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.

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.
