Aviator Nation didn’t set out to define a lifestyle, but somewhere along the way, it started to. Maybe you’ve eyed the electric yellow lightning bolts on someone at the farmers market, or spotted the sunset-inspired logo fronting a music festival merch stand, or perhaps you’ve seen a teenager pull a “Locals Only” tee over a swimsuit without a second thought. Wherever you frequent, you’ve probably crossed paths with the brand.

Maybe she taught you to read the tide or zip-up a wetsuit. Maybe she’s the one who rubs sunscreen on your back before every swim, or simply the woman in your life who feels most herself near a body of water. Whether she’s your mom, your wife, your grandmother, or a friend who deserves to be celebrated, if she loves the coastal lifestyle, this list was made with her in mind. This Mother’s Day, we’ve rounded up our favorite gifts for the woman who jetskis, surfs, swims, or solely strolls the beach.

Currently manifesting a trip to Ipanema? The newly released Farm Rio x Rip Curl collaboration just revealed the ultimate beach-ready wardrobe for the rider who actually hits the waves. While the surf and jetski world is no stranger to technical gear, it rarely looks this expressive. In a move that surprised us all, the powerhouse duo joined forces to design a colorful capsule that bridges high-performance design with bold, maximalist prints.
