🎄 12 Christmas Gifts for Surfers This Year 🎄
Christmas is coming, and if you’ve got a surfer (or ocean-lover) on your gift list, you’re in luck. From must-have surf accessories to cosy post-session essentials, we’ve rounded up 12 surf-approved Christmas gift ideas that will put a smile on any wave rider’s face this festive season.
1. Circle One 3-Piece Surfboard Traction Pad
A stocking-filler that makes a big difference in the water. The Circle One 3-piece traction pad is constructed from premium EVA foam with a super-strong 3M adhesive backing to keep it locked in place.
The diamond cut grooves increase surface area for maximum grip, while the central raised arch bar and 25mm tail kick give confidence and control through turns. Suitable for both surfboards and skimboards, this is a practical gift every surfer will appreciate.
2. Circle One Classic Surfboard Leash
Our classic Circle One leash is back and stronger than ever. Made from 7mm stretch urethane for durability and strength, this performance leash is trusted by everyone from beginners to competition surfers.
The ultra-comfortable padded ankle cuff means it stays secure without irritation, and it comes in 100% plastic-free packaging, a win for the ocean too.
Buying tip: choose a leash roughly the same length as the board (or slightly longer).
3. FCS Compatible Thruster Honeycomb Fin Set
A perfect gift for surfers looking to fine-tune their setup. Based on the popular FCS M5 template, this thruster fin set is compatible with FCS I and FCS II systems.
The honeycomb hex core construction delivers lightweight performance with a balanced mix of speed, drive, and manoeuvrability, making it suitable for everything from beach breaks to point waves. Available in four colours to match any board.
4. Quick Release SUP Leash Waist Belt
Safety-focused and thoughtfully designed, this quick release SUP waist belt is ideal for paddlers heading into moving water or open conditions.
Compatible with Circle One SUP leashes and most others on the market, it features a durable emergency quick-release system, premium materials, and a comfortable, secure fit, peace of mind wrapped up as a Christmas gift.
5. Circle One Hooded Towel Changing Robe
A beach-day classic. This hooded towel poncho is perfect for getting changed discreetly, warming up after a surf, or throwing on for the journey home.
Made from thick, soft towelling, it dries you quickly while keeping the wind off. With a relaxed fit and cosy hood, it suits a wide range of body sizes and comes in navy or green.
6. Circle One All-Weather Beach Changing Robe
For year-round surfers, this is the ultimate upgrade. The Circle One fleecy changing robe features a waterproof and windproof outer with a fully sherpa-fleece lined interior, including the hood and sleeves.
Designed for changing under, warming up post-session, or even driving home in, it includes zipped fleece-lined pockets, internal storage, and a durable two-way zip. Built tough for kids and adults alike.
7. Men’s Short Sleeve Lycra Rash Vest
Ideal for surfing, SUP, kayaking, and open water swimming, this men’s rash vest offers UPF 50+ sun protection and protection from abrasions.
The soft, heavy-duty lycra minimises rubbing under a wetsuit and works just as well worn on its own. A practical, everyday gift that will see plenty of use.
8. Women’s Short Sleeve Lycra Rash Vest
Inspired by the Kona wetsuit range, this women’s rash vest combines performance and style. Made from robust, comfortable lycra, it provides UPF 50+ protection and looks great both under a wetsuit or worn solo.
Designed for a snug fit, size up if you prefer a looser feel.
9. The Razor 7ft 6 Surfboard
Looking for a show-stopper Christmas gift? The Razor 7’6 is a seriously versatile board that suits beginners through to experienced surfers.
With refined nose and tail shaping, generous volume (46.37L), and excellent paddle power, it performs in messy surf while still holding its own in cleaner, bigger waves. A guaranteed fun-factor board.
10. Pulse EPS Bodyboard (33”)
A brilliant gift for kids or first-time bodyboarders. The Pulse EPS range from Australian Board Company features a high-density EPS core, durable XPE deck, and HDPE slick bottom for smooth riding.
The 33” size is ideal for smaller riders learning the basics.
11. FCS Fin Grub Screws (Set of 6)
A small but essential stocking filler. These grub screws are required to retrofit fins into FCS II fin boxes, making them a handy spare for any surfer’s kit bag.
12. Circle One Surf Co Gift Card Voucher
Not sure what to choose? Let them decide. A Circle One e-gift card is the perfect last-minute present and can be redeemed online across the full range of surf gear, accessories, and beach essentials.
Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned charger, a summer beginner, or a cold-water regular, these 12 gifts cover everything from time in the water to warming up afterwards. One thing’s guaranteed, they’ll be thinking of you every time they paddle out.
