5 Surf Essentials You Need This Season (That We Use Ourselves)

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been chasing waves your whole life, having the right surf essentials makes all the difference. At Bodhi Surf, we live for the beach and swear by gear that can handle the salt, sun, and spray.
Here are 5 must-haves for your next surf (or beach) mission:
🏄♂️ 1. A Soft-Top Surfboard (for the win)
Easy to paddle, stable as anything, and perfect for learners or anyone who wants to just have a cruisy time. We stock beginner-friendly boards from top Aussie brands — and yep, we’ve all taken a tumble on them.
👕 2. A Rashie That Doesn’t Suck
Sun protection, warmth, and a snug fit. We’ve got Billabong, Rip Curl, and Quiksilver options for men, women, and kids. And trust us — nothing ruins a session like chafe.
🧢 3. A Good Pair of Sunnies
Polarised sunnies that cut the glare? Game changer. We’ve got surf-friendly shades from OAKLEY, EPOKHE, OTIS, DRAGON & ELECTRIC — and yep, some float in water too.
🩳 4. Boardies or Bikinis That Actually Stay On
Salt, wipeouts, and sunburn don’t mix. Whether it’s a full day in the surf or just beach hangs, we’ve got surf-tested gear from Roxy, Billabong, Thrills, and Rusty that’s comfy, flattering, and doesn’t ride up where it shouldn’t.
🕶️ 5. Surf Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
From wax and leashes to waterproof dry bags and skateboards for your post-surf cruise — we’ve got the goods. They make great gift ideas too if you’re shopping for your local grom.
