The WIP Surf Bob Bump Shell is a technical wide-brimmed hat ("bob") from WIP with an integrated protective casing (bump shell), designed for water sports. The bob style offers 360° sun protection for face and nape — superior to conventional caps — while the bump shell adds basic impact protection.

Construction. Exterior in technical water-resistant fabric with quick-dry. Perimetral wide brim (approx. 6-7cm) for sun coverage in all directions. Light polymer bump shell interior. Adjustable chin strap to secure the hat in strong wind conditions. Lateral ventilation holes to reduce heat. Interior adjustment for different head sizes.

In the water. The best option in the WIP headwear range if your main goal is extended sun protection — especially for long SUP and windsurfing sessions under Majorca's sun. The 360° brim protects cheekbones, nose, nape, and ears (areas that get the most sun on the water). The bump shell makes it different from a conventional hat: it provides a basic level of head protection. For intensive foiling with frequent falls, the PROWIP 2.0 Helmet is still the most comprehensive choice.

Surf Bob Bump Shell — how we see it at El Niño Mallorca. For long summer sessions of SUP, windsurfing, or DW routes under Majorca's sun, the Surf Bob Bump Shell is one of the best headwear accessories. The chin strap is key on windy days to keep it from flying off. If you're uncertain about size or between the Bob and Cool Cap, message us on WhatsApp or stop by the shop in Pollença.
