As last year, I’ve collected some of my top gifts for surfers. I’ve chosen the ones that I would love Santa to bring me… So, if you’re looking for some Christmas gift ideas for a surfer and just don’t know what to get here are some simple and cool ideas to help you to surprise your wave-riding loved ones. I’ve collected from simple and cheap gifts (but at least for me, meaningful ones) to more expensive ones, from fin keys to surf traction pads, these are, in my point of view, the best 2022 gifts for surfers.
Please remember to support your local surf shop and try to find local products (or, even better, do it yourself).
FIN KEY Can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost my fin key and I only notice that when checking waves and decide to change my fin setup. So, with just 3$ you will make me happy :D Attach a cool personalized string and your surfer friend will remember you everytime he changes his board fins. (AROUND 3€) |

GARMIN INSTINCT SOLAR SURF 2 I know that Apple Watch can do it among so many other things, but I hate the idea of having mails popping in while I’m surfing, and love the idea of not having to charge another device by the end of the day. That’s why I have my fingers crossed for Santa brings me one of this on 24 :) (AROUND €300) |

SURF TRACTION PADS And. of course… our own product. Every surfer has to battle with the negatives of surf wax; re-application, melting, staining… well not anymore. Offer your loved one our surf grip and get rid of that old brown wax sticking everywhere. |

AND FINALLY… MY GIFT TO MYSELF I needed a new winter wetsuit as the old one was deteriorating… after some research, I found the guys from SRFACE and got in love not only with their website but most of all with their moto EXPENSIVE SUITS ARE FOR THE OFFICE, NOT THE WATER That, combined with their promisse that ‘SRFACE Remix is made with 100% Yamamoto #40 (…) Ultimate Heat. Ultimate Flex. Don't compromise. Remix.’ led me to go ahead and offer myself my early Christmas gift. |
