For the paddleboarder or surfer on your list, HoStevie is a one-stop shop for smart, durable, and affordable gear. Based in San Diego, the company was founded on a simple mission: to provide the best quality surf gear, at the best price, with the best service — and the most fun.
Owner Stevie runs the brand with his wife B and a tight-knit crew of friends. A dedicated daily surfer, Stevie only designs products he uses himself. By cutting out middlemen and big-name sponsorships, HoStevie delivers premium gear at a fraction of the cost of traditional surf brands. The name? Inspired by a buddy shouting “Ho Stevie, let’s go surf!” — and the spirit of going with the flow.
This holiday season, here are the top picks any paddleboarder or SUP adventurer will appreciate:
1. Surfboard / Paddleboard Car Roof Racks
Transporting boards shouldn’t mean folding down seats, squeezing friends out of the car, or risking dings. HoStevie’s padded “through-the-door” universal racks make travel simple for surfers and SUP enthusiasts.
These racks:
-
Hold up to 3 boards
-
Fit any vehicle (2-door or 4-door)
-
Include silicone-covered buckles to prevent scratches
-
Install in minutes
-
Keep boards stable and secure
Engineered with thicker padding, stronger straps, and textured bases, they’re a major upgrade from old-school soft racks — and a smart gift for anyone who regularly heads to the water.
2. Wetsuit Changing Mat & Waterproof Bag
Every surfer knows the struggle of changing in a sandy, wet, crowded parking lot. This mat solves it instantly.
-
Keeps wetsuits clean and off dirt/debris
-
Protects your car from smelly, wet gear

Cinches into a waterproof bag for easy carrying
-
Ideal for paddleboarders, surfers, or anyone who gear-swaps outdoors
Simple, compact, and one of those “how did I live without this?” gifts.
