With the holidays just around the corner, many of us are scrambling to come up with meaningful gift ideas for the important people in our lives. We are big believers in gifting experiences as we find it a more personal and meaningful way to let people know how much we care for and appreciate them. 

With that being said, surfers can be very fickle people. We all have the brands we like or the stye of wetsuit or bathing suit we prefer. So gifting for surfers often comes with a high probability of not getting the exact right item. We’ve made it a little simpler for you this year and we have listed our top 5 gifts for surfers in your life. Check it out!

1. Isla Surf School E-Gift Card. This is an obvious starting point. We offer gift cards for all of our surf lesson types, besides summer camp. This is a great gift for anyone in your life who has always talked about learning to surf. We recommend going for a semi-private lesson, that way you can join in on the lesson and share the experience with your loved one. It’s a win-win. If you have a surfer in your life who is struggling or not having as much fun as they used to, this gift card can be a great way to re-inspire them with a coaching session. We can address any problems that may be holding them back and can get them stoked on the sport again! Use code: BLKFRI to save 10% on all purchases until December 10.

2. Seven Day Puerto Rico Surf Retreat with Locals Surf School This is a really exciting gift. Our longtime friends at Locals Surf School are offering surf retreats in Puerto Rico this winter. The retreats are 7 days long and include accommodations (your own room and bathroom), transportation, surf guides, and anything else you would need to have an amazing experience. This is a moment for you to try something new, meet great people, and improve your surfing more in one week than it takes a whole year on the East Coast. There is no better way to get better than a surf trip. And here is the best part, use code: isla125 to save $125 on your retreat! Whether this is a gift for yourself or for you and your partner, this is truly a great opportunity.

4. Surfline Subscription: This one is fairly self explanatory, but it is still a great way to get the surfer in your life something they will use every single day. A Surfline Subscription can make a big difference in their life and adds real value to their everyday routine.

5. Slowtide Beach Towel: Sometimes a simple gift is the best option. Every surfer uses towels, so why not have a super soft and cool one? We are big fans of having a good/favorite towel and think everyone should have one.

Let us know if you have any questions about our gift cards or the Puerto Rico retreat and be sure to take advantage of these discounts! Have a great holiday season!
