Put to the test
We put our surf hats to the real test.
Stays put through wipeouts & heavy surf
Every detail of a Boardsox surf hat is built from real surf experience, not guesswork. The soft rear brim stops the hat being pushed over your eyes while you paddle, and the hard front brim cuts glare on the water. We surf, and we test our gear in real conditions — which is why surfers rate us one of the best surf hats in Australia.
Real sun protection
UPF 50+. Built for long days in the sun + surfing.
A surf hat earns its keep on the days you lose track of time. Woven from UPF 50+ fabric that blocks more than 98% of UV, with a wide brim that shades your face, ears and neck and a structured front that keeps glare out of your eyes while you scan for sets. Quick-drying, salt-resistant, and built to hold its shape wipe-out after wipe-out.

Not Sure what size hat to order?

Reviews
Trusted by surfers worldwide.
Best hat I have ever owned. Stays on through the heaviest duck dives and the brim keeps the sun off all day.

Verified buyerBought this for a trip to Bali. Wore it in the water every session and out for dinner every night.

Verified buyerFinally a hat that does not fly off. The 360 toggle keeps it locked in and the UPF 50+ is legit.

Verified buyerLove that it floats. Lost my last hat on a wipe-out. This one was sitting on the surface waiting for me.
