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 Caps Designed by Surfers
Meet the surf cap that actually stays put.
Most surf caps on the market are designed by people who’ve never battled a duck dive or copped a clean set on the head. That’s why they slip, flop, and fail in real surf.
At Boardsox, we build surf caps that are made by surfers, for surfers — tested in real conditions, not boardrooms.
Boardsox Surf Caps are engineered for surfers who demand serious sun protection, comfort, and performance in the water. Designed to block harsh UV, cut glare, and stay locked on through wipeouts, our caps let you stay in the lineup longer — without distractions.
Whether you’re chasing dawn patrol or surfing all day, Boardsox Surf Caps deliver reliable protection without sacrificing comfort or style.
Why choose a Boardsox Surf cap?
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.
