Hi everyone! Finding the perfect gift for the surfer in your life (or treating yourself!) doesn’t have to mean choosing between style and function. Whether you’re shopping for your surf crew or looking to upgrade your own setup, this guide is packed with thoughtful, practical gifts that we swear by. From everyday essentials to gear that’ll make their next session even better, these are the picks we reach for time and time again—proven favourites to keep the stoke high all year round. We’ve chosen from some incredible independent brands that we love too!
Atlantic Coastal Supplies beach blanket - Cornwall based brand, incredible quality and super big. Keeps you occupied between waves!
Surf’s Up Candle - A beach holiday in a jar. Smells like ocean breeze & sandy coves.
Tekla beach towel - Technically, not a beach towel but absorbent and lightweight enough to make its way into our surf kits!
Barbarian Days by William Finnegan - Winner of the Pulitzer Price and William Hill Sports Book of the Year: Barbarian Days is a deeply rendered self-portrait of a lifelong surfer looking for transcendence. A beautiful memoir of chasing waves across the world.
Roma Surf Shop stainless steel utility cup - Roma Surf Shop based in Cornwall, is arguably one of the coolest things about Falmouth. A carefully curated store home to some of the best brands in surf. These cups are handy to take to the beach / look cool in your cupboard at home.
Ceremonia guava leave-in conditioner - The ocean dries out our hair more than we’d like, so to tackle this we use a leave-in condition as soon as we get out of the water. This one is intensely hydrating designed to leave the strands stronger and healthier. Made with guava, an antioxidant-rich ingredient that creates a natural barrier against UV rays.
Zulu & Zephyr surf suit (warm water) - Made from recycled materials, this one piece is designed for sleek, everyday movement. Super easy to surf in, supportive and let’s face it, looks pretty good too!
Surf Yogi’s surf zinc - Self proclaimed '“OG of all natural surf zinc”…and they’re not wrong. This stuff is brilliant.
Finisterre Drift 35L Waterproof Tote Bag - We simply, don’t go to the beach without this tote. Made from a heavy duty 100% recycled nylon fabric it couldn’t be more perfect for your next surf, or even as a post-surf stand-in to get changed.
Surf Shacks coffee table book - Very chic, very nostalgic. A really beautiful book of surf shacks and homes across the globe.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - Don’t be fooled, this lip treatment is an all layer, not just overnight. it’s the most hydrating treatment there is post-surf! It also tastes great, and adds some shine.
A Hand Laid Eggs surfboard - Max, the owner and shaper over at Hand Laid Eggs won’t steer you wrong with a new board. He’s also a surf coach and so gathers all the important information to be able to work with you to create your perfect board.
