Answer 2

It is called a rash guard. It protects  your chest from getting a "wax rash" A wax rash is a rash you get from putting wax on your board. The wax keeps you from slipping off you board when you stand. The wax repels the water which makes it safe to stand on. But when you lay down on a board for a bit, you tend to rub up and down with the motion of the waves and friction happens and wax and skin are not compatable and it causes a simple rash. Nothing dangerous or serious, just hurts like heck especially on your nips!

Answer 3

It could be referring to a rash guard, or a wetsuit. Rash guards do just that - they protect your skin from a rash.

A wetsuit traps a small amount of water between your body and itself, and then your body warms that little bit of water, creating your own personal little hot tub.
