Hey I'm brown. I don't even know what getting sun burned feels like.

Re: Sunburnification

I think it just depends on your skin type. i know I can stay out forever and not burn at all. I also keep my tan all year long even though 99 percent of the time I am inside my dark dreary room.

Re: Sunburnification

i burn too...but then after the blisters and peeling go away i have a nice tan. i've had a few usnburns...at the beach bulding a sandcastle for 3 hours..no shirt...no sunblock...yeah...blisters on my back...ouch.

i've got a picture of one of my bad ones. i went to a big outdoor concert last september, and had my hat on the whole day (i usually wear it backwards....more comfortable for me). i guess i didn't even think about it until after...whoops like they say, a picture says a thousand words:

The water doesn't magnify the sun, it mearly reflects a lot more of it then trees and grass do. This results in more sunlight reaching you then normal, hence the easier burn.

Sailing is great fun during the summer. Those frostbite races are nice, but there is something nicer about sailing when the water is more then 34 degrees or so.

Re: Sunburnification

got burnt this weekend, only lightly. But it still only took 10 minutes from me to go from, Irish White Boy to literal Irish (with) Red Neck. Not to mention i had SPF 30 on.

Re: Sunburnification

Last year at the beach I got a sunburn so bad on my arms and back I had such a hard time moving my arms and such... Then while I still had my sunburn and someone who thinks what I do in Robotics is stupid "accidentally" ran into me in the halls and I have so many scars on my back from that that it isn't even funny

Re: Sunburnification

I'm half Mexican and half "Caucasian" so I'm pretty much in the middle as far as skin tone goes...

The only bad sunburn I've ever got is from when I was in Hawai'i, on Waikiki beach in the water for about 2 hours. I never usually burn in such a short amout of time, but I guess Hawai'i is closer to the equater or something! (That never occured to me at the time)

It didn't blister, and it was only on my chest and shoulders. But it stung really bad and I had to borrow other people's aloe gel because I didn't have enough money left to buy my own. At least I rememberd to sunscreen my face. I got more freckles from it.

Re: Sunburnification

i'm puerto rican... yet very very fair-skinned for a puerto rican (my cousins are all darker than me... needless to say i'm a little jealous) ANYWAYS, sunblock is a nice thing to wear. being floridian i like the tan lines (its sort of proof that i live in FL lol) but once at a robotics car wash about a week or so before Homecoming, i had the brilliant idea of not only not wearing sunscreen, but also, i work this pink pucca necklace. long story short, by the time Homecoming rolled around, my back was two different colors; near the shoulders it was white because all of my tan skin had flaked off, but halfway down my back it was still tan... not to mention the nice white ring around my neck--courtesy of the necklace.

...i still have those tanlines...

and as Heidi said, you've got to be careful with sunburns. skin cancer isnt cool, and neither is premature aging. would you rather look pale or look about 20 years older than you really are?

and for my brown-skinned friends... it doesnt matter what levels of melanin you've got in your skin.. you should still wear sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays... you may not end up looking darker, but your skin still takes the heat. (no pun intended)

Re: Sunburnification

I suffered slight sunburnification from a seven mile road hike yesterday. I have a very bad feeling that I will contract a severe case of sunburnification at the nationals, I mean Championship Event.

Re: Sunburnification

I went tanning yesterday because I thought it'd be cute to have a bit of a tan at the Championship event. Well I was in there 10 minutes and now am the color of a tomato from the neck down. My legs, my torso, my back, my "backside", ect ect. I can't sit, I can't stand, I can't walk. Bad Idea. If you see me at Nationals, Do NOT HIT ME ON THE BACK!!! I will hit you with a tetra. Instead, bring me aloe vera please!

Re: Sunburnification

I was sunburned really badly over the summer, and BEMIS can attest to this:


I has blisters over 20% of my back,
I couldn't move my arms more that 20*,
I couldn't sleep on my back for weeks,
I couldn't wear any heavy shirts or jackets,
NOW I HAVE FRECKLES ALL OVER MY BACK!

It hurt.
