10 Over Surf Shop Christmas Gift Guide

There’s something about  Christmas in Cornwall that just hits different. The Atlantic keeps doing its thing, sending in those winter swells while the rest of the world goes into holiday mode. The light gets softer, the beaches get quieter, and suddenly even a chilly coastal dog walk feels a bit festive. Whatever it is, Christmas down here has its own easy kind of magic - a mix of salt, sand, and the promise of a hot drink after braving the cold.

At 10 Over Surf Shop, we know that the ocean doesn’t take a holiday, and neither do the surfers, swimmers, and sea-lovers in our lives. So whether you’re shopping for the dawn-patroller, the cold-water warrior, or the friend who’s always trying to get you into the sea (even on Boxing Day), we’ve pulled together a little festive inspiration to help you find the perfect gift.

For the Winter Surfer

You know the type – hooded, gloved, booted, and out the door before sunrise. Treat them to the gear that keeps them toasty when the mercury drops. Think high-performance wetsuits, solid boots, or that new hood they’ve been “making do” without for far too long. Cold hands and colder duck-dives? 

For the Style-Minded Wave Chaser

Some surfers talk about waves, others talk about rails, fins, and the curves of a beautifully shaped board. If you’ve got a design-obsessed purist on your list, surprise them with something special – maybe a hand-crafted board, a classic fin upgrade, or some fresh wax and accessories for their next session. Not this Christmas. (Plus, board socks genuinely make excellent stockings…)

For the Post-Surf Lounger

Once the session’s done and the kettle’s on, comfort becomes king. Cosy changing robes, soft hoodies, beanies that never leave their head – it’s the perfect kit for warming up after a cold-water dunk. This time of year, even stepping out of the shop into the December breeze feels a little better wrapped in something snug.

For the Ocean-Loving Non-Surfer

Not everyone surfs, but everyone can appreciate the coastline. For the beach walkers, rock pool explorers, van-lifers, and seal-spotters, we’ve got gifts that keep the spirit of the sea alive – from eco-friendly accessories to sustainably made clothing they’ll wear all winter long.

For Stocking Fillers (AKA “I Just Need a Little Something”)

From wax combs and key safes to reusable cups, stickers and all the small-but-useful bits you forget you need until you really need them. Perfect for stockings, Secret Santas, or that last-minute “one more thing.”

Drop In & Get Festive

Whether you’re shopping for someone who lives in the water or someone who just likes to stare at it, the team at 10 Over Surf Shop is here to help you find gifts that last longer than the Christmas leftovers. Swing by the shop in Newquay, have a browse, chat boards and winter surf, and let us help you put a little ocean-loving joy under the tree this year.
