WE have a range of boards from softboards for the beginner, shortboards for competent surfers, longboards for those who love toes on the nose, and midlengths for either progressing surfers or those wanting to join the mid-length revolution. We even have all of our stand up paddleboards on sale for those who love to do it with a paddle.
We know a new surfboard is a pretty extravagant gift so keep reading for lower cost options.
Sticky Johnson Gift Pack or Wax
Every surfer needs wax on a regular basis and they always seem to forget it. Buy it in a handy Sticky Johnson wax gift pack with two blocks of wax, a wax comb, leash string and a handy reusable container to keep the sand and dog hair out. Or just get some surfboard wax

These iconic caps blend style and comfort, making them the perfect accessory for outdoor adventures or casual outings. They have some real unqique statement pieces in their farmyard range.

Carver Surfskate
Out of all the surfskates we've seen Carver Surfskates mimic the actions of surfing the best, are made of the most premium components and have the biggest and best range.
Here's an epic way to kill time when the surf is flat and get some of that surf flow on.
C7 trucks as the original surfskate truck or Cx as a hybrid to give you more balance when performaing tricks but still enough carve to mimic surfing. A good tip is a longer wheelbase can get to a higher top end speed with less carving effort, a shorter wheelbase is more manuevrable in a tight space.

Or if you are after a conventional complete skateboard we have them too.
Bodyboards
Maybe your surfer prefers riding prone rather than standing up or likes to charge heavy shorebreaks when the surf is not quite right.
