Surf Art Gifts for Surfers
Surfers are hard to buy for. They already have the boards, the wetsuits, and opinions about both. A print of a wave they love is different: it is personal, it lasts, and it is not something they will buy for themselves. Swell Scenes makes posters of real surf spots around the world, designed in-house and printed to order.
The best surf art gift: their home break
The most personal gift is a print of the place they surf most, or a trip they still talk about. Our surf spot collection covers breaks across the world, for example:
- Hawaii: Pipeline, Haleiwa, Backdoor, Chuns Reef
- California: Trestles, Sunset Cliffs, Swami's in Encinitas, Montara
- Central America: Punta Roca, El Sunzal, and K59 in El Salvador, Panga Drops in Nicaragua, Salsa Brava in Costa Rica
- Further afield: Nazare in Portugal, Thurso East in Scotland, Anchor Point in Morocco, Desert Point in Indonesia, Cloud 9 in the Philippines
- East Coast: Cocoa Beach Pier and the 1st Street Jetty in Florida, plus beaches in Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island
If you do not know their spot
Choose a wave every surfer knows. Pipeline, Nazare, and Trestles are famous well beyond their home breaks, and our gifts for the surfer collection gathers the best known. Another option is the beach town they visit most, from our travel prints.
Sizes and framing
Prints come in sizes from 5x7 to 24x36 inches. For a gift, a framed print is easiest because it arrives ready to hang. Choose black, white, or wood frames, or a floating frame canvas. Smaller sizes suit a desk, shelf, or surf shack. Larger sizes work over a sofa or bed.
More surf gifts
We also make surf spot T-shirts for many of the same breaks, and gallery wall sets that group several surf spots in matching frames. A gift card lets them pick their own spot.
Questions
How long does it take? Every print is made to order, so allow extra time before a birthday or holiday. See our shipping policy for current times.
What if their spot is not listed? Send it to us through our contact page. We add new breaks regularly, and requests help us choose.
Can I return it if they do not like it? Because every print is made to order, we cannot take returns for a change of mind. If anything arrives damaged or wrong, contact us within 5 days and we will replace it.
