Surfer here. I was on the water for HOURS almost everyday in the summer for years in the 90's, no eye protection. I would just base tan and experienced no burn for the entire summer. No problem.


Now, however, the sun stings my skin and I agree it is white, no yellow like in the 90's. My dad, an MD and resolute skeptic, agrees something is up with the sun since he concedes his skin stings too while in the sun.
