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!
Surf Hats Designed by Surfers -Premium Surf Hats for Men, Women & Groms
Meet the surf hat that actually stays put.
Most surf hats on the market are designed by people who don’t even surf, which is why they slip, flop, and fail in real conditions. At Boardsox, we build gear that actually works in the water.
We were the first to design surf hats with a soft rear brim. Why? Because real surfers know the truth: when you’re paddling into a wave, a stiff back brim forces your hat down over your eyes. That’s not just annoying, it’s dangerous. Our design solves it.
Boardsox Surf Hats are crafted for surfers who demand premium protection, comfort, and style. Our surf hats are engineered to shield you from harsh UV rays, wind, and water glare, allowing you to stay longer in the lineup and enjoy the waves. Whether you're paddling out on a sunny day or surfing all day long, Boardsox Surf Hats provide the ultimate sun protection without compromising on comfort or style.
Why Choose Boardsox Surf Hats?
At Boardsox, we bleed salt and live for that overhead set. We refused to accept surf hats that flop, fly off, or fade after a few sessions.
✔️ Hard Front Brim Design: Stiff enough to punch through wind & waves, but balanced so visibility isn’t compromised while paddling
✔️ Secure Chin & Toggle System: dual-locking chin strap and adjustable toggle fit your head snugly so that you can trust it in heavy surf
✔️ UPF 50+ Protection: Full sun coverage without sacrificing breathability
✔️ Quick-Dry, Salt-Proof Materials: Fabrics designed to resist stretch, dry fast, and stand up to salt & UV over time
✔️ Mesh Drainage Vents: Let water flow out instead of pooling, reducing drag
So we designed ours from scratch, testing in the heaviest breaks, refining till they passed the wipeout test. When you wear one of ours, you're getting decades of surf knowledge baked into every stitch.
The importance of sun protection.
Surfers spend hours in the water under some of the harshest UV conditions in the world. In Australia, skin cancer is the most common cancer, and 2 out of 3 Aussies will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70. For surfers, the risk is even higher: studies show surfers have up to three times the incidence of skin cancers compared to the general population, thanks to the combination of reflection off the water, long sessions in peak UV hours, and constant sun exposure on the face, neck, and ears.
That’s why proper sun protection isn’t optional; it’s essential. Sunscreen alone washes off, but a UPF50+ surf hat provides consistent, reliable shade for your face, ears, and neck, reducing your risk every time you paddle out.
