PRESENTS FOR THE SURFER’S HOME

On a rainy afternoon I was browsing the internet, looking for a nice board sock for my new ride. I was dreaming away on the most beautiful hand-sewn stylish board socks that are out there.

There was only one problem: the price. Handmade and beautiful things made under non-exploitative circumstances have their price. Having spent quite some bucks on a new board, fins, leash and so on, I was just not ready to spend another 100 or something on a board sock.

So why not sew my own board sock? I am not a big sewer myself, but pillows and easy stuff are fine AND I own a sewing machine – so: let’s go! Here is how you can make your own surf board sock.

Did you always wonder where to find both beautiful, functional AND sustainable Surf Bikinis?

Check out our favorites this summer. Some of them we got to test ourselves in real-time conditions.

There is a great variety of high-quality surfwear for every mood and every shape, all of them designed with love and crafted under fair and sustainable conditions. Choose well and get wet!

The Bikini is older than you might think – old mosaics from around 400 A.D. show women doing sports in bikini-style clothing. At the beginning of women’s emancipation, there was an on-off between favoring and tabooing that kind of garment, and since it became accepted in most places, it became the most popular beachwear item.

A New Year gives new impulses, ideas and freshness. So why not detox your skin with natural homemade body scrubs? Unfortunately, a lot of Scrubs you can buy (yes, also some expensive ones) contain micro plastics, also known as microbeads. What are microbeads? 

It is almost Christmas! You don’t have a present for your surfing friends yet? Here is some inspiration.

Delicious vegan Cookies in Show-off Shapes, but really easy to make. Suitable for everyone, for every time of the year, and especially for Christmas.

Hop on the beauty board with L:A Bruket’s Surfscrub Soap. The luxuriously hand-made soap bar rehydrates the skin when roughed up by salty waves while a gentle peeling effect (ingredient: Sand) uncovers super-smooth texture.
