SMALL POUCH
Aloha Collection
SMALL POUCH
Aloha Collection
We’re constantly chasing that perfect place to put our valuables, so let us introduce this multi-purpose pouch. Made from Aloha Collection's signature SPLASH-PROOF® technical material, it’s designed to protect against light rain, spills, and splashes. Why we love it? This pouch keeps your dry gear dry and your wet stuff separate. Founded by Rachael Leinaʻala Soares and Heather Aiu, the ALOHA Collection isn't just about travel bags; it's about the journeys they inspire.
8" W x 6.5" H x 1.5" gusset
BROAD SPECTRUM spf 41
Burnd
BROAD SPECTRUM spf 41
Burnd
Have you ever slipped off your surfboard because of your sunscreen? We have. Numerous times. So we were thrilled to discover burnd. The transparent zinc oxide goes on white, dries clear, and is extremely water resistant (so no slipping!). Here's the science: Higher SPF doesn't mean better sunscreen. Beyond SPF 30, the added UV protection is minimal, while formulas often become thicker and heavier. We think burnd’s well-formulated SPF 41 beats a not-wearable SPF 100 every time.
DING ZAP!
Dr. Falcone’s
DING ZAP!
Dr. Falcone’s
Founded in Rockaway Beach, NY, the flexible patches adhere to rails and flat surfaces, preventing water from further seeping into the foam, while allowing already saturated dings to dry out. It's a quick, easy fix that gets you and your board back in the water. We buy these in bulk and have saved millions of dollars and countless hours of sitting on the beach while our boards wait to be repaired.
- 2 – 3 1/2” x 3 1/2” DING ZAP! patches
- 2 – Alcohol cleaning wipes
- 1 – Sheet of sandpaper
SURF CLOAK KEYCHAIN
Fix Manufacturing
SURF CLOAK KEYCHAIN
Fix Manufacturing
Let us help you avoid that sinking feeling when you pull up at a surf break, the waves are firing and you can’t find your fin key. This keychain has three high-quality tools: a fin hex key, Phillips screwdriver and bottle opener with flathead screwdriver. We’ve attached ours to our car keys, so we can never forget them. Founded by Tony Zentil, a mechanical engineer from Laguna Beach, CA, Fix Manufacturing knows that the best tool is the one you have with you.

Peak Performance Sun Stick SPF 50
Freaks of Nature
Peak Performance Sun Stick SPF 50
Freaks of Nature
As surfers, we have a long list of non-negotiables for our sunscreen: Must not make face too white. Must meet clean beauty standards. Must not run into eyes when surfing. Enter Freaks of Nature Sun Stick SPF 50, co-founded by surfing's OG freak of nature, Kelly Slater. With its microbiome-strengthening ingredients, it leaves problem skin calmer, healthier, and more resilient against other forms of environmental damage.
- 0.70 oz / 20 gr
- 80 min water resistant
- Fragrance free

PALO SANTO WAX “TRIANGLE STACK”
Kassia + Surf
PALO SANTO WAX “TRIANGLE STACK”
Kassia + Surf
Made in California and infused with Palo Santo, a tree traditionally burned as incense for energy cleansing. We love that the bars are shaped into a purpose-built, ergonomically shaped triangle that’s easy to share and is 30% larger than your standard square wax. We’ve been fangirling over the founder and longboard icon Kassia Meador, for a long time, and we only have one complaint: it does not make you surf like her.
- 3 bars in the stack
- Available in 4 temperatures (Tropical Water doubles as a basecoat for colder water.)
PICKLE WAX REMOVER
PICKLE WAX REMOVER
If we had a dollar for all the different ways we’ve tried to remove residual wax from our surfboards, we’d have at least seven dollars. Our lives changed when we discovered the Pickle Wax Remover and we hope yours does too. Founded by Virginia and Douglas Hebert, with a mission to make surfing products that are also environmentally friendly, it’s the only chemical-free dry wax remover on the market. We didn’t have a pickle to rub until getting our hands on our first Pickle Wax Remover, and let’s just say, we’re hooked. Rubbing your pickle is fun. There. We said it.
5-pack Electrolytes
Saltt
5-pack Electrolytes
Saltt
We upped our hydration game especially before and after long surf sessions. Adding electrolytes to water is a game-changer. But not all are created equal. Founded by Chris and Miriam Bair, SALTT (pronounced “Salty”) doesn’t contain any unethical Franken-powders and uses salt from Utah’s Great Salt Lake. Real salt from a real lake! Plus potassium and magnesium, along for the ride. Full disclosure, this text was written under the influence of the Cocoa Loco flavor. Contains: Cocoa Loco, Radical Grape, Blue Slushies, Lemon Lime Twist, Feelin' Peachy
one-month Digital Surf Education Membership
The Surf Continuum
one-month Digital Surf Education Membership
The Surf Continuum
We are better at loving, talking, and dreaming about surfing than we are at actual surfing. And therefore very open to anything that makes us better. We have used The Surf Continuum’s surf instruction library and found it so helpful that we’ve partnered with the founders, Coaches Chris Blotiau and Evan Menen, to provide a one-month membership. Whether you want to build a foundation of the fundamentals, brush up on your skills, or reframe habits that are stopping your progress, Chris and Evan have you covered.

The Surf Continuum
Nothing’s more satisfying than removing the dirty old wax from your surfboard (especially after a bad session and you want to remove the bad juju). The spirits say they have the tool for you: The Surf Squeegee. We’ve known co-founder Chris Blotiau since his t-shirt silkscreening days. It was then he discovered the polyurethane squeegee was great for removing wax from boards. Developed with co-founder and La Mision Surf shaper, Evan Menen, it’s hard enough to get the wax off but soft and flexible enough to get into pressure dings without scratching a gloss coat.

Pandora Decoster
Working between the surfing meccas of France and California, Biarritz-born Pandora Decoster's life has always been steeped in surf culture and art. Discovered at 16 by Roxy, she pursued a seven-year career as a professional surfer while developing her practice as a multidisciplinary artist. Her grandfather was a pioneer in surf heritage preservation and her mother, a painter. Drawing from her upbringing, years spent traveling and surfing, and deep connection to the ocean, her work conveys the contemplative serenity of the seaside, paying homage to her unique journey between waves and the arts.
