Many surfers love surfing for its simplicity and low cost: a board, a wetsuit and off you go! But in reality, many accessories exist to improve the comfort or quality of a surfer's session.

 

After/pre-session accessories

 

Brands like ours have developed numerous accessories to anticipate and reduce the discomforts of surfing enthusiasts.

 

Surf ponchos

 

Ponchos have almost revolutionized the surfing world. Whereas they didn't exist at the turn of the century, they are now indispensable for every surfer. They allow you to change in comfort and warmth, without risking exposure to passers-by.

 

 

 

 

Car seat covers

 

Salt water from the sea and ocean leaves ugly, hard-to-remove white marks on car seats. There's nothing like a seat cover for your after-session!

 

 

 

 

Waterproof bags / diaper bags

 

There are two types of waterproof bags:

 

• backpacks, especially useful for carrying a wet suit on a bike or motorcycle, for example.
• Bucket-shaped bags that allow you to store your wet things without damaging your car, for example. And yes, where were you going to put your suit to get home?! If you're interested, we've got the best on the market!

 

 

 

 

Sand brushes

 

It may sound silly, but having the right brush to remove sand from your feet or board before you get in the car is a real must-have! It's especially useful once you've got it.

 

 

Changing mats

 

A popular product in northern countries, the changing mat is a simple accessory for protecting your feet. If you already have a diaper bag, you don't need one!

 

 

 

 

Combination belts

 

To avoid damaging your wetsuit, it's best to store it in such a way as not to put pressure on the neoprene in tight areas. You can either lay it flat or on a stand, or use a dedicated wetsuit belt.

 

Accessories for surfers

 

Combinations

 

Do we really need to talk about wetsuits? They're there to regulate the surfer's temperature in the water so he doesn't get cold. They come in all sizes and thicknesses!

 

 

 

 

Surf tees and lycras

 

Is it summer or are you in a heavenly destination where the sun reigns supreme? Forget the wetsuit, you'll be too hot! Surf tees and lycras are the perfect protection against UV rays and chafing. Surf tees are enhanced T-shirts, while lycras are technical garments that can only be worn in the water.

 

 

 

 

The Salty Belt

 

An invention patented by our teams! The Salty Belt is a simple surfing accessory consisting of a neoprene belt that slips on and contains a plastic pocket for keys, a phone or any other object that needs protecting.

 

 

Earplugs

 

Plugs may seem cumbersome at first. But seasoned surfers know that they become indispensable after a while. After all, surfers often suffer from ear problems. If you only surf for a few weeks a year, they're not necessarily recommended!

 

Key boxes

 

When you're surfing, you might wonder where to put your keys. The old-fashioned technique is to hide the keys under your car. But thefts have rapidly curbed this practice, in favor of key boxes. The latter are safe, but not without their faults. The ideal solution is the Salty Belt presented above.

 

Surf helmets

 

Helmets are the talk of the surfing world. Recently, professional surfer Kai Lenny was saved by his helmet. Without it, he would no longer be with us. Helmets are recommended and are gradually making their appearance on our waves. The probability of catching your board in a fall is low, but never zero.

 

Surf hats

 

A good way to avoid slathering sunscreen on your face is to use a surf hat. They protect your face and the back of your neck. If you plan to surf for more than an hour, this is an excellent investment.

 

Sun creams

 

No hat to hand? Then don't forget the sun cream. It's better to be white and sweaty than to have sunburn all over your face as soon as the sun comes out.

 

 

Surfboard accessories

 

Leases

 

Leashes are used to attach the surfboard to the surfer. They are designed to be durable. Different sizes are available, depending on the size of the waves to be caught.

 

 

Drifting

 

Without them, it would be impossible to steer! Just like on a boat, a centerboard allows you to hold on to the water and steer. They come in all styles and sizes. Soft daggerboards are ideal for beginners, and rigid ones for experienced surfers.

 

Waxes

 

No wax = guaranteed sliding. It's there to keep your feet in place when you're riding a wave. Make sure you choose the right wax for the current water temperature.

 

Board covers and socks

 

Last but not least, surf bags and socks ensure damage-free transport of your equipment. A not inconsiderable safety feature when you consider how fragile boards are. What's more, repairs can quickly add up!

 

So surfing isn't just about boards and waves after all? Everyone equips themselves as they wish, but there are plenty of accessories to make your life easier.
