That long-awaited time of the year for some is coming… Christmas is almost here! And, you know you can’t give the same gift to a family member who kites as to one who doesn’t…
That’s why it occurred to me to write this little guide about “gifts for kiters”. There are gifts in a fairly different price range and for all tastes. I think it goes without saying that the best gift you can give anyone, or me, is a trip to Brazil or the Philippines… But if you can not with so much, take a look at this article and, I hope it serves as inspiration to be so endearing dates:
1. BIKINIS! It doesn’t matter if it’s not summer and there isn’t 30ºC, a bikini never hurts. In addition, girls go crazy and, that’s why I bring you two proposals of my favorite bikinis: Gypsea BikinisThey have a lot of different bikini styles and the colors and designs encaaaaantan me. The quality is brutal, so you will buy a gift that will last longer than two bathrooms and, in addition, using the code “Julia25” at check out you will get a 25% discount! (Only until January 1st).
There’s also another brand I really like, the bikinis are really cute, simple and stylish, check them out because the kinis are definitely worth it; Lia Swimwear.
2. CLOTHING FOR TRAVELERS. If you travel with your kite equipment you know that it is an incredible rust and that in most companies you can only carry a certain number of kilos … It will sound half weird but the best idea in the world to save on kilos are reversible t-shirts! (I think there is no need to explain why). Vivida Lifestyle has a beautiful collection of these t-shirts. Surprise, get a 15% discount on your purchase using the code:“FUERTEJULIA”.
3. SUN CREAM. Another of those gifts that never hurts to have. The sun cream! As a good kiter you know that you must have a good arsenal of sun cream to protect yourself. Mr. Lorenzo is up there to give us warmth but also to punish our skin and, therefore, it is important to have good sun protection. Here are my recommendations:
-For the face: Sunzapper
. Zinc sun cream in colorines from Austria (one of the countries with the strongest sun in the world). It’s super effective, it doesn’t go away easily (and if it does you can see it immediately) and the kids love it! Well, and so do I;)
-For the face and body: Swox
. This brand is specialized in water sports and, I think that is almost everything. It is not at all fat (a quality to take into account for kiters) and lasts a lot. Check it out here: http://www.swox-store.com/
4. A poncho! Don’t you think it’s the new garment you should have in your wardrobe? This piece of towel is super useful and warm to stay warm after your kite session and change without the whole beach seeing your grandiosities. Also, soon a lot of super cool designs are going to come out, are you ready? Do not forget to use the code“FUERTEJULIA”to get a
15% discount: http://www.vividalifestyle.com/vividaponchotowel/
5. A MONKEY: do not panic, no one will have any exotic animal as a Christmas gift. The Monkey is the new North Kiteboarding kite aimed at teaching, progression and freeride. It is the perfect kite with which to start and progress (you do not get bored or fall short once you take level). Also, if you want to give a gift to your cousins or your children to learn kite, do not doubt that this is the perfect kite. I myself taught my little brothers with this kite: http://www.northkiteboarding.com/products/kites/mono/
6. Wetsuit/Jacket. Another of those things that as a good lover of the sea you must have. This year ION has released a super cool collection! And, there are also plenty of accessories you can give away and find for super good price here: http://we-wind.com/
7. Surfsuit. Maybe you are going on vacation to a place where the water and temperature are somewhat higher… It is not so cold as to put on neoprene but it is not so hot as not to wear it, here is your perfect solution!
Guilla Brazil
was the discovery I made in Brazil 2 years ago and I still use them whenever I can, besides, they also have baby suits!
8. Kitera jewelry. Original, super beautiful and customizable. In Kiteidea
they had the idea of bringing your favorite sport to your day to day with these super cute pieces of jewelry. You have necklaces and earrings made on the beach and the quality is brutal (and I say it almost every day even to go kite). What are you waiting for to give away or get yours?
9. (This point is special and last minute!) For sensitive skin!
ShaveSafe
is a depilatory cream that prevents skin irritations, it is a wonder, especially for us kiters who need to have the skin always ready. More info here:
