From Sand to Street: Surf Apparel That Works

True surf apparel is about function first. It has to survive relentless sun, abrasive sand, and corrosive saltwater—and still look decent when you stop for food on the way home.

The Post-Surf Poncho

If you don't own a surf poncho, you're doing parking lot changes wrong. It's a wearable towel that gives you total privacy to change out of a wetsuit, keeps the wind off you, and dries you instantly.

Boardshorts That Perform

A good pair of boardshorts should have a slight stretch for mobility, a secure tie (so they stay on during wipeouts), and dry in minutes, not hours.
