UWH Shirts

Did your counterpart already mention having no idea of what to get you for this holiday of love? If they did not get a clue that you spend all your time underwater and practically call the pool home, then send them this list. Just leave this paragraph out, it will get you slapped, or sleeping on the couch for the night.

 

The top ten best valentines day gifts for the underwater hockey player in your life.

 

10. Bentfish's SEG Mouthgard (£10 from Bentfish or $20 from EqualPuck)

If you have ever had a beer with a masters player no doubtly you have heard the storey of when someone got some teeth knocked out from taking a shot to the face. Typical mouthgards are fine, but this one has the word shit in it (Shit Eating Grin) so it must be bad ass. Get this gift because you love a full set of teeth.

 

9. Can Am's Colored Large Bore Snorkel ($25 from CanAm UWH Gear)

More air in = better bottom time. The new go-to snorkel that comes in a million colours. Get this gift because old snorkels get moldy, and you dont want to be kissing a mouth of mold.

 

 

8. New Fins from Breier (€150-300)

Expected to be the number one choice of fins at the world championships this summer. The Breier fins are made out of space age carbon fibre and designed to make your lover go super fast under the water. Get this gift becuase you have been bad are already in the dog house.

 

7. Practice Puck ($25 from CanAm UWH Gear)

Typical puck is heavy, use this bad boy on carpet, or anywhere outside of the pool to practice and warmup the wrist. Get this gift because hand eye coordination pays off and practice makes perfect.

 

6.Keep Calm and Dont Breathe shirt ($27.95 from UWHshirts.com)

One of the best sellers so far this year, this underwater hockey t-shirt is perfect to be worn at tournaments and competitions.  Get this gift because looking good is only half the battle.

 

5.Finis SwimP3 ($120)

For those who are in heavy training mode, there is nothing more boring than laps after laps after laps. Break the manonatiny with some music - underwater! Using bone conduction audio transmission, there is no need for ear plugs or headphones (science talk for they work great!). Get this gift since you have already lost the battle with underwater hockey and they love gadgets.

4. Body Butter ($10-20 from Body Shop)

Especially during tournaments, jumping in and out of the pool all day leaves the skin of your underwater hockey player dry and itchy. Combat that with some awesomeness called body butter. Comes in all different sizes and scents, it will help keep the skin feeling great. Get this gift so you have an excuse to start getting touchy feely.
