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!

The Coco Surf Hat – UPF 50+ Surf Sun Protection Built for Australian Conditions
🌊 Ultimate Surf Protection
UPF 50+ sun protection blocks harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and long-term skin damage, crucial for Aussie surf sessions where reflected UV off the water is intense.
Quick-dry, salt-proof fabric ensures the hat stays comfortable and lightweight all day.
🌊 Designed for Real Surf Conditions
Soft rear brim innovation keeps the hat from slamming over your eyes while paddling — no blind paddles, no frustrations in the lineup.
Hard front brim cuts wind, spray, and glare so you can see sets and lines without squinting.
Secure adjustable chin strap + toggle system keeps the hat exactly where you want it, even in wipeouts.
🌞 Sun-Smart Features That Matter
Removable neck flap for extra coverage when conditions demand it, clip it on or off depending on your session.
Mesh drainage vents let water flow out instantly, keeping the hat light and drag-free in surf and shore break.
🏄 Built To Last
Whether you’re lining up early morning beach breaks or chasing summer swells, The Coco Surf Hat is crafted from durable materials that resist salt, stretch, and fading. It’s a surf hat that actually works in the waves, not just looks good on Instagram.
Add the Surf Hard Hat Shell Insertto upgrade your Jaxie Surf Hat with extra protection — without sacrificing comfort, style, or performance.
Boardsox Surf Hats are made with UPF50+ sun protective fabric, blocking harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and skin damage. Unlike sunscreen that washes away, our surf hats give you consistent sun protection for surfers, keeping your face, ears, and neck safe every time you paddle out.
Stays Put Through Wipeouts & Heavy Surf
Every detail of a Boardsox Surf Hat is built from real surf experience, not guesswork. Our soft rear brim prevents your hat from being pushed over your eyes while paddling, while the hard front brim cuts glare on the water. That’s why surfers trust us as the best surf hat in Australia , because we surf, and we’ve tested our gear in real conditions.
Built to Last With Salt-Proof, Quick-Dry Fabrics
Boardsox Surf Hats are crafted from premium, salt-resistant, quick-dry materials that hold their shape session after session. No stretching, no fading, no falling apart after one season, just a durable surf hat designed for all surf conditions.
Built by Surfers FOR SUrfers
We design hats you can actually surf in, not not just look pretty in. That’s why our hats never use a hard rear brim.
No eye-push, no flap-smack, just gear that works because we’re surfers who know what surfers need!
Our soft, functional rear design keeps your vision clear, your paddle smooth, and your hat sitting exactly where it should. And yeah… it still looks damn good.
