Christmas Gifts for Paddle Boarders
Shopping for someone who’s super keen on SUP? This fast-growing sport can seem pretty simple, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of a scope when it comes to buying Christmas presents. Recently updated for 2020, we’ve picked out our favourites below, from the things they’ll desperately want, to the gifts they didn’t know they needed…
Save (Under £35)
£6.95
Paddle boarding can be incredibly scenic and photogenic, but not everyone trusts themselves enough to pull their phone out and get that perfect shot. With Northcore’s Waterproof Phone Pouch, they can keep their phone safe on an adjustable lanyard, and still be able to use their touch screen and camera.
£19.95
You might not have the budget to buy them a new paddle, but you can certainly help them look after the one they’ve got.
Was £19.95, Now £12.95
You can’t go wrong with a nice, warm hat. This one ticks all the boxes and works on and off the water.
£34.95
Inflatable SUPs are brilliant for so many reasons, but they can be a little loud to deflate, so treat the paddler in your life to one of these silent air-removers so you can all enjoy more peaceful trips to the beach!
Spend (£35 - 100)
£39.95
There’s a reason these shoes are so popular. Extremely lightweight with quick-drying materials, as well as being comfortable and grippy. These are indispensable when it comes to paddle boarding.
£79.90
A great option for colder paddles, this hoody is made of stretch thermal fabric. It's designed for maximum freedom of movement whilst keeping the wearer cosy too.
£59.95
Change robes and ponchos have been one of our most popular items this year, and we're not really surprised. They're the best way to warm up on the beach after a session and make getting changed in the carpark so much less of a faff. The big kangaroo pocket on this Mystic robe is great for warming your hands or just storing a few post-SUP snacks...
Was £46.95, Now £37.95
Neoprene leggings are perfect for paddling in the cold. SUP involves a lot of upper body movement, meaning a wetsuit can often be too warm on the torso. These leggings provide a little extra warmth and a lot of stretch.
£98.95
This is a less bulky alternative to a buoyancy aid, enabling paddlers to stay safe on the water with less restriction. Easy to deploy and easy to re-arm, it’s a very practical solution for more serious paddlers. Also available in blue and purple.
Splash Out (Over £100)
£113.95
Designed to fit on a board, this is the ultimate adventure accessory. It’s waterproof with 22 litres of space for all the gear, including external water bottle pockets. The perfect gift for the paddler who’s always going places.
£109.95
Long Johns or Long Janes are ideal for paddle boarding, as they keep the legs and core warm, but don’t restrict the arm movement. The tropical print on this Roxy one will definitely brighten up a cold Christmas morning.
£139.00
Shopping for a serious paddler? Why not upgrade their paddle? A lighter paddle with an improved blade will put less pressure on their shoulders and enable them to paddle for longer.
Was £549.95, Now £384.95
Maybe you’re looking for something for your other half, maybe you’re looking for a gift for the whole family. Whoever it is, it’s time to get them a board. The Gul Cross is perfect as an entry-level board, and it includes everything you need to get them on the water without breaking the bank.
