Boardsox Surf Hats
Shade up top. Shell inside.
Boardsox makes surf hats that actually surf. Floating, UPF 50+ wide-brim sun hats and 5-panel surf caps — designed by surfers in Ocean Grove, Australia, built to stay on through duck-dives and dawnies. Every surf hat in the range is built to last.
Most surf hats just block the sun. Ours can take a hit too - drop in the optional Hard Shell insert for protection on reef, rocks and shallow breaks. Secure 360° fit, UPF 50+, built for the water - and if it takes a swim, it floats.
