⚡ Lightweight & Low-Profile – Designed to stay barely noticeable inside your surf shell hat so you can paddle, duck dive, and score waves without distraction.
🌀 Shock-Absorbing Comfort, Rigid ABS outer shell combined with EVA foam cushioning softens bumps and cuts from fins and board edges.
🔄 Removable & Flexible – Slip it in when you want protection, take it out when you just want to cruise, all while keeping your surf shell hat performing as intended.

Perfect for Every Surf Session

Whether you’re heading to a crowded beach break, learning new manoeuvres at your local, or just chasing waves with mates, this surf shell insert adds peace of mind without the bulk of a full helmet.

⚠️ Important Surf Safety Note

This is not a certified surf helmet, helps reduce the severity of knocks, bumps and fin cuts. Surfing always carries risk, and no product can eliminate that entirely.

Add it to your cart now to level up your surf shell gear and stay in the water longer, safer, and with more peace of mind.
