The Forward WIP SURF CAP Bump Shell brings discreet impact protection to a classic surf cap design — perfect for riders who want safety without sacrificing style or comfort.
Sitting between a soft cap and a full helmet, this innovative bump shell is certified to EN812 standards (⚠️ not EN1385 helmet certified). Developed over two years of testing with athletes and designers, its biomimetic shell structure draws inspiration from the strength and shape of scallop shells for exceptional protection-to-weight performance.
Purpose-built for high-mobility water sports, the SURF CAP provides lightweight impact protection, UV coverage, and a secure fit that stays put in the waves.
