Sand and Deliver

Your January Beach Essentials

Well, winter tried. You even wore that nice warm coat a couple of times in solidarity. But hey, if temperatures are about to hit the eighties, it’s probably time to make some January-weekend beach plans. Here’s everything you need, with apologies to the rest of the country.

Trunks Covered in Longboarders
IF YOU’RE STICKING YOUR TOES IN

Trunks Covered in Longboarders

It’s a sturdy pair of mid-length Orlebar Brown trunks completely covered in a photo of some old-timers charging a massive wave. Congratulations. Your entire pelvis just got 72% more scenic.

Mexican Serapes
FOR BONFIRE-ING

Mexican Serapes

It’s kind of great being a little chilly on the sand when huddled up by a blazing Dockweiler bonfire with some people you like... and with one of these Oaxacan serapes hand-woven from merino wool. It’s the hand-woven part that really gets them.

A Comb That Used to Be a Surfboard Fin
FOR CLEANING UP ON THE SAND

A Comb That Used to Be a Surfboard Fin

Your Breakwater session went late and you need to meet a date at Piccolo. Quick: to your pocket, where this colorful little comb made from old surf fins will manage any pressing hair issues. Great. Now remember the 20-minute rule.

Some Gonzo Sunglasses
FOR LONG WALKS

Some Gonzo Sunglasses

Self Edge made a bunch of gold-plated, shatterproof sunglasses to emulate a pair Hunter S. Thompson wore to Cozumel. If you’d like to emulate him in other ways, that’s on you.

A Wearable Surf-Measuring Thing
FOR FUTURISTIC SHREDDING

A Wearable Surf-Measuring Thing

This is a thing you wear on your wrist that records the length of your surf sessions and rides, while notifying you of your wave speed and the conditions at your favorite spots. It won’t make you a better surfer. Actually, it might make you a better surfer.
