Written by Jess Davies /

Christmas shopping for the women in your life can be challenging, be that your own mum, someone else’s mum, the mother of your children, your partner or just a very special lady in your life. However, if they’re into paddle boarding there are some awesome options out there for that SUPer lady this Christmas!

The Red team is made up of a bunch of female keeno paddle boarders so we’ve compiled a list of the very best gifts we all want to receive this year. Gifts cover practical ideas and total treats too, encompassing everything from the useful to the ultimate indulgence but there isn’t a naff present insight.

Whoever that special paddle boarding person is in your life you’re buying for this festive season, we’re sure there will be something for them in our top picks.

The top 10 best gifts for paddleboarding women in 2021


Women's Long Sleeve Pro Change Robe EVO - £149.95

If your gift receiver doesn’t own a change robe this has to be at the top of your list for gifts this season. THE must-have multi-use outdoor accessory will get you some serious brownie points if it’s wrapped up under the Christmas tree this year. Perfect for use pre SUP, getting change post paddle boarding, walking the dog, cuddling up around the campfire….the list goes on! The Pro Change robe was refreshed this Autumn with some awesome new features on the EVO edition. Plus new to the range this year is this stunning parker green with an orange lining as well as a fushia pink and grey lining. Honestly, it will be the best gift you’ve ever given - you can thank us later!

An awesome pair of multiuse leggings

Christmas is the time to really treat the active woman in your life to a super cool pair of leggings. It might seem nuts to pay a lot of money for a pair of leggings but once you have a super stretchy, not see-through, long-lasting, comfy pair of legging they’ll be the favourite thing in your wardrobe! 

We often get asked what to wear paddle boarding by women and we always say get a great pair of leggings. You can wear them all year, layer them up but also if you do fall in they will dry super quickly. We love the range from Lululemon as well as Sweaty Betty. 

They’re not made exclusively for paddle boarding and are not made from neoprene so will be more suitable to wear during slightly warmer months but until then, they’ll be great for other activities and walking to the coffee shop looking stylish! The Sweaty Betty leggings shown are slightly warmer than a regular pair of leggings made from a warm brushed fabric that is breathable with a water-resistant finish. You should also look for leggings that have a high waisted design with an elastic waistband. We like the shorter 25” on the Lululemon leggings below as you’re less likely to get a soggy ankle while paddling from the wash.

Lululemon leggings: Invigorate High-Rise Tight 25" (available in 6 colours but they have a range of over 50 different styles in a range of colours) - £88.00

Sweaty Betty Leggings: Eco Therma Running Leggings - £95.00
