Jay’s Story: The Origin of the SwellShell

Next post Previous post

Hi, I’m Jay. If you’re like me, nothing matches the joy of catching wave after wave on a sunny day. Okay, even on a not-so-sunny day. But after I got bonked on the head by my board a few times (or maybe it was someone else’s, I was dazed and confused) I knew I either needed to sell off my quiver or grab some head protection. But big wave helmets were overkill for my flavor of surf. And the few more minimal options just didn’t feel, or look, great. So that’s why I created the SwellShell.

With the ease and comfort of a snapback design, it makes me feel safer in the lineup without ruining the vibe. Nobody even knows I’m packing a shell under there. Plus it throws shade on my head and face without washing off. The unfortunate stats show that head injuries from surfing are on the rise. So if you're thinking of wading into the waters of lightweight head protection, I hope you consider the SwellShell. Joy to the water, my friend.
