Not just a surf hat

This is the second hat I’ve purchased. I have one for the beach and now I intend to use my second hat for work. I am kindy teacher and live in a very windy town so I need a good hat for when I’m outdoors a lot. I have a lot of hair so I’ve actually cut the top circle out so my messy bun can sit up the top and I can still wear a hat comfortably. I don’t need my hair blowing around and making me feel too hot. BEST HATS EVER! Also the prints…I may just need another hat because I love all the designs and colours.

The best surf hat I’ve ever owned!
I live in a very windy town. Not only do I wear this hat surfing but also on beach days running after the kids. I know I’ll keep wearing my hat because it will stay on. No excuses for not being sun smart.

Amazing surf hat

Love the colour! Bream holds the shape well so it doesn't obstruct your vision while surfing. Strap is also great making sure the hat stays on even when getting caught on the inside of bigger sets.

Looking Funky everyday

Your hats are awesome, comfortable, sunsafe and just brilliant. Love how they wash and wear, keep their shape and give me great shade evryday. Highly recommended for all those sailors out their. Cool on the head and never leaves my head with the brilliant chin strap and tighening strap. And I look fashionable at the same time.
