2. Dry Bag: A dry bag is an essential accessory for any water sports enthusiast. It will help keep his valuables, such as phone, wallet, and clothes, safe and dry during his water escapades. Look for a durable and waterproof bag with enough capacity for his needs.

3. Personalized Life Jacket: Upgrade his safety gear with a personalized life jacket that reflects his style and personality. Many companies offer customizable options, allowing you to choose colors, designs, and even add his name or initials.

4. Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker: Enhance his water adventures with a waterproof Bluetooth speaker. He can enjoy his favorite tunes while paddling or relaxing by the riverbank. Look for a speaker that offers good sound quality, durability, and long battery life.

5. Rafting/Kayaking Lessons: If he's looking to level up his rafting and kayaking skills, consider gifting him lessons from a professional instructor. Whether it's to learn advanced techniques or to explore new water bodies, these lessons will provide valuable experience and knowledge.

6. Guidebook and Maps: Help him with trip planning and exploration by gifting him a comprehensive guidebook about rafting and kayaking. Look for books that provide detailed information about different rivers, trails, and their conditions. Additionally, consider getting waterproof maps of his favorite or dream destinations.

7. Adventure Tours: Surprise him with an unforgettable white-water rafting or kayaking adventure. Many outdoor adventure companies offer guided tours for all skill levels, from scenic trips to adrenaline-pumping experiences. Choose a destination that matches his interests and offers an exciting and memorable experience.

8. Safety Gear Upgrade: Check if he needs any safety gear upgrades, such as a new helmet, paddle, or wetsuit. Upgrading his equipment to the latest and best quality will enhance his comfort and safety during his water activities.

9. River-inspired Artwork: Add a touch of art to his living space with river-inspired artwork. Look for paintings, photographs, or prints that depict the beauty and excitement of white-water rafting or kayaking. This way, he can reminisce about his adventures even when he's not on the water.

10. Subscription to Adventure Magazines: Keep his passion alive throughout the year with a subscription to adventure magazines that focus on rafting, kayaking, and other water sports. This will allow him to keep up with the latest news, stories, gear reviews, and tips from the experts.

Remember, the most meaningful gift is one that aligns with his passion and interests. By choosing something related to rafting and kayaking, you are not only giving him a special present but also supporting his love for adventure and exploration.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
