SURFER'S CHRISTMAS STOCKING Gifts For A
SURF BUDDY
The Sex Wax Surf Stocking comes loaded with surf goodies. This year's holiday deal combines an assortment of surf stickers, Sex Wax chapstick and a mini-sunscreen, two bars of wax—something no surfer can have too much of—and a Pearson Arrow T-shirt. It's a great gift for either a seasoned long boarder or a budding grom. ($32) ARROW SURF SHOP: 2324 Mission St., Santa Cruz, 423-8286, arrowsurfshop.com.
INDO BOARD BALANCE TRAINER Training at home with an Indo Board can do wonders for a surfer's balance, but it might be smart to wear a helmet when just starting out. By planting your feet on either side of the Indo board and balancing over the free-rolling cylinder—think of free-wheeling teeter totter— you'll work your legs, develop a better equilibrium and improve your reaction time on a board, which will translate into improvement in your surf game in no time. ($150 to $279) ARROW SURF SHOP: 2324 Mission St., Santa Cruz, 423-8286, arrowsurfshop.com.
SURFING EAR PLUGS Designed by Doc's Proplugs, a doctor-surfer, to keep water out of your friend's ear canals, it's not just a comfort thing—allowing that cold winter swell to creep into the inner ear causes internal bone growth, aka surfer's ear. So Proplug them up and surf happy. ($9.95) PACIFIC WAVE SURF SHOP: 1502 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, 458-9283, pacwave.com. | JH
