Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who loves surfing or bodyboarding, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift ideas that you can consider. These gifts will not only show your support for his passion but also enhance his surfing or bodyboarding experience. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Surfboard or Bodyboard: A high-quality surfboard or bodyboard would make an excellent gift for your son. Look for one that suits his skill level and preferred style of riding. Consider getting a board that matches his height, weight, and the type of waves he usually rides. Customizing the design or artwork can add a personal touch to the gift.

2. Wetsuit: A wetsuit is an essential item for any water sports enthusiast. Look for a wetsuit that provides warmth and flexibility, allowing your son to enjoy surfing or bodyboarding comfortably in different weather conditions. Consider his preferred water temperature and the thickness of the wetsuit when making your selection.

3. Surfing/Bodyboarding Accessories: There are numerous accessories available that can enhance your son's surfing or bodyboarding experience. These include items such as surf wax, traction pads, leashes, fins, or a board bag. Consider which accessories he may need or if there are any upgraded versions that would make his setup more enjoyable.

4. Surfing/Bodyboarding Lessons: If your son is interested in improving his skills, consider gifting him a series of surfing or bodyboarding lessons. Look for a reputable local surf school or instructor who can provide professional guidance and help him take his abilities to the next level. This gift not only gives him valuable experience but also allows him to connect with fellow surfers.

5. Surfing/Bodyboarding Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a surfing or bodyboarding magazine can be a great way for your son to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, equipment, and stories in the surf community. This gift is not only informative but also provides him with inspiration and motivation throughout the year.

6. Surfing/Bodyboarding-inspired Clothing: Support your son's passion by getting him clothing and accessories inspired by surfing or bodyboarding. Look for t-shirts, hoodies, hats, or sunglasses with surf-inspired designs. These items can be a great way for him to showcase his love for the sport even when he's not in the water.

7. Surf Trip: Consider planning a special surf trip for your son. Find a destination with great waves that he has always wanted to explore. Whether it's a tropical paradise or a remote surf spot, the opportunity to experience new waves and surf breaks will undoubtedly create lasting memories for him.

Remember, the most important thing is to understand and support your son's passion for surfing or bodyboarding. By choosing a gift that aligns with his interests, you can show him that you appreciate and encourage his enthusiasm for the sport.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
