The Bather Gift Guide feat. Surf the Greats

Holiday shopping for a surfer slash skater can be difficult. Because other than a surfboard or skateboard, what do you get him? Lucky for you, we have put together this gift guide with inspiration and gift ideas he's sure to love! For this gift guide, we've partnered with our friends over at Surf the Greats who are year-round experts in all things surf-related. It can be hard shopping for someone whose hobby seems pretty season, but they are sure to appreciate and enjoy one of these gift ideas all year long or even during a winter surf trip.

Every surf enthusiast needs a durable pair of swim shorts. But why settle for durability when you can have durable and stylish? Our Blue Doodle Swim Trunk from our new Resort collection are perfect featuring a cool, abstract doodle design. This design also comes in Peach. And another alternative to those that the surfer in your life may like as well is our Multi Coral Swim Trunk. 

The perfect surf top to compliment the Blue Doodle Swim Trunk is Surf the Greats' Rash Guard. Their rash guard offers the perfect protection from the sun in the tropics, while keeping you cool. 

Stay warm this winter on your surf adventures with a soft toque from Surf the Greats. With a cuffed edge and made of a super soft acrylic, this toque is perfect for chilly weather. 

But you don't just have to opt for clothes! Surf the Greats has other cool and unique items any surfer would appreciate. Pictured above are the Enjoy Handplanes. Handplanes, or handboards, are for bodysurfing and claim to give you increased speed and higher lift! Also check out the DaFin Zak Noyle fins, perfect for getting power and control when you're in the water! 

Books are always a thoughtful gift — something specific to the recipient's interests — so we recommend the latest issue of The Surfer's Journal, or Surf Shack. Both make unique coffee table books, filled with pages of stunning surf-inspired photography and images from around the world, sure to inspire your own #ExcellentAdventure. 

Instead of getting a bunch of small items, like a Surf Key Fob, Dr. Zog's Sex Wax, or sunscreen, and putting them in a stocking, stuff them in the Metamorphic Quartz Dopp Kit to create a full holiday gift bundle! This Dopp Kit won't just hold all the great presents, but can hold all of your travel essentials too!
