{"product_id":"nicawana-biarritz-surf-helmet-upf50","title":"Nicawana Biarritz Surf Helmet Pink \/ Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou shouldn't have to pick between your head and your face. The Nicawana Biarritz Surf Helmet was built for that exact moment: crowded lineups, overhead sets, long sessions under a relentless sun. Born in Ericeira out of founder Silvia's own burns and close calls with other people's boards, it's the original surf hat with a removable impact insert — the idea that has shaped every Nicawana since 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnder the bright coral-pink fabric sits UPF 50+ certified material that shades your face and ears, a neoprene headband that grips wet hair, chin straps and an elastic adjuster to dial in the fit, and a hard 360° brim that holds its shape when the water hits. The impact insert lifts out in seconds when you want pure sun-shade mode, and snaps back in when the lineup gets busy. It floats. It dries fast. It weighs almost nothing. Designed in Madrid, tested in Bali, Ericeira, Nicaragua — stocked by the surf shops you actually walk into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilvia is a surfer. She got badly burnt surfing in Nicaragua and spent her sessions in Ericeira worried about the boards around her. So she made the hat she wanted to wear — the first surf hat with a removable impact insert, since 2023. The Biarritz carries her name and her line: built for the impacts that actually happen in a crowded line-up, honest about what it doesn't do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e UPF 50+ certified, quick-dry, lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadband:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neoprene, grips wet hair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrim:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hard 360°, holds shape wet, clear line of sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Removable, absorbs board and wipe-out impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chin straps, elastic adjuster, neoprene headband\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBehavior:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floats on water, quick-dry, lightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed in Madrid, shipped across Europe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse with fresh water after every session, air dry.
