5. Leash – a new one is never wrong!
A leash is often faster worn off than we think. And we believe no one would like to search for his/her board after a wipe-out because the leash broke. So why not get a new one?

A balance board helps you practicing to keep a lower stance on a surf board. Like this you avoid one of the most common mistakes when learning to surf.

8. Water bottle
A thermos bottle, which can keep your drink cool or warm is always a very practicable gift. It is also good for the environment because you avoid single-use plastic bottles. Because everyone can contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle!
9. Golden Ride Magazine
The Golden Ride Magazine is an action sport magazine aimed specifically at women, but we think it’s a fun read for everyone. We especially like the lovely design and the great choice of stories and interviews. The magazine is an absolute asset to tide you over until your next surf trip. And by the way: it’s not only about surfing, but there are also issues focusing on snowboarding, mountain or gravel biking. In the Golden Ride Shop you can also find some lovely designed T-Shirts with surf motives. Here you can order the magazine (in german, though).
Taking care of our ears should go without saying. An ear infection or the typical „surfers ear“ will ruin any surf trip and can hurt quite a bit. So don’t risk it and rather take some ear plugs along!
11. Key safe
Imagine, you come out oft he water and your stuff was stolen or even worse: your car is gone! At many surf spots it’s quite common to leave your keys on a tyre while in the water, but it’s always a risky game. So maybe put a key safe beneath the tree, to lessen the worries on the next surf trip.
12. Surfers jewelry
There are many shops, where you can by lovely and suitable jewelry for surfers. Bracelets or necklaces with small shells, a ring with a wave or fine bracelets without diamonds or much glitter are especially popular. Have fun browsing!
13. Surfskateboard
Thanks to particularly manoeuvrable trucks, you can cruise on surf skates almost as well as in the water while working on your technique. The cruisers from Carver Skateboards in a colourful look, for example, are popular and have been tested by us and found to be very good. You can also try out surf skating on a course with us!
Small gifts that every surfer needs! Every board needs waxs, because otherwise it can get quite slippery. And zink is very important to protect your face from the sun!
15. Books about surfing
A classic, that is always well received! You just need to find the right book, and there you go: you have the perfect Christmas gift.
There are countless great books about surfing: Novels, non-fiction or even autobiographies. Just browse around through the recommendations you find online.
16. Fins
This will make a surfboard even more stylish in no time. And on a longer surf trip, it’s always worth having an extra set of fins to hand in case of lost fins. However, you should know which fin system the surfboard has before you buy new fins. So take a closer look during your next surf session to make sure you don’t make a bad purchase.
It doesn’t matter whether you want to protect yourself at the beach from the sun or take the hat with you for your surf. It is important, to not be in the sun for many hours without protection. You should pay particular attention to the reflection of the sun in the water. This will protect your face and prevent you from being dazzled.
18. Pictures for at home
No one likes empty walls and there are many great artists which will bring the surfer vibe to your home! Their pictures & illustrations immediately lift the mood within your own four walls.
In places where you can surf, there is usually a good cold breeze in addition to the waves! In combination with wet hair this can result quickly in a cold. A cozy beanie can protect you or your friends from that and will keep you warm after your surf session.
