Stocking Stuffers for Surfers
If you have a surfer on your gift list, you know the drill. When it comes time for gifts for surfers, they're a pretty easy-to-please group.

And luckily, many of them are small enough to slip into a stocking. However, there are a few on this list that you might just want to put under the tree, alongside a pair of boardshorts.
