Put to the test
We put our surf caps to the real test.
Stays put through wipeouts & heavy surf
Every detail of a Boardsox surf cap is built from real surf experience, not guesswork. The soft rear panel stops the cap being pushed over your eyes while you paddle, and the structured front peak 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 caps in Australia.
Real sun protection
UPF 50+. Built for long days in the sun + surfing.
A surf cap 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 structured peak that shades your face, ears and neck and 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.

In the water
Built by surfers. Tested in the surf.
It floats
Drop it duck-diving and it waits for you on the surface instead of sinking.
It stays on
The chin cord and toggle hold it through wipe-outs, wind and paddle-outs.
Real shade
UPF 50+ fabric and a structured peak. Proper protection for long days out.
Made for the ocean
Why we don't use recycled polyester.
Recycled polyester looks good on a label. But every time it is worn and washed it sheds microplastics — tiny plastic beads — straight into the water. That ends up in the same ocean we are trying to protect.
Our recycled canvas surfboard covers are built to last a lifetime — but they never see the ocean or a washing machine. A surf cap does, every session. So for gear that lives in the water, we use fabric that will not shed into it.
So we don't use it. We build with durable, longer-lasting fabric made to go the distance. Buy one cap that lasts, not three that shed.

Measure around your head just above the ears and pop it in — we'll point you to the right size. The chin cord snugs it down from there.
Reviews
Trusted by surfers worldwide.
Best cap I have ever owned. Stays on through the heaviest duck dives and the peak 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 cap that does not fly off. The 360 toggle keeps it locked in and the UPF 50+ is legit.
