Designed by surfers
The Green Room Boardsox Surf Cap is a green surf cap named for the barrel, built to stay locked on through every duck dive.
Named for the barrel and finished in green, the Green Room is a low profile surf cap for surfers who want less bulk. The hard front brim holds through wind and wipeouts and keeps glare off the water, and it wears just as well off the beach.
- Hard front brim that punches through wind and spray and still lets you see while paddling
- Built by surfers to stay locked on through duck dives and wipeouts
- Adjustable fit that holds on windy days
- Sun protection that cuts glare in the lineup
- Quick drying, salt resistant fabric
- Low profile cap shape you can wear in and out of the water
Designed by surfers, for surfers, and tested in real Australian surf.
- Lightweight, packable 5-panel surf cap built for full days in the water
- Soft rear panel that stays comfortable while you paddle
- Structured front peak that holds shape through duck dives and cuts glare
- Neoprene chin strap and toggle so it stays on through wipeouts
- Adjustable buckle for a secure fit
- UPF 50+ rated sun protection
- Removable legionnaires 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 by the Boardsox crew.

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.

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.

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