Co-Founder, Martin, was glad to help out with the sponsorship, “Skin cancer affects 2 in 3 Australians by the age of 70. I’ve already had one nasty BCC removed with surgery – so anything we could do to reduce the risk felt like a smart move. We’re keen to be involved with grass roots sports organisations and we’re keen to make sure everybody has the right equipment to get out and have fun in the sun. Having visited the Australian Gateball Championships in Wodonga, I witnessed what a fascinating game Gateball is. It may be quite a quick game, but it still involves a good deal of UV arm exposure along the way.”
Founded in 2018 by three Aussie Dads, Crazy Arms were originally designed to protect children from harmful UV, but soon caught on with the rest of the population. Gateball players, alongside Golfers, Cyclists, Lawn Bowlers, Hikers, Fishers and Gardeners have adopted the fun UPF50+ Sun Sleeves, that come in a variety of colours and patterns. Crazy Arms are lightweight, cool to wear, but made in an ethical way. The premium fabric is made from up-cycled waste, like the ghost fishing nets that are reclaimed from the ocean, and come in fully recycled packaging.
National Coordinator – Gateball Australia, Ros Crowe, agrees that Gateball players love the protection that Crazy Arms provide them, “Crazy Arms have sponsored prizes for several of our events over the past few years and the players love their Crazy Arms. They are cool and light weight and come in colours that can be matched to Gateball team uniforms. We are thrilled with the Gateball Australia branded sleeves which show our new logo. Players from China, Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Macau and Indonesia will be competing at this event. The branded Crazy Arms are a great way for us to promote Gateball Australia’s new logo and a chance to showcase a fantastic Australian product at the same time. If you are interested in having branded sleeves made for your sport, reach out to Crazy Arms.”
