Sea Gods 2024 Holiday Season Gift Guide for Stand-Up Paddle-Boarders Across Canada

For the Casual / Beginner Paddle Boarder

Your causal or beginner SUPer probably just rents a paddleboard from time to time. Or they may have bought a budget board from Costco. Give them a chance to experience what paddle boarding can really be. Blow them away this Christmas by gifting them the best beginner ISUP on the market in Canada - the Diatom Ten6. With dimensions of 10'6" x 34" x 6", this super stable all-around board gets top grades for both maneuverability and stability. That said, if your paddler stands more on the casual side of things, but has more natural skill than an average beginner, consider the best all-around ISUP in Canada - the Elemental Wave. It's our lightest-weight ISUP (If its easy to carry and set up, they will use it more!) and is super stable on the water... 

For the Paddle Boarder Advancing in Skill

Unleash your inner ocean deity with the Sol Flyer!   The shape of this board has a versatile shape with a huge amount of stability near the front and then incredible tracking with just a half step back where the board narrows.  Paddle Boarders advancing in their skill can move forward for top stability and then step slightly back for a smooth, efficient glide. Designed for both performance and style, this board blends cutting-edge technology with stunning aesthetics, making it the ultimate companion for your water adventures. Elevate your surfing experience and embody the spirit of the sea with the beautiful artwork by Eduardo Bolioli, featuring the day-glo tequila sunrise colours and hand drawn Malolo fish. Don’t just ride the waves—own them! Get yours today and become a legend on the water! 

For the Playful Boarder

The Skylla is another amazing 33" x 11' board that provides incredible stability and it's cross between a touring board and an all-around board give it the shape to play with!  A few quick paddle strokes to get up to speed, stability to move your feet around for quick turns, and lots of room for 4 legged friends.  If you boarder wants to do more than chill, this is the board that will give them the confidence to do more and go further.

With the legendary artwork by Drew Brophy, the So Cal anchor who owns it that it is his " job to make things look cool"   You will definitely win style points for this gift!

For the Intermediate SUPer

They're not quite advanced, but not a beginner (below) either. So what do you get a paddle boarder with a couple of years of experience under their belt? The 2024 Carta Marina Touring SUP is an impeccable transition board. The Carta Marina allows your paddler to expand beyond their traditional ISUP into something that can handle more speed and tracking without sacrificing much in the way of stability.  Intermediate paddlers also get more daring over time. Given that they will be stoked to head out into adventure, keep them protected with the Mustang Survival Khimera- a stylish and comfortable PFD that they will actually love to wear.  Great stocking stuffer options include our shoulder carry strap and an action camera mount so they can better record their progressively growing adventures.

For the SUP Folk who want to go Far and Fast

It can be a challenge shopping for advanced SUPers, which is why we're beginning here. As seasoned paddlers ourselves, Sea Gods understands the needs of hardcore paddlers better than most outdoor adventure retailers. We know that your SUPer is probably looking to expand and test their skills on the water for the year/s ahead. This makes the KETOS Racing ISUP an exquisite fit. Highly rated for tracking and speed, this board allows your SUPer to push the limits into the depths of the sea, even if things get a little choppy. Knowing that they'll go beyond the bounds from time to time, consider adding the premium Khimera Dual Flotation PFD as a supplementary gift. For their stocking, include this SUP cleaning trio, something they'll really appreciate as they put their ISUP and wetsuit to task more than most. Lastly (or alternatively), hook them up with the exclusive Sea Gods electric paddleboard pump, which features a rechargeable Li battery for ultimate convenience.

If you're wanting to spread the stoke far and wide, set sail on your next water journey with the West Coast Expedition Board, engineered for explorers and thrill-seekers alike! Whether you’re paddling along scenic coastlines or navigating through rugged waters, this board is designed to elevate your experience and connect you with nature.
