The same question every year: What should I get as a present? We have a few suggestions to make windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts happy!

It could be so simple: a few hours of good wind can make any windsurfer happy. "Here you go, a voucher for 25 knots from the north-west, redeemable at any time!" - and the annual search for Christmas presents would be over. But unfortunately, our favourite force of nature can neither be planned nor given as a gift, so we have to look for alternatives. We've had a look around and show you a wide range of gift ideas for windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts!

The ultimate changing bucket

The Exit-Buxx is the surf editorial team's favourite: almost all editors transport their neo, harness and other gear in this waterproof bag. Enough space to stand comfortably, comfortable padding at the bottom, and everything is practically together in one large bag. The bucket is super easy to stow away and offers space for several neos and accessories if required!

Omhu from Hvide Sande collects plastic waste from the beaches around the Danish holiday resort and turns it into great accessories: key rings, coat hooks, jewellery, bracelets and other small items. There are also tree decorations to match the Christmas season. A special feature for SUP paddlers is a small hook for collecting rubbish, which can be attached to paddles using Velcro. At the IFCA World Championships in autumn, Omhu also made the medals from melted marine plastic. There is a large selection to choose from, and any surfer would be delighted to receive a gift that also does something good for the oceans. Shirts, caps and jackets are also on offer!


JayKay E-fin for SUP

Crosswinds, headwinds and long distances - suddenly lose their terror on the SUP. Electric assistance brings the idea of the e-bike to the water. And just as e-bikes "iron out" any incline electrically, the electric drive of the Jaykay e-Finn is designed to ensure safe progress and, above all, a safe return even in adverse conditions. Especially in difficult conditions (headwind, crosswind, wavy water), when progress is difficult, the motor pushes continuously. This also helps you to stay on course and you don't immediately go backwards when paddling into a headwind.

O2 Surftown MUC, the largest wave pool in Germany, opened in Erdinger Moos near Munich in autumn. "Here you can experience an authentic surfing day with perfect waves, an enthusiastic community, a friendly line-up, support from coaches and quick learning success in a safe environment," promise the operators. In October, the German World Surfing and Wave SUP Championships even took place there. Vouchers for a session are the perfect gift, you can choose between Beginner, A-Frame or Pointbreak mode.


For van life: sleeping bag, blanket and poncho in one

Space is tight in many surfer vans, and bedding and jackets in particular are indispensable, but bulky. The ingenious Bentcho from BENT is just what you need: a sleeping bag that can do much more than just keep you warm at night. This all-rounder can be used as a blanket for snuggling up or chilling out (200 x 160 cm) as well as a sleeping bag (200 x 80 cm), and can also be combined for nights in for two thanks to the all-round zip. The bentcho also comes with a poncho function: simply button on the included hood and you'll always stay warm, even on the beach! A reversible bag (59x31x20 cm) is also included, which you can use not only for your luggage but also as a super-soft pillow.


"Piss Off": detergent for the Neo

What does such a gift say about the recipient? In this case, the name is meant rather tongue-in-cheek, because the product cares for wetsuits and removes unpleasant odours, whether sweat, algae or ... well.

The Amazfit T-Rex 3 (>>available here) is a successful further development of the previous model and continues to offer a wide range of useful functions in a slightly larger and even more robust-looking housing, which is also very comfortable to wear during sport thanks to the soft, flexible wristband. The watch is now also compatible with Komoot, so that all sporting activities can be tracked!


Protection for the ears

The ears suffer in cold water and cold wind, and in the long term there is a risk of a painful "Surfer's Ear". With special earplugs like the "Surf Ears", your ear canals stay clear.


Cosy bath poncho

Freezing through in the car park, holding the towel wrapped around your hips while you pull up your pants - you can save yourself the trouble. A cosy poncho will keep you warm and dignified. And the poncho from Decathlon also stands out visually!
