Holiday Gift Guide for Surfers

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to find the ultimate gift for the surfer in your life. Here are some top-notch ideas to make their holiday filled with stoke:

1. Private Surf Lessons

Whether they’re new to surfing or looking to refine their skills, WB Surf Camp’s private surf lessons can elevate their surfing to the next level. With expert instructors and personalized coaching, this gift offers an unforgettable experience tailored to their needs.

2. Surf Trip

Give the gift of adventure with one of our incredible surf trips. Whether it’s the warm waters of Costa Rica, the long lefts of Peru, or the stunning islands of the British Virgin Islands, our trips cater to surfers of all levels. With experienced coaches, video analysis, and breathtaking waves, this gift could turn dreams into reality and elevate your surfer’s skills.

3. Wetsuit

As winter approaches, a quality wetsuit is a must for colder water sessions. Depending on your local water temperatures, a 4/3 or 5/4 wetsuit (with a hood) can keep your surfer warm and comfortable in the chillier months. Look for reputable brands that balance flexibility with warmth.

4. Surfline Subscription

Help your surfer stay ahead of the swell with a Surfline subscription. This essential tool provides accurate wave forecasts and allows surfers to rewatch their sessions on Surfline’s cams—a fantastic way to track progress and relive great waves.

5. Surf Watch with GPS Tracking

A surf watch equipped with GPS tracking is the ultimate gadget for wave chasers. These watches can predict tides, connect to Surfline, and even record waves for post-session analysis. It’s a high-tech way to keep surfers connected to the ocean.

6. Changing Towel

Changing towels are a game-changer. These long, robe-like towels make it easy to slip into a wetsuit comfortably and discreetly. Some are even waterproof, so your surfer can stay warm and dry while changing in the rain.

7. Zinc Sunscreen

Stocking stuffers don’t get better than eco-friendly zinc sunscreen. Unlike chemical-heavy sunscreens, zinc protects your surfer’s skin without harming marine life. Look for reef-safe options to keep their face safe from the sun and the environment protected.

8. GoPro

Let your surfer capture their sessions with a GoPro. These durable action cameras are perfect for mounting on surfboards or POV shots to record epic rides. Reviewing footage can also help improve their technique—or just provide some incredible clips to share.

9. Board Bag

For surfers who love to travel, a high-quality board bag is essential. These bags protect surfboards during trips to exotic destinations, ensuring that boards arrive in one piece and ready to ride. Look for bags with extra padding and storage for accessories.

10. Fins

A new set of surfboard fins can completely transform a board’s performance. Fins are an affordable way to experiment with different setups and give a board a fresh feel—a thoughtful gift for surfers eager to fine-tune their ride.

Whether you’re gifting an epic experience, practical gear, or something just for fun, these ideas are sure to bring a big smile to any surfer this Christmas. Happy holidays and happy surfing!
