How SurfShell gets tested, and why it matters
This isn’t just a cap with a dream. It’s a certified impact-resistant helmet.
SurfShell was built to meet ANSI Z89.1 impact standards—the same category used to evaluate helmets for construction, industrial, and light sports use. That means you’re not just getting a stylish add-on—you’re getting real protection with proven results.
The core is a 2mm silicone foam liner, designed to absorb shock while remaining soft and flexible. The shell sits snug thanks to a snapback fit, and the strap system stays firm even in wet conditions. Jay (our founder) tested it in real surf, real wipeouts, and real collisions—on purpose.
Every decision was made with the everyday surfer in mind: comfort, confidence, and performance without the bulk.
Because your surf gear should work as hard as you do.
