RIP CURL S-SERIES SURF CAP | SURF CAP WITH FLOATING BRIM, FLAP AND UPF 50+ PROTECTION

The surf cap that stays on your head: UPF 50+ protection, floating visor, and full water-ready adjustment

There are surf caps, and then there are caps that hold up through the paddle, the pop-up, and a whole set of waves without moving a millimeter. The Rip Curl S-Series Surf Cap is the latter. With a high-profile construction in lightweight polyamide, an algae-based Bloom™ floating visor, a removable neck flap, and a dual-anchored chin strap with a security buckle, this cap is designed for those who surf facing the sun and don't want to waste time worrying about their head.

WHY THIS CAP MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

The S-Series Surf Cap is not a street cap with a chin strap: it is a piece of surf equipment designed with functionality in mind. The Bloom™ floating visor does not deform in the water and, if a wave wipes you out, it stays put. The removable back flap covers the nape and neck during moments of high sun exposure and can be removed in seconds when you no longer need it. The internal neoprene band gently seals the cap against the forehead so that saltwater doesn't get in and sweat doesn't sting. The rear adjustment cord allows you to regulate the crown to the millimeter, and the dual-strap chin strap with an adjustable buckle keeps everything in place during the most intense paddles. High-profile 5-panel design maintains its shape session after session.

EXPERT ADVICE

Unlike a full-brimmed hat, a surf visor cap has a more aerodynamic profile while paddling: less wind resistance and a better field of vision toward the horizon. Adjust the rear cord before entering the water to ensure a firm fit without over-tightening. The flap is especially useful during waits between sets during the middle hours of the day: put it on, protect yourself, and take it off before paddling without any issues.

RIP CURL WARRANTY — THE SEARCH

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, at the hands of Doug Warbrick and Brian Singer with a clear objective: to make the best equipment in the world for surfers. More than five decades later, the brand continues to lead innovation in wetsuits, accessories, and surf apparel under the philosophy of "The Search," launched in 1992, which reflects the spirit of continuous exploration of new waves and new horizons. The S-Series line is part of this legacy: high-performance products designed for surfers who demand more from their gear. In 2023, Rip Curl obtained B Corp certification, consolidating its commitment to sustainability and positive impact on communities and the planet.

USAGE AND CARE

Adjust the rear crown cord before entering the water to achieve a firm and personalized fit. Place the dual-strap chin strap under your chin and regulate the length of each strand with the sliding buckle until it is comfortable and secure. When you need the neck flap, unfold it; remove it when you don't. After each session, rinse the cap thoroughly with cold fresh water to remove salt, sand, and sunscreen residue. Let it dry in the shade in its natural position, away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry. It can be hand-washed with cold water and mild soap; avoid bleach and fabric softener to preserve the technical properties of the polyamide and the Bloom™ visor.
