Hello surfer guys and girls welcome to the latest edition of Two Kooks.
As you can see cars changed his hair. He came around to my house for dinner,
saw my haircut and thought it looked cool obviously. Yeah. And he went did a shit job.
You thought I was going back to Brighton but I'm not. He's also put on a bit of weight.
Yeah, got a little bit of a tyre going on. Not enough surfing.
We're back in the Fatum Factory
because we like being surrounded by lovely things.
Yes, and we've also got some helpers... well, not helpers we've got some people
who think we might actually be a little bit good at this and have decided
they're going to improve our photography and filming and sounds.
Thanks you to Joao and Filipa from 'The Outside Crowd' who helped us film this section so if it looks rubbish
basically it's their fault, not ours. Yes, thanks very much guys really really nice to have your help.
What are we going to do today then? We're gonna look at something
that's kind of close to my heart because I've had surfers ear, I've still got it
we're gonna look at a product called Surf Ears and yeah we're gonna give
it a little review
So I've been using Surf Ears for two years now and I haven't had a single
ear infection, Gods honest truth. Before that I did have many problems with
ear infections and what was your history of ears? I've got chronic surfers ear so
basically so yes I've had one ear drilled and the other is on its way
but this product has helped me to delay it. Could you just give these guys an idea
of what it's like having an operation on your ear what happens quickly.
Surfs Ear, yeah it's a pretty dodgy operation, it can go wrong, it's not something you want
to have. You are six weeks out of the water, it's pretty painful. So what happens?
They cut your ear from here and they pull it forward and then they go in with a drill
and they drill out the little tiny bit of bone. So they drill into your head?
They actually put the drill in your head. Are you awake for it? No you are out for it.
Your heads kind of in a vise and so it can't move which is, yeah, it's not very nice.
They have actually improved the operation now. they can now
go straight in without actually cutting behind your ear and that's the way I have it.
So they're just drilling into your skull? Yeah they're just going straight in
getting that little bit of bone out. And these things help help prevent it.
So who has got them? yeah I've got them. Well here we go, surfers ears or surf ears are
pretty cool. So to start let's take this apart.
You've got got various different sized inserts so people with different sized
ears... you can take these off I've got a medium I think... Okay and then this
little pouch comes with small and large of these basically in which fit small
medium or large ears. You have also got these little kind of ear
bits that actually go inside your ear and they hold it in there and that
they're also you've got spares of those that kind of pieces together. But what's
really good about them is... I don't know if you can see it but there is a mesh
here which actually allows sound through so when you're in the water you
can actually... we we can talk to each other you haven't got that kind of
seashell noise in your ear. If I'm surfing with you though I'd rather not...
You'd love a drown me out... I think so it's actually a disadvantage
if you are surfing with Cei. Because I talk a lot... so there are a really really
good product. If you go in your average surf shop there they range from blue tac
type things for a fiver up to kind of a premium product like this.
This comes in at about forty nine... forty nine, ninety five this comes in at. Which might sound a lot
but they are very good and we haven't managed to lose a pair between
us? No and that's partly to do with I think... for me one of the great things is
this little leash that's adjustable, I know that lots of them come with leashes
and stuff but a lot of them haven't got this loop... I don't know if you can see it? All the
way around so you can adjust it and it loops close to your neck. And you can
tighten it inside your wetsuit and it really doesn't go anywhere.
And they've engineered especially... well I don't know about you? If you ever tried
one of these things? Sometimes the this part the loop... it rubs on the
back of your neck or your wetsuit and and it kind of makes a noise you
can hear it in your ear, where as they've actually gone to the lengths of
engineering this thing so that it doesn't make any noise and it doesn't.
You don't know that's there is any sound... , it's amazing.amazing really cool... I was a little bit
worried that it was too thin but they haven't. This is a very
strong feeling cord... pretty clever actually. Yeah, two years... nothing.. One year
for me. And two years and I've had no ear infections.It's literally like the thing that I
would hate not to take down the beach, you know, sometimes you have a mental
checklist of leash, wax, stuff and I'm like Surf Ears because if I went if I do
go in without them I do then... my ears are a little funny
afterwards for a little bit. What about you? I don't always wear them because you
know I don't, well I'm not sure, that's why I have Surfers Ear.
I have Surfers Earl because I don't always wear... Whats stopping you from putting them in?
I forget them and I still, I'm not totally over the whole hearing thing I mean I I
do like having... Do you remember other things in your life? oh I can remember
some things... I remember to avoid you when I get the chance but anyway well
what would we give these out of a 10? Can you fault them in any way? I can fold them
I think they're a little bit too pricey. 49.95 euro. I think that's a lot of
it is a lot money... It is yeah. But there again if you've had as I have
Surfers Ear and you've had the operation and you know how much that
cost if you have to pay for it like you do here in Portugal... and six weeks out
of the water... forty nine bucks doesn't seem like a lot
of money then. Okay I'm gonna you know I'm gonna do I'm gonna take a point off
for the... just broke the case, (laughing)... and mine has broken too...
that the earplugs have stood up for two years they look like brand-new by ones
but the case is well past it, it's gone so if there's an area they can prove... I know
it's not really part of a functional piece but this would be it. I'm gonna
give them an eight. I'm gonna go nine mate because it has saved me a lot of pain
and it saved me a lot of anguish and probably an operation that you've had
that I don't ever want to have. No you don't ,you really don't want to have it guys.
Think of the alternative? Losing ear plugs, not being able to hear in the
water, or an operation... for me it's worth the money, all day, every day. Fair enough, yes,
I'm nine for sure. I'm eight and you're nine. One point of for that, done. Thanks
very much guys we will be back next week with some more fantastic products
we need to look at... hopefully. Well we've got a crazy board... We have got a crazy board..
But more about that later. It's so crazy I don't want to surf it. Dangerous... Thank you
very much and see you next week. Stay safe in the water!
Ciao
