Picture this: the sun painting the horizon with warm hues, waves whispering promises of adventure, and the salty breeze filling the air. You’ve decided to embark on a surf trip, ready to ride the waves and create memories that will last a lifetime.
But before you hit the beach, let’s talk about what to pack for a surf trip – because a well-prepared adventurer is a happy adventurer.
What to Bring on a Surf Trip
Packing for a trip can be stressful, especially if you are a procrastinator like us. So maybe the night before your flight you might be thinking “What to pack for a surf trip?”. And that’s why a list for a packing can come in super handy! So now, let’s make sure you have everything you need to make this surf trip the epic experience it deserves to be:
Surf Board (if you have it):
Your trusty steed on the waves, bringing your own surfboard, ensures a familiar feel and enhances your connection with the ocean. It’s not just a board; it’s a part of your surfing identity.
Wetsuit (if you have it):
Pack your wetsuit; it’s your second skin in the water. Beyond keeping you warm, it offers protection from the elements, allowing you to stay out in the surf and ride those waves a little longer.
Zinc (if you have it):
Your secret weapon against the sun, zinc is a surfer’s best friend. It shields your face from the sun’s rays, prevents sunburn, and adds that cool surfer-chic vibe to your look.
Poncho (if you have it):
Consider bringing a poncho for changing into your wetsuit. It’s a game-changer, providing privacy and convenience as you gear up. Plus, it adds a touch of practical style to your surf wardrobe.
Bathing Suit or Swim Trunks:
For those times when you’re not in full surf mode, a comfortable bathing suit or swim trunks are essential. Whether you’re chilling on the beach or taking a casual dip, be ready to embrace the sun and sea in style.
Towel for the Beach:
A good beach towel is more than just a piece of fabric; it’s your space to relax, dry off, and soak in the salty vibes after an exhilarating surf session.
Sunscreen:
Protecting your skin is non-negotiable. Slather on that sunscreen to shield yourself from the sun’s rays. This way you can ensure that your surf trip leaves you with memories, not sunburns.
Sunglasses:
The glare of the sun on the water can be intense, so don’t forget your sunglasses. Not only do they protect your eyes, but they also add a dash of cool to your beach ensemble.
Flip-flops or sandals:
Most surf destinations have warmer climates. Bring along your favorite pair of sandals; it’s more comfortable on the beach, and you won’t break a sweat in your precious sneakers.
Sweater or Light jacket:
Even though most surf spots have sunny weather during the day, temperatures can drop at night. In our experience, it’s a good idea to bring a cozy sweater or a light jacket for those breezy evenings by the sea.
