It is a bracelet that actually helps to keep the sharks away by sending magnetic vibrations into the water when you wear it.

All surfers normally care about what the tide is doing and when can they surf. We are always checking the tides and counting down the next time we will be able to surf.
A good surf watch is a great gift for a surfer. Not only do we use them when we are not surfing. They also come in handy when we are out in the water. Because let’s face it, we need to know what the tide is doing at all times.
Plus, they are helpful to time the sets and let us know how long we have been exposed to the sun and whether or not we should paddle in or not.
But with an added bonus with today’s modern technology…They can track how much time we spent paddling for waves, how long we rode the waves in, and our maximum speed, just to name a few.
They are much more helpful with tracking a surfer’s performance than they used to be.

This one is mainly for the lady surfers out there. If you are looking to buy something for your female surfer friend look no further than a surf suit.
With all the bells and whistles out there today, hands down this is the number one thing that changed my surf game.
You are no longer worried about fixing your suit in between sets, not flashing anyone as you duck dive. Surfers are now able to focus on the one thing that they should be focusing on, surfing.
Surf suitsare the way forward for female surfers.
I highly recommend trying one for anyone who has not done so yet.
This is a given. What better gift to give a surfer than a new surfer board?
Even if your favorite surfer already has a wall of them, I’m sure they could always use another. And since I’m sure they will know what board will best fit their collection, why not give them a gift certificate?
This is an awesome gift for a surfer that will keep on giving for years to come. New boards are always a win for the surfer in your life.
So why not head down to your local surf shop and see what they have to offer.
The worst thing about surf is when there is none. But thankfully there is now a skateboard that can stimulate the feeling of riding a wave when there is no swell.
It might not be exactly the same thing as riding a wave, but it is strikingly similar and a great alternative when you can’t get to the waves.
Not all of us are lucky enough to have waves year-round, but most of us can find a good sidewalk when there are no waves.
Does the surfer in your life have a little one or a little one on the way? Well, if they do they are most likely going to want to turn them into a surfer.
These surfery rhymes are perfect for them. A cute addition to any family that surfs.
Always protect your face from the sun when you are surfing. It is so important to keep the sun off of your face, but a good Zinc or face paste is not cheap. On top of that you tend to go through it super fast.
So why not gift the surfer in your life, something that will protect their face and keep them looking young?
Manda face paste is the best around and also won’t hurt the ocean.
