The buzzword for any paddle boarder is “waterproof”; We SUP fans go ga-ga for anything that keeps our kit dry. For £9.99, an ideal stocking filler or Secret Santa gift is the Riding Not Hiding key case, which we find very handy because it ensure your key is safe from water damage, should you take a dunk, but this waterproof key case also protects your keys from sand and dirt and allows your keys to be easier to find, whether it’s around your neck or in a larger Drybag. We also think this key case is really handy for cyclists and runners too!
Now, this may seem like a joke, but hear us out! Promise, we are genuinely going to buy these as gifts for our SUP friends… Spare Fin Screw and Plate for a standard Fin box! These are by far the easiest part of the paddle board kit to lose; in car parks, in your bag, or in long grass…grab a couple of these, at £3.49 each, pop them in a pretty gift bag and we can assure you, it’ll be one of the best presents your SUP friend will ever have!

For friends and family that love sea swimming and sea-dipping, walking the dog in the rain, and of course paddleboarding or just hate getting their hair wet! will love the Swimbler bobble hat for 29.99 – this brightly coloured waterproof bobble hat is a winner for big smiles on Christmas day!
As we mentioned before, water lovers get very excited when an already fabulous item gets the waterproof treatment. This hat has a membrane in between the soft fleece inner lining and the snazzy knitted outer hat. So if it starts raining your hair will stay dry, or if your hair is wet, put this hat on to stop the wind chill.
We were totally sold on this when we realised that the bobble is detachable, so if you need to pull up the hood of your coat, the bobble doesn’t get in the way. Having lost many a bobble to the washing machine, we were over the moon to be able to remove the bobble and pop the hat into the washing machine. The Swimbler bobble hat come in a variety of fantastically named colours.. such as this Pink Fizz, We can honestly say, it’s the warmest bobble hat we have worn (and between us all, we have many!). If you have a couple of these hats, you can have some fun swapping the bobbles around too!
For your DryRobe-wearing pal… The DryRobe Compression Travel bag – £30 is a lovely gift for dryrobe wearers, it allows the amazingly waterproof but slightly bulky dryrobe to be more easily packed away for trips away, especially useful when the. the boot is full of the rest of your toys for the weekend fun.
As paddle boarding has taken off, so has the desire to get that perfect photo, but taking your phone on board can be risky and costly if it falls in. This self-sealing case from Fidlock keeps your phone dry but also allows clear vision and full functionality of your smartphone. Apart from taking selfies and beautiful sunset shots, it is very important to have your phone on you for safety reasons too, and there’s room for a bit of cash or payment card to grab a coffee en route.
This one is priced at £24.99, and also comes in a larger size for £29.99.
Another great suggestion for the SUP friend who has everything, including a carbon paddle, is a paddle bag. The eco-bag from SUP Inflatables is made from recycled bottles, is £29.99 and a worthy addition to anyone’s kit.
We can highly recommend this insulated drinks bottle from Red Originals – £25. It comes with both a canteen and a sports cap, so gives you 2 options of either single-handed drinking or using it like a flask for hot drinks. Whether it’s a hot or cold beverage, the contents will stay hot or cold for 24 hours and it will easily attach to the d-rings on the paddleboard for safe keeping and easy reach.
Great for days out, especially over autumn and winter to have a cuppa wherever you go, whatever you are doing.

robes from DryRobe, for anyone who loves swimming, whether it’s at the pool or the beach.
They will definitely keep your little mermaid or merman warm after a swimming lesson. we also use ours when we go camping as they are really handy for quickly drying off and it provides some decency for trips to the shower block, any time of day. There’s plenty of wiggle room to change underneath them, and it’s super soft to throw on when you get out of the water, due to the soft Italian cotton.
