Gift-giving isn't always easy, but we are hoping to make it a bit less stressful for you this year! If you have some stand up paddle enthusiasts on your list- look no further than our holiday gift guide! Here we share our top 5 picks for paddlers this holiday season.

Yolo Paddle

Three black and orange paddleboards with paddles, shown front, back, and side views.

A good quality paddle can enhance the paddling experience immensely! A good paddle is often more important than a super high end board. What makes a good paddle? The construction and the weight! Just a few ounces lighter in weight can make a huge difference for the back and shoulders as you are paddling. This Yolo carbon fiber paddle is our favorite!

Dry Bag

Waterproof phone case with blue strap and a smartphone inside.

Every paddler needs a dry bag. We all take out our phones and sometimes other essentials for time on the water. Our favorite dry bag is the self-sealing magnetic GoBag! You won't even need to take your phone out of the bag to take photos with this great option. We sell these bags for just $20- contact us if you'd like one!

Anchor Kit

Yellow buoy connected by rope to a black base with a clip and white floats

Does your paddler love to practice yoga and do fitness classes on their board? If so, they likely will need an anchor kit! We love this “Perfect Anchor” because it comes with the rope and buoy already attached!

FloYo Hat

Person in blue floral life vest and cap on a paddleboard, facing a calm river with tree-lined shore.

Yes! Finally, the perfect hat to keep the sun off your face! We have 4 new styles of this hat- check the FloYo Instagram to see the other color combo's!

Yolo Inflatable Board

Mint and teal surfboard shown from top, side, and bottom views with a red “SALE” badge

Looking for an entry-level inflatable at an unbeatable price? Look no further: the YOLO Seahorse Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard has arrived! Inflatable YOLO SUPs are easy to store in your closet or check at the airport for your next adventure. The Seahorse inflatable SUP is super stable in flat water and small waves, making it a great all-around choice for paddlers of any skill level. Constructed from ultra-durable marine-grade PVC this board package includes board, fin, hand pump, patch kit, and travel bag. Plus, we currently have them for sale for only $600!!
