20 windsurfing gift ideas
Finding a Christmas, birthday orFather’s Day gift that really pleases is never an easy thing to do. But if you are reading this article, it is because you know what interests the person you are targeting, that you are a least a little interested in his passion and therefore… that you are on the right track. We have set up several “gift idea” departments on the site for the occasion.
Oftentimes, the interested party often leaves out very practical accessories that he looks at but does not gethimself thinking “that’s what’s more set aside for a wing / board”. Realistically, you are not going to offer him a windsurfing sail or a surfboard. Luckily, there are a lot of simple accessories that are great gift ideas.
So here’sour approach:
Do you agree that the windsurfer values his equipment as much as the apple of his eye (maniacal tendency)?
However, he lacks accessories that improve comfort and/or take care of his equipment (covers, etc.) because he postpones these purchases until later.
By choosing an“accessory” gift linked to his passion, you will show your interest in his mostprecious passion.
In our opinion, this is where the pleasure of offering and receiving lies: attention beyond the object.
Don’t you agree? Here are our suggestions! Enjoy reading!
Windsurfing art
In the art world, it is necessary to distinguish between paintings, original artworks and reproductions. Indeed, it is the original painting that is unique.
What is an original artwork ?
We will give you our definition of windsurf artwork, which corresponds more or less to the art market in France. It is a unique work created by an artist. There is therefore only one copy in the world. It is nevertheless possible to make reproductions of this artwork on paper or canvas, but the latter will befar lessvaluable than the original.
In the windsurfing gallery, you will find originals on canvas and paper.

2 – Heavy-Duty Surfboard Roof Rack
Like many windsurfers, you have several boards, and you know that it is not always easy to transport them by car, so here is THE solution!
Securely holds 1-3 shortboards or longboards on top of your vehicle (depending on thickness)
UNIVERSAL FIT FOR CARS, TRUCKS, AND SUVs: Simply run straps through vehicle and tighten to hold rack pads in place NO ROOF BARS OR GUTTERS REQUIRED: Straps directly onto your vehicle’s roof with no additional equipment needed PROTECTIVE COVERED BUCKLES: Each metal buckles is housed in a thick silicone shell to prevent scratches CORROSION RESISTANT FOR SALT WATER: Heavy-duty metal buckles for all weather conditions
Customer reviews :
Pretty good product for the money. Does the job for now, until I save up enough for a proper roof rack. If it lasts longer than I expect, all the better. It’s easy to figure out, but like others have mentioned, the included instructions are not at all helpful.
This is a really good soft rack for me. I have a 2 door Honda without a built-in rack and have been using pool noodles with moving straps. This is much easier and super reasonable. Very east to install, too.
If you live in California and want to drive around with your surfboard, this is the best option. I used to use a real roof rack and straps on my old car, but that took a while to setup and was not always secure. With this one, you can easily place on the pads and strap on the board without a hassle.

Customer reviews :
Great instrument for measuring air flow from your HVAC vents (and many other things, I’m sure). Read the user guide before you attempt to measure air flow volume, though.
This is a clean good sturdy unit with multiple functions, I am very pleased with this product. It is easy to use and robust and works great. I use it before windsurfing in the ocean to measure wind speed in knots.

Great vest. Very comfortable with nothing that restricts movement. It also keeps you floating better than other neoprene (impact type) vest I’ve used.
Great vest but really sizes small. Do take chest measurement and check Dakine chart. I wear a medium/large shirt and XL is still a tight fit.

I love these and have ordered them several times (in different colors). I’m in the ocean several times a week so I use these a lot when surfing. It takes off the sun glare on the surface of the water, wicks easily and allows me to stay out longer because my eyes don’t hurt so much from the sun reflections.
Excellent purchase. They are very comfortable and keep the wind out of my eyes while riding

I can’t believe I didn’t know about these sooner!!! I (we – my husband also got a pair and loved them) bought these to take on our Mexico beach vacation. I’ve brought other water shoes before, and while good for excursions and such, they were not good for just walking on the beach because they would quickly fill with sand.

I love these! They are great in the water, I love that they are easy to get on wet or dry. You can tighten them or loosen them. I am going to buy a second pair.
Wonderful! I climbed falls in the Caribbean and went through rick, mid, water and sand. No issues at all. They were so comfortable I used them the whole trip around the cruise ship and ports. 10+. Thank you!
Intended to be used for water classes in shallow water. I needed some support and protection. For the price these are great. They hug my feet and provide some cushion between my feet and the concrete bottom of the pool.

16 – Windsurfing Kindle Edition
Customer reviews :
I have spent the past year getting back into windsurfing and have been slowly progressing, but was making very little headway in the area of waterstarting.
This is a beautifully illustrated and detailed instructional book for beginner to advanced windsurfers. The pictures are in sequence which helps the descriptions of “tacks”, “gybes” and other moves.
17 – Best of Windsurfing “10”
Customer reviews :
Seller did exactly as promised. Product as described. Very happy. Would buy again.
