Best Gifts for Surfers

Ranked #168 in Sports & Recreation, #6,831 overall

A great selection of gifts for the surfer in your life

Buying gifts for someone who loves to surf can be difficult if you are not a beach lover yourself. I have put together a list of items that my 17yr old nephew who lives to surf has on his Christmas list.

Surfing books, magazines and DVDs can make great gifts to help pass cold wet winters. Equipment that simplifies heading to the beach is always appreciated and anything that makes a day in the surf safer has got to be good.

I hope there is something to simplify your Christmas or birthday shopping here.

How about a subscription to Surfer Magazine

the gift they can enjoy all year round

This is a great idea for younger surfers who can not afford to fork out for a magazine each month on limited pocket money.

    Surfing is so darn cool, in between sessions why not stay warm with a swim parka ? I'm sure you will not regret it.

    Globalodyssi.com Surfers First Aid Kits, but I'm biased. Great for travel to make sure nothing gets in your way of surfing epic breaks on vacation.

    Some good gifts there, my personal favourite is the waterproof camera. If these take off I predict youtubew is going to be flooded (no pun intended) with loads of surfing clips.

    Looks like fun! I wish I knew how to surf.

    There are also cameras that connect to your surf board so your surfer can video tape his sessions... My boyfriend says he would never use one of these because it's basically uncool. We live in a very territorial surfing city, but if you don't care what other people think, then I think these cameras are cool. My friend has shown me some awesome footage of him and his friends in the water set to music...

  • YellowHammer Dec 8, 2011 @ 3:43 pm | delete
    I would get them an actual surf board, but of course you would really have to know the person. Maybe if you were with them when they made a remark about owning a certain board?
