3. SD Hopper by Sector 9 skateboards at Soul Grind Skate shop - Soul Grind Skate Shop is a family-owned and operated business in Pacific Beach, San Diego since 1993. The skate shop has an extensive collection of vintage and modern skateboards that define the evolution of modern skateboarding from the roller-skate-on-a-two-by-four to modern boards signed by pro's. Sector 9 is based and was founded in San Diego. Sector 9 was recently reacquired by its original founders! The plan is to do exactly what they’ve done in the past “but hopefully better”. Just like they started in ‘93, a bunch of friends getting together to make great products and have as much fun as they can in the process. They intend to keep this attitude towards skateboarding as long as possible and pass it on to the next generation.
4. Mamala Surf Gift Card - Share the gift of warmth and comfort with a Mamala Surf E-Gift Card, applicable on all wetsuits and apparel. A Gift Card makes a thoughtful gift for the surfer in your life. Feel good knowing you’re buying a premium wetsuit and supporting a local small business.

5. RinseKit Pro - Perfect for proper wetsuit care and your post surf rinses, camping or washing off the groms before they jump in your car. The 3.5 gallon PRO is their first battery-pressurized model, boasting a consistent, high pressure spray. The battery pressurization is not only strong, but makes the PRO easy to use - simply pour water in the top fill cap, press the power button and spray! The PRO is perfect for avid surfers, campers, bikers and outdoor enthusiasts who want more capacity plus the consistency, strength and convenience of battery-powered pressurization. Check out the Hyper Heater 2.0 bundle to heat the water with the help of propane.
6. AMFIBION Wetsuit Changing Matt & Duffel Bag - Meet the Stowaway™ convertible wetsuit changing mat-to-duffel bag. Stow all your gear and all the mess in one place, while prolonging the life of your premium Yamamoto neoprene (Mamala suit of course!). The Stowaway™ keeps all the parking lot grease, sand, dirt, and gravel off your wetty and out of your vehicle. Made of a premium nylon material with PU coating, this 2-in-1 mat-to-bag system is both durable and water-repellent. It will hold your wetsuit, booties, towel, and any extra gear you may need. Since our mats unzip completely flat, it’s super easy to rinse out all that sand, and hangs dry in minutes.
7. SURFEARS 4.0 Ear Plugs - Save your own or your friend’s ears with these ear plugs for surfers to protect from or pro-long Surfer’s Ear surgeries. These plugs reduce inner ear exposure to cold water and wind but allow enough sound to chat with your friends, just make sure to yell extra loud if someone starts paddling for your wave and you’ve been waiting the longest! These can often be found at your local surf shop so call them to ask them first before buying online.
8. Wax Fresh - Surfboard Wax Scraper Tool - Ergonomically designed, recycled plastic, easy-function. Give your surfboard a birthday by cleaning off that old wax for a fresh feel and stronger hold under your feet when you re-apply. The idea of Wax Fresh began when two lifelong friends and avid surfers, Gareth Malys and Dylan Hannah were getting ready to go surfing. As they sat on the beach, Gareth was removing wax from his board using a traditional wax comb. As Dyl observed, the two began a conversation as to how difficult it was to remove wax using the traditional comb. Apart from the comb being uncomfortable to hold, it would also take a long time to remove the wax and could never completely remove wax from board impressions. Then, the idea arose…. Surely there has to be an easier, quicker and more effective way to remove wax.
9. Seagull surfboard by John Holly at PRIDE Surf & Skate Shop - 36 years strong in Ocean Beach and still kicking, 5035 Newport Ave. San Diego, Ca 92107, (619)222-1575. San Diego shaper John Holly has been crafting boards alongside the top names in the industry since 1969, when he worked in a stall next to Skip Frye at Gordon and Smith Surfboards. In 2018, Holly was honored as one of the inaugural inductees into the San Diego Surfing Hall of Fame. Now in his late 70s, Holly continues to produce boards under his "Seagull" brand.
