There’s a saying that goes “Basta surfer, sweet lover,” and if there isn’t then it should totally be a thing.
Whether the surfer in your life is only just starting out or is already a staple in the line up, whether they’re a friend, lover or relative, the holidays are the perfect time to gift them for the love and good vibes they give you all year round. Surfing is, after all, a pretty pricey lifestyle when you add everything up, and the surfer in your life would love support in the form of any of these.

Even non-surfers can attest that sunburn sucks. Save their skin by getting them ample protection from spending hours under the sun.

For orders you can email zinkeph@gmail.com or send a message to 0998 998 4303.

Apart from a brand new board, a tide watch is one of the best things you can give a surfer, especially one who checks the forecast as often as they check their phone. Help them stay on top of the swells, storms and other spells by getting them their updates on their wrist. Quicksilver or Nixon have great options for around P5,990 and up.
