Have you ever traveled south of the border in search of the perfect wave… only to get absolutely destroyed by the bugs?
I have.
For years, dawn patrol sessions in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and mainland Mexico meant my feet and ankles would get eaten alive. By the end of the trip, the bites had bites. Swollen legs, nonstop itching and scratching … not exactly the surf trip vibe.
So I started researching and experimenting.
After testing different oils and essential oil blends over multiple trips, I finally landed on something lightweight, surf-friendly, and surprisingly effective for tropical coastal conditions.
I call it OCHO SURF SAUCE™.
Small-batch, coastal skin oil, crafted from natural oils and essential oils.
- Made with natural oils and essential oils –
- No synthetic fragrances, additives or coloring
- Warm, musky, after-surf scent.
- Designed for dawn patrol
- Made in California.

This is the dreaded MIDGE.
Tiny. Silent. Relentless.
If you’ve surfed tropical beaches at sunrise or sunset… you already know.
Fortunately, he’s not a fan of OCHO SURF SAUCE™.
Añejo & Silver
Añejo is the golden blend — natural oils with a little more absorption and a lighter feel on the skin. Less slippery if any gets on your board.
Silver is the classic coconut-based recipe.
