Surf Gear, Surfboards & Online Shopping
This part of the website is for our visitors outside Thailand, mostly surfers in the USA, Australia and anywhere else that Amazon delivers to.
It has nothing to do with our surf shop here in Phuket. Everything on these pages comes from Amazon, not from us.
In Thailand?
If you are in Thailand, don’t order from here. Our own shop is closer, delivery is quicker, and you get to deal with real people who surf.

I have been surfing for more than 50 years and running a surf shop for a good part of that, so I have a fair idea what is worth buying and what isn’t. Some of these pages are proper gear guides, some are gift ideas for the surfer who already has everything, and some are just things I like.
The links on these pages go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. It costs you nothing extra.
Most Popular Shopping Pages
Not sure where to start? These are the pages most people end up on.
Surfboards & Bodyboards
First board, a funboard, something to travel with, or a board that can take a beating in small waves. Start with these pages.
NSP and BIC are not fancy custom boards and nobody pretends they are. They are strong, easy to ride and forgiving, which is why you see them in surf schools all over the world. For a beginner or an everyday small wave surfer, that is exactly what you want.
Surf Books, DVDs & Media
Surf books and surf movies have been on Saltwater Dreaming since the early days. They are what gets you through a flat spell, they make good gifts, and they keep the stoke going when you are stuck a long way from the ocean.

Surf Watches, Cameras & Travel Gear
A watch you can wear in the surf and a camera you can get wet. Two things I would always pack for a surf trip. They are just as handy for snorkelling, beach holidays and anything else outdoors.
Surfing Watches
GoPro Cameras
Waterproof Cameras
Surf Clothing & Beach Gear
Boardshorts, bikinis, rash guards, sandals and sunnies. To be honest, some of this is more beach gear than surf gear, but you will use all of it on a surf trip.
Boardshorts
Rash Guards
Sunglasses
Surf Accessories
Leashes, wax, traction pads, board bags and repair gear. The boring stuff. Nobody gets excited about it until the leash snaps or there is a ding in the board and the waves are pumping.
Travel, Thailand & Other Gear
A few pages that are more about travelling than surfing. Worth a look if you are planning a surf trip, a beach holiday or coming over to see us in Thailand.
Thanks for Supporting Saltwater Dreaming
Saltwater Dreaming is a surf and travel website put together by surfers. We are not a big shopping company and never will be. When you click through to Amazon from one of our pages and buy something, Amazon pays us a small commission. You pay the same price either way.
PLEASE REMEMBER: It does not have to be surf gear. Anything you order after clicking through from here helps pay for the hosting, the phone bill and keeping this old website going.
If you want to help out, bookmark this page and come through here next time you shop on Amazon.
Keep surfing… 😉
