled plastic, including material collected directly from the ocean. The storage case is partially made with recycled silicone. Because surfers who want to keep surfing have plenty of reasons to care for the water they surf in.

EXPERT ADVICE

"SurfEars are the accessory we recommend the most, and the one most ignored until it's too late. Exostosis doesn't hurt when it starts—it just grows session by session, year by year, until the canal narrows and infections or hearing loss appear. With SurfEars 4.0 there is no excuse: they aren't uncomfortable, they don't block sound, they don't affect balance. Version 4.0 is notably more resistant than previous ones, and the finless option is a change that hood-wearers will truly appreciate. Putting them on should become a habit, just like waxing your board."

CREATURES OF LEISURE WARRANTY — "BUILT FOR THE OCEAN. BUILT TO LAST."

Creatures of Leisure is a B Corp certified company, which means it meets the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. SurfEars were born in Sweden at the hands of surfers and engineers with a clear goal: to create the surf earplug that didn't exist—one that would protect ears without isolating them from the environment. More than a decade later and with over 500,000 units sold worldwide, they remain the surf earplugs of choice for the global surfing community.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Rinse with fresh water after each session and store in the case with the ventilation holes open so they can dry properly.
• Do not use solvents or harsh cleaning products on the acoustic mesh—it can deteriorate its filtering properties.
• Periodically check the condition of the gels and fins: these are replaceable parts that ensure fit and seal over time.
• Use the carabiner on the case to keep them handy at all times—small earplugs have a tendency to get lost between your wetsuit and your surf bag.
