Let’s be honest – buying gifts for the surf girls in your life can be tricky. Sure, socks and candles are safe, but if you really want to make her smile (and maybe even improve her surfing life), you need something a little… different.
This year, we asked ourselves and our surf society – what would make a surf girl’s dreams come true? The answers were equal parts practical, hilarious, and magical – from a wetsuit that dries faster than you can say “dawn patrol,” to a boyfriend who finally films your surf clips properly, to a wave-prediction crystal ball (because sometimes, she just needs to know).
So, whether you’re chasing the perfect set wave, untangling salt-streaked hair, or sipping a post-surf coffee while checking the tides, we’ve got you covered. Here’s our ultimate, cheeky, surf-approved gift guide, guaranteed to make any surf girl grin (and maybe even improve her waves).
