Small/Kids 54-56cm
Adults 57-59cm
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!

Real Sun Protection for Real Surfers
UPF50+ Surf Hat Sun Protection That Lasts
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
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.
WE ACTUALLY PUT OUR HATS TO THE REAL TEST!
BOARDSOX SURF HATS A COMBINATION OF
PROTECTION & STYLE
We’re a core surf company founded by surfers, for surfers. Every Boardsox surf hat is tested in the ocean, refined until it passes the wipeout test, and built to outlast every summer.
