The Surf Hat with a Protective Shell Inside.

Surf SAFER Surf SAFER

Head protection for everyday surfers

Crowded lineups. Shallow reefs. Impromptu board meetings. Head injuries are on the rise. So take cover with protection that doesn't kill the vibe. The SwellShell™ looks just like a hat while giving you a lightweight bump cap-style shield. It doesn’t scream safety, but simply whispers “smart move.”

A SWELL IDEA

Strap In

More comfy and easy than a bulky buckle strap, the double D-ring holds the discreet chin strap firmly in place. It’s easily tightened or loosened out in the water without having to take the SwellShell off. Just give it a little pull or a little extra slack while keeping an eye out for that next set wave

Paddle Out

The SwellShell brim keeps a low profile, so it’s not one to brag about the extras it gives you. Like permanent SPF for your head and nose that never washes off or needs to be re-applied. It shields your eyes from splash when you don’t quite make the lip. It can even redirect the water from your face as you come up from a duck dive. Plus, you can literally tip your cap to a superior surfer. And, of course, that brim easily blocks your eye contact after a kook move. This thing is brimming with bonus coverage

Testimonials

Surf Coaches in Costa Rica:

They loved the idea of being a safety method in the water. 

The inside of the hat felt more comfortable than other hats with the same security helmet.

The side straps are super functional since they do not block the ears.
