Please use our sizing conversion chart below to find which size will fit you best!
Small/Kids 54-56cm
Adults 57-59cm
Wrap a tape measure around your head, starting at the back where it’s widest (just over the bump at the back of your skull).
Bring the tape around to the front, positioning it roughly 5mm above your ears. It should rest comfortably across your forehead or just above your eyebrows—wherever you’d prefer your hat to sit.
Make sure the tape feels just right—not too tight, not too loose. This is how your hat will sit once it’s on. Not sure which size? If you’re in between, it’s best to size up.
All our hats feature an adjustable strap, letting you fine-tune the fit for maximum comfort.or, simply ask us a question in the chat functionality on the bottom right-hand side. We will get back to you asap!
Meet the surf hat that actually stays put.
Most surf hats are designed by brands that don’t even surf. We were the first to design surf hats with a soft rear brim. Why? Because real surfers know the truth: when you paddle into a wave, a stiff back brim slams down over your eyes. That’s not just annoying, it’s dangerous. Our innovation solved the problem, and it’s what makes Boardsox Surf Hats trusted by surfers everywhere.
Built for Performance, Protection & Comfort
Boardsox Surf Hats are crafted for surfers who demand premium sun protection, comfort, and style. Engineered to shield you from harsh UV rays, wind, and water glare, our hats let you stay longer in the lineup and surf with confidence. Whether you’re catching waves on a hot summer day or logging long sessions in the tropics, Boardsox Surf Hats provide the ultimate protection without compromise.
Why Choose a Boardsox Surf Hat?
At Boardsox, we live for salt water and overhead sets. We refused to accept surf hats that fly off, fade fast, or block your vision. So we designed ours from scratch, tested them in real surf, and refined them until they passed the wipeout test.
✔️ Hard Front Brim Design – Blocks glare and wind, without compromising your vision while paddling.
✔️ Soft Rear Brim Innovation – Stays clear when paddling so your hat never slams down over your eyes.
✔️ Secure Chin & Toggle System – Dual-locking strap and adjustable toggle for trust in heavy surf.
✔️ UPF 50+ Sun Protection – Reliable, breathable coverage against the harshest UV.
✔️ Quick-Dry, Salt-Proof Fabrics – Made to resist stretch, fading, and breakdown from sun and salt.
✔️ Mesh Drainage Vents – Water flows out instantly, keeping your hat light and drag-free.
✔️ Removable Neck Legionnaire Panel – For those that don't like the flap you can easily remove it
When you wear a Boardsox Surf Hat, you’re not just wearing an accessory — you’re wearing decades of surf knowledge sewn into every stitch.
The Importance of Sun Protection
Surfers face more UV exposure than almost anyone. In Australia, 2 out of 3 people will be diagnosed with skin cancer before 70, and surfers face up to three times the risk of skin cancers compared to the general population. Reflection off the water, long sessions in peak UV, and constant exposure on the face, ears, and neck all add up to danger.

Real Sun Protection for Real Surfers
UPF50+ Surf Hat Sun Protection That Lasts
Boardsox Surf Hats are made with UPF50+ sun protective fabric, blocking harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and skin damage. Unlike sunscreen that washes away, our surf hats give you consistent sun protection for surfers, keeping your face, ears, and neck safe every time you paddle out.
Stays Put Through Wipeouts & Heavy Surf
Every detail of a Boardsox Surf Hat is built from real surf experience, not guesswork. Our soft rear brim prevents your hat from being pushed over your eyes while paddling, while the hard front brim cuts glare on the water. That’s why surfers trust us as the best surf hat in Australia , because we surf, and we’ve tested our gear in real conditions.
Built to Last With Salt-Proof, Quick-Dry Fabrics
Boardsox Surf Hats are crafted from premium, salt-resistant, quick-dry materials that hold their shape session after session. No stretching, no fading, no falling apart after one season, just a durable surf hat designed for all surf conditions.

It's a perfect hat that hasn't seen the surf yet but has survived rain and windy days on yard duty and other people wanting to claim it.
Love the extra Velcro adjuster strap on the rear of the hat.

- RLRuth L.Verified BuyerReviewingHawaiian Boardsox Surf HatI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars10 months agoPerfect for ocean, pool, sun & rain
Love my hat. Even more than I thought I would. I bought it for fold-up sun hat to put in plane luggage. I wear it in outside pool for Aqua aerobics. Walking in the sun. And light rain. Spent too many years in the sun without hat or skin protection. Caught up with me now. Wear Boardsox’s Hawaiian Surf Hat now whenever I’m in the sun. Great design & protection. Fits well, easily adjusted. Definitely get another one. Highly recommend.
