We Picked Out the Perfect Presents So You Don’t Have To
You aren’t the best gift giver. Yes, I said it. People who surf are great at a lot of things, though. You can probably name the tides any given day. You likely know the best sandbars up and down your local beach. You can recite your dims by heart and can talk about boards until the cows come home.
But what an awful lot of surfers can’t do well? Find gifts that aren’t only related to the sport you love. Luckily, you don’t have to leave the safe space of your favorite surf shop to get your holiday shopping done this year. We’ve carefully compiled a list of our favorite gifts of the season, for your favorite surfers or whoever else may be on your list.
Tried and true, the original Bethany Hamilton Stoked Perfume has been a top seller of the shop year after year, and it’s no wonder why. Sweet, crisp, with the scent of summer and charming packaging to boot, we can guarantee that any of the women in your life would be well…Stoked to get this perfume in their stocking. As a special bonus, we’re offering a .25 oz mini bottle of perfume free with any Bethany purchase.
2) FCS Pod x Shark Banz Deterrent Magnet
Now this one may seem like a gift for the worrywort…but hear us out. Florida is host to the shark bite capital of the world. The entire world. Australia takes second place to the Sunshine state, mostly thanks to our neighbors to the south: New Smyrna Beach. So if you could wear a convenient shark repelling band to reduce your chances of being bit, why not? Sharkbanz Tech is based on proven science, published research, and testing conducted by the Western Australia Government, NOAA researchers, and is verified by an independent third-party university.
There’s a reason why these teal and blue arches dot the coastline any given day of the summer: they’re easy to use, lightweight, and functional. Get tons of sun protection for your beach day with Shibumi, all you need is one pole and a little bit of wind. With a canopy made of 40% of ocean-bound recycled plastic bottles, these tents are better for you and better for the beach.
4) Surf Station Artist Series Tees
Whether it’s a gift for a surfer or not, anyone can get onboard with supporting a local business. The Surf Station takes it one step further by collaborating with small businesses owners and local artists to create our one-of-a-kind tee designs. Who knows, the guy or gal working behind the counter may even be the artist behind the tee you’re taking home.
5) Solite Convertible Surf Hat
It’s the surf accessory that your favorite waterman (or woman) didn’t know they needed. The Solite Convertible Surf Hat stands out from your standard surf hat, with a visor that can be strategically flipped to the front or the back, depending on what sort of protection you need. If you’re duck-diving, then flip the bill to the back or if you’re waiting for the next set to come, then you can flip it back around to shade your face from the sun. It’s light, functional and can extend your session even longer. And isn’t that what we all want by the end of the day?
