Yes, finally a surf hat with style in mind! 'No' to chunky black chin straps and 'Yes' to colour choices! We wanted a surf hat that looks cool in and out of the water.

Our nearly invisible, yet super strong signature chin strap can easily be tucked away when not in use. We got you covered - both for surf style and street style.

Used the hat a lot on Kauai, even on the many rainy days. Nothing but good things to say about it. Snug fit, comfortable, stays on even during the most vicious wipeouts, of which there were many. A good product all around!

I’ve gotten to surf a few times with my hat. It’s perfect and my son finds it less kooky than my chin strap bucket hat!!

Amy

I just got my hat and used it out in some good size surf and it works great! Stays on well, protects my head and is stylish and functional. Hope you sell millions and I will get another!!

Gerard

I love my Kaiola hat because I CANNOT LOSE IT! I tried all sorts of surfing maneuvers, duck diving, wipeouts and it still stays on! And of course it protects my Northern European pale skin from burning in the Portuguese sun.

I got today my dream cap! This is the best cap I ever saw!!! And I can’t wait to chase big waves as soon as possible.

Adrian

I just wanted to tell you I am soooo super stoked with my new hats! They are perfect! Can't wait to use them on my next trip!

Possibly the most excited I have ever been about a hat.
It’s perfect!
