About Baggin' Rays

Baggin' Rays' story begins in 1982 when our founders first put a name on bronzing in Isla Vista. The term was commonly used within select groups, but never caught on mainstream, thankfully. The founders of our movement also wrote a small draft of "Baggin' Rays, the Book." This included all the best ways to get out in the sun (according to them).

The main focus here is that sunbathing, tanning, bronzing, bagging, will help all people of the world including all skin types and colors (with very few exceptions: ie albinos). 

That being said, our Founders overdid it in the 80's and 90's, leading to widespread skin cancer and carcinoma amongst Boomers.

Taking the undeniable benefits of vitamin D contrasted with the daunting risks of skin cancer and wrinkles can be very confusing. We will admit, we were confused as well. Thankfully, using the foundation of our elders and learning from their mistakes with overexposure allowed us to use a common sense approach involving moderate sun-skin contact combined with outdoor activity. Experienced baggers often revert to other elite tactics such as wearing long sleeves, big hats, and sunscreen.

After uncovering old, buried secrets, younger members thought it was the perfect time to rejuvenate the tanning club in Isla Vista. Especially with the return of the original heiress of baggin' rays, Moroccan Mami. Her, and others' message was simple: Catch rays and spend time sunbathing, but always protect your skin from burn. Thankfully this extremely moderate and relatable approach has resonated with thousands across states lines. From California to Maine, every single person can use a ray a day to keep the doctor away.

We are hoping to spread our message beyond the young, college community, and show that Baggin' Rays could have enough reverberations on the way we talk about tanning.
