The Best Hats For Surfers

 Surfers wear hats for all sorts of reasons.

For some, they are a comforting reminder of the maternal caul. Others find they are an aid to thought, and that without them they are next to useless, incapable of the simplest mental task. (Pro surfers are rarely trusted to face the post-heat interview without a hat on.)

Many people don a hat simply so that they can doff it respectfully to passersby. And let’s not forget the bald community, whose members have contributed so much to the progression of our sport, in spite of considerable and obvious set backs. Then of course, we have the hat-for-personality effect; the retired pro surfer in the flat cap, for example. Oh the smouldering intrigue. 

In summer, shade becomes the chief purpose of headwear, staving off heat stroke, sunburn and wrinkles. In winter, 80% of your heat, can be retained by wearing the right piece of headgear. But given the extreme temperature range experienced by the surfer, from dawn patrol chill to afternoon swelter to wee hour outdoor rave dew point, hats that offer protection from all the above are the most sought after.

Literally, our crowning glory.
