Chrissy is just around the corner. Are you prepared?

If you answered: A. Of course! Than pandemic has given me ample time to ideate and procure an extensive list of gifts for my friends and family.

Congrats! You’re kind of an asshole, but congrats.

If, however, you answered: B. I’m getting to it, I swear!

We’re here to help. Especially if those on your list have a penchant for a specific aquatic activity known colloquially as “surfing”.

In the video above, our big little elf-in-training, Danny Johnson, breaks down Christmas gifts for surfers into three distinct economic categories.

Nobody hates wax in their stocking. Unless of course you hang the stocking by the fire and the wax melts all over everything. A lot of people would hate that. Photo: Moody

Cheap Gifts ($0-80) “Maybe you’re poor, or you don’t really care about the person you’re buying for.”
– Fu Wax
– Rage traction pad
– Standard Procedure sunscreen
– surfy tee

Medium Gifts ($80-200) “The surf accessory zone, for consumerist surfers everywhere.”
– Subscription to Stab Premium
– FCS fins
– Futures fins
– Octopus board bag
– Creatures wet bag
– Creatures dry bag
– Vans commuter tote
– Vans booties
– Changing mat
– Gath helmet
– Drag webbed gloves
– Lander skateboard

Expensive gifts ($200-200000000) “For the fat-cat with money to burn, or maybe you cheated on your partner and need to cover up the guilt.”
– new surfboard
– new wetsuit
– GoPro Hero9
– Surf trip

But as Danny explains above, the best gift is a subscription to Stab Premium. It’s our brand new subscription service, and it gets you access to all of Stab’s films, things like the new Andy Irons documentary which is coming soon, all the Stab in the Darks, Surf100s, etc., plus all the weekly premium editorial and news articles covering all the sexy things that happen in surf.
