Description
The Florence Boardsox Surf Hat is a charcoal grey bucket hat with a tan brim, made to stay on through the surf.
The charcoal grey and tan Florence is the understated all day hat. Wide brim shade from a dawn surf through to the afternoon, a soft rear brim that keeps your eyes clear, and salt resistant fabric that holds its colour through a full summer.
- Soft rear brim that stays down while you paddle, no flipping up over your eyes
- Hard front brim that holds shape through duck dives and cuts glare
- Neoprene chin strap and toggle so it stays on through wipeouts
- Adjustable head strap for a secure fit
- UPF 50+ AU/NZ rated sun protection
- Removable neck flap for extra coverage
- Mesh drainage vents so water flows straight out
- Quick drying, salt resistant fabric
Designed and tested in real Australian surf, in a full range of colours and prints.

Good to know
Common questions.
Sizing, shipping and keeping your gear going. Still stuck? Get in touch — we're surfers, we'll sort you out.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure around your head just above the ears and match it to the hat size guide on this page. Between sizes? We'd size up for an all-day fit.
Will it really stay on in the surf?
Yes — the adjustable chin cord keeps it with you through duck-dives, and it floats if it does come off, so you won't lose it.
Does it actually float?
It does. Drop it in the water and it sits there waiting for you, rather than sinking.
How long will delivery take?
Australian orders arrive in roughly 5–10 business days, with express available if you need it sooner. Overseas orders take around 7–16 days depending on where you are. Tracking comes through on dispatch.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes — we ship worldwide, with express international options at checkout. Any duties or taxes are set by your destination country.
How do I look after it?
Rinse in fresh water after salty or sandy sessions and air-dry out of direct sun. Avoid hot washes and dryers so it lasts for years.
Where does my order ship from?
Everything is designed and shipped from our shop in Ocean Grove, Victoria — and our covers are cut to size and sewn right here in Australia.
