Buying for someone who surfs? Keep it simple—get them something they’ll actually use.
From boardshorts and rashguards to bags, coolers, and post-session layers, everything here has been backed by our experts and earned its spot.
In the water, Surfsilk Tijuana and Surfsilk Kaimana boardshorts cover the go-to 4-way stretch builds—light, durable, and made to move. The Everyday UPF 50 Long Sleeve Rashguard handles sun coverage, while the Lookup Sun Hooded Rashguard adds extra protection for long sessions.
For colder conditions, the 5mm Marathon Sessions GBS Split Toe Wetsuit Boots are a solid call—especially for anyone pushing through winter sessions.
Off the board, it’s the gear that keeps the day going. Coastal Tote, Box, and Backpack Coolers for beach setups. Sea Stash Mid Dry Backpack for hauling wet gear without soaking everything else.
Hats like the Forever, Bushmaster, and Pierside Straw Lifeguard are also always a solid option. Adjustable fits mean you can't go wrong on size.
