Well, I’m not sure I’d call fishing “fitness” exactly, but I found this portable, digital fish scale and thought it might make a good Christma gift for someone, so I’m going to go ahead and write about it. This is for the fisherman (or fisher woman) who wants to know right away whether that catch is worth taking home or needs to be tossed back.
The portable scale is lightweight, waterproof, and buoyant, so it’s no problem if it falls in the water. The LCD screen gives you the weight of your fish (up to 25 pounds), and the scale “remembers” the 5 heaviest fish, so you can prove to friends just how big your biggest catch was (as long as you don’t cheat and weigh some old boots or something…)
Available from RedEnvelope, the scale costs $90.
You’re not surfing without sunglasses, are you? If you live the outdoor lifestyle, it can be damaging to your eyes over time, and the sun is even more intense when you’re out on the water. Sunglasses can certainly help but, if you’re surfing or doing some other water sport that’s likely to send you plunging into the surf, you need something that’s going to hang on. These Sea Specs, advertised as “extreme surf sunglasses,” are designed to stay on your head, hold up to constant water use, and (important!) still make you look cool. They’re available online for a very reasonable $59.
