Summer is fast approaching, but just before we launch ourselves into the sunny adventure days, let's get ready for Father's Day.
To help you get prepared, we've picked our top 5 brands for gifting this season.
1. Dakine
The brand that is never quite done. With a foundation built on over 39 years of innovation, they're still at it. They live it, build it, test it, improve it before finding new ways to do it all over again.
For the practical dads we recommend getting them some new roof rack pads to safely get their equipment from A to B. There's plenty of different sizes to choose from so it you should be able to find the perfect fit.
If you're after something for the dads who seem to have everything they need, gift him that summer feeling with the help of our Surf hats.
2. C-Skins
Looking for a gift that is crafted from cutting-edge technology? Look no further. C-skins creates products that deliver on warmth, fit, flexibility and durability.
Now, with the sun shining, it's time to get to the beach. Protect the dads from UV rays with a rash vest and maybe treat him to the new storm chaser drybag to keep all his things in one place.
3. NRS
Is your dad drawn to rivers and beautiful places? Well so was Bills Parks, the founder of NRS back in 1972. NRS work hard to share their passion for paddling with the rest of the world, so why not help your dad to join in and share this passion with them too?
From heavy duty straps (which, by the way, are always handy to have more of), to gloves and touring safety kits, there's plenty to choose from with NRS when wanting to gift something you know they'll actually use! Even if it's just some new karabiners he can keep in his kayak bag.
4. Scotty
Now this brand is a little more tailored to specific wants. Scotty Fishing products are market leaders in fishing mounts and equipment for kayakers, canoeists and boaters.
Scotty offers a whole kayak fishing starter kit so if your dad is interested in starting his fishing journey, this could be ideal! For the more experienced fishers, maybe look at getting an upgrade for their set up with a new ball mount, rod holder or even a new accessories tray.
5. Overboard
Finally, we have Overboard. World leaders in dry bag/case technology.
For the ultimate adventuring dad, we have the Adventure Duffel bag - with 90L of storage, there's plenty of room to get your gear to where it needs to be, and comfortably too! As for the dads who want to capture every moment, the SLR camera bag is an essential when out on the water, giving you quick access to grab the camera at any prime moment.
Bonus: C-monsta
We just had to include this one as a little extra for you.
The C-monsta hanger is ideal for the surfers out there, and could may well be something they never knew they needed until they have one!
