Surf's up!
Posted on 11th Sep 2017
This summer, Alex surfed the Corolla waves of the Outer Banks while rocking a Flap Hat by Stingray. “This hat was perfect for surfing all day while not having to worry about getting my face burnt at all!” Alex said. Spending hours on end, in and out of the water while wearing a waterproof hat that doesn’t budge is essential for an active surfer. “I go hard when I’m doing my water activities, I was so surprised that I didn’t lose it”.
A few great things about this sun protection legionnaire style hat: it floats, so if for some reason it does fall off, it will be easy to find; it’s extremely light weight; the water hat has strings to keep it in place on your head; it's waterproof; it comes in several colors; and it protects your face from the harmful UV sun rays! “Any time I’ve worn a hat in the water other than this one, it either falls off constantly or ends up sinking.” That doesn’t sound fun!
The flap hat isn’t only great for surfing or beach activities, it's also great for fishing, water skiing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, sailing, stand-up paddle boarding, and more! It’s essential for any activity under the sun.
“All in all, I would give this hat a 10/10. I never had to reapply sunscreen on my face once, and I got to surf all day!”
Men and women: give this hat a go if you want to shred the waves while protecting your skin!
