Andrews Water Sports
Andrews Water Sports, LLC (AWS) is dedicated to providing comfort to aquatic athletes. Our main product, the NeckTech™ rash reducer, was designed by a surfer to prevent the chaffing that occurs around the neck during wetsuit use. This neck rash can be extremely painful, sometimes making it almost impossible to participate in your favorite water sport or activity until the painful rash heals. The NeckTech™ rash reducer is not only for surfers. It can be used by anyone who participates in any aquatic activity that requires the use of a wetsuit. The NeckTech™ rash reducer is worn under the wetsuit to prevent neck chaffing.
Owner's Biography:
Ryan Andrews has been surfing for 15 years. He started surfing in 1994 when he moved from Chicago to Miami. His first board was a 7'3" Matt Kechele fun shape. He learned how to surf in Miami but often took trips to Northern Florida where the waves were consistently bigger and better than in Miami. In 1996, while surfing Sebastian Inlet, he was about to get barreled when he got hit in the face by his board, resulting in 31 stitches below his jaw. In 1997 his mother bought him his second board, a custom 9'0" Clean Ocean Surf. When he went off to college in upstate New York he didn't surf for almost four years except for the occasional waves when he went home to Miami. In 2003 he moved to Newport, Rhode Island and started surfing year round. In June 2008, Ryan placed first in the Masters division of the Rhode Island State Surfing Championship and second in the Masters Longboard division. Ryan enjoys sharing his love of surfing with others by teaching them how to surf. Ryan continues to live in New England and surf whenever there are waves.
