Forward WIP Surf Cap Bump Shell Grey Blue

Surf Cap Bump Cap Shell – Lightweight Comfort and Agility

The Surf Cap Bump Cap Shell (Model WIPSURFCAP) is designed for anyone seeking reliable, lightweight head protection on the water. Do you love spending long hours surfing or enjoying other water sports? If you want to protect your head from the sun or minor bumps without wearing a bulky helmet, this bump cap shell provides the perfect blend of safety and freedom.

Key Features

• UV protection: Keeps your scalp shielded during extended sessions, even in harsh sunlight.
• Impact absorption: Softens minor knocks commonly experienced while surfing or foiling.
• Cut and penetration resistance: Reduces scrapes from boards or foils for added safety.
• Lightweight build: Delivers protective benefits while feeling light and barely noticeable.
• Short cork peak: Minimizes glare while helping with duck diving and vision on the water.
• Rear double adjustment: Ensures a secure, personalized fit for various head shapes and sizes.
• Flexible shell: Adapts comfortably to your head for stable long-lasting wear.
• Ear protection: Side panels guard the ears from wind and impact.

Certified Safety

This shell meets the strict NF EN812 Norm for head coverage. While it’s not a full helmet under EN1385, it offers reliable protection against minor impacts and the dangers of overexposure to the sun. The lightweight bump cap solution makes it a smart option for low-risk water activities where flexibility and comfort are top priorities on the waves.

Comfort-First Design

Both style and function are at the core of this cap’s design. The short cork peak is shaped to preserve your vision when duck diving, while the soft shell molds easily to your head. Dual rear adjustments keep it secure, so there’s no fiddling between rides. Many users praise its discreet feel, stating that security and protection are noticeable only when needed most.

Bump Cap Benefits for Water Sports

With inspiration from scallop shells, this shell achieves impressive strength-to-weight ratios ideal for surfers and foilers. The outer hard material increases flexibility and protects against knocks while maintaining low weight. This biomimicry keeps the cap durable, flexible, and effective without unnecessary bulk.

Ideal Users

• Regular surfers and surfoil enthusiasts
• Wing foilers, downwind racers, and adventure seekers
• SUP riders, pumpers, and light sailors
• Windsurfers and kitesurfers needing extra protection
• Coaches, lifeguards, and sailing instructors alike

This shell was built for surfing and foiling, providing a very stable fit even in active whitewater. The design resists lift during heavy duck dives and excels in warm water, where traditional helmets are uncomfortable. It guards both your head and ears, letting you focus on every session with confidence and comfort.

Sizes to Fit Every Rider

• S-M: Suits head circumferences between 54–58 cm
• L-XL: Fits head circumferences from 58–62 cm

What Makes the Bump Cap Stand Out?

• Extremely lightweight and securely contoured for comfortable all-day sessions.
• Excellent protection from sunlight, impacts, and offers natural ventilation.
• Minimal profile—great for style-conscious surfers seeking sleek water wear.
• Trusted for everyday protection by surfers, foilers, and safety-minded coaches.
