MC Approved Christmas Gift Guide For Surfers
Ever wondered what to get that crusty, early rising, wind forecasting motherfucker in your life for Christmas?
Look no further than the MC Approved Christmas Gift Guide for Surfers. We polled all of our friends like Noa and Craig and Steph about what they wanted, and this is what they came back with. Not really, we didn’t do that, but we could’ve and this still would’ve been what they came back with. And even if you can’t stand on a piece of fiberglass to save your life, I reckon this list would still make anyone pretty happy.
PENTA GOLF
For the surfers that golf and apparently there are a few of you. Golf slaps. Well, that’s what the PENTA guys told me to say. PENTA is an independent golf brand that makes some of the best looking, most well-crafted clothes available to smack that tiny white ball. You won’t get a prickly heat rash walking in these garments. They are light weight, stylish, cool to skin and cool when worn, and not too pricey, which is good because golf is expensive as fuck.
BALLET GRIP CO PIROUETTE LEASH
We like Ballet because they think about things in a similar way to us. Design forward and steadfast in fun. They’re clothing range is immaculate and we own every piece but what we really want in a leggie. You can truly never have enough leggies. Also seen used as a dog leash for those trendy motherfuckers who want to make sure everyone knows they fuck. I mean surf.
SUN BUM MINERAL SPF 50 SUNSCREEN FACE STICK
Get some god damn sunscreen on your face you idiot. Skin cancer isn’t cool, and neither is looking sixty when you're twenty five. The Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Stick are particularly great for a big day flapping about in the ocean, tried and tested by the surfers of the office.
EPOKHE X JACK FREESTONE REPRISE SUNGLASSES
I used to own these sunnies but some bastard broke into my car and stole them. What a stylish, UV-protected, less squinty thief. They are particularly great because of the little gold rose on the side and because they make you much cooler than you actually are. If you’re reading this thief, please give them back.
FCS CHRIS CHRISTENSON FIN COLLECTION
The name Christenson is synonymous with craftsmanship and what better surfing equipment would you want to be crafty than your fins. A beautiful collection for your longboard, midlength or twinny set ups for those who likes things finely tuned. Go on.
BARBARIAN DAYS: A SURFING LIFE A BOOK BY WILLIAM FINNEGAN
If you enjoy reading and you enjoy surfing, then let me recommend you the best marriage of those things in book form. Following the life of William Finnegan, a surfer who grew up in Hawaii and California, this novel taps into the obsessive nature that only a surfer knows as William travels around the world chasing just one more wave.
Some bookshop probably.
VANS SURF HI ST 3MM
No one on the planet looks cool in booties unless they are in the Vans Surf Booties. With dual rubber and split toe these things will keep your tootzies warm as hell so you can surf even when it’s snowing.
YETI RAMBLER COLSTER CAN COOLER
Is there anything better than a ice cold beer after a surf? No the answer is no. Ensure this is the case always with a Yeti Can Cooler. Betcha your mates will try and steal this off you when you get too drunk camping.
NIXON SIREN WATCH
Know what the tide is doing from anywhere in the world while also conveniently being able to tell the time with the Nixon Siren Watch. Made from recycled ocean plastic and built to endure getting slammed into the sand.
FORMER PERCEPTION OPEN COLLAR POLO
I mean all the FORMER range is elite but this little polo number would be my pick. Polos give off the illusion of not trying but that you definitely still know how to throw an outfit together. Just saying.
