Surf Ponchos: Comfort and Practicality Before and After the Session

(63 products)

The poncho: much more than just a simple towel

The surf poncho has become an essential part of the gear & surf accessories for practitioners. Initially designed to allow surfers to change easily on the beach, it has gradually established itself as a true comfort accessory before and after sessions.

Since 1976, we have seen that the poncho is one of the most used pieces of equipment by regular practitioners. Its practicality and versatility make it a valuable ally for both daily outings and surf trips.

Why use a poncho?

The main advantage of the surf poncho is that it allows you to change easily without having to look for a changing room or a secluded spot. It also protects against the wind after coming out of the water and effectively absorbs moisture thanks to its soft and absorbent materials.

This combination of comfort and practicality explains why it accompanies the majority of surfers at spots around the world today.

Choosing the right poncho based on its use

Not all ponchos meet the same needs. Terry cloth models prioritize absorption and comfort, while some thicker versions offer more warmth during winter sessions.

The choice mainly depends on the frequency of use, the climate, and the level of comfort sought after sessions.

A useful accessory well beyond surfing

Even though its name directly associates it with sliding sports, the surf poncho is also used in bodyboarding, paddleboarding, coastal walking, open water swimming, or simply during beach days.

Its ability to simplify changing and provide a personal comfort space makes it a favored accessory among many water sports practitioners.

Completing your beach gear

The poncho naturally fits into a complete beach setup. The Beach Towels provide a practical complement, while Sunscreens effectively protect the skin during long exposure days.

The Surf Hats also complete the gear to enhance comfort during the sunniest periods.

Facilitating travel and trips

Practitioners who travel regularly particularly appreciate the versatility of ponchos. Paired with Waterproof Bags, they make it easy to organize the transport of wet belongings after a session.

The Surf Transport equipment facilitates moving gear to the most remote spots.

Comment choisir un poncho de surf pour un enfant ?

Choisissez selon la taille réelle de l’enfant, plutôt que son âge uniquement. Le poncho doit permettre de bouger et de se changer sans traîner au sol. Une version absorbante convient pour se sécher après la baignade ; un modèle doublé et imperméable répond davantage aux sorties fraîches et venteuses.

Comment laver et faire sécher son poncho ?

Suivez l’étiquette : un poncho en coton et un modèle imperméable ne s’entretiennent pas de la même façon. Pour un Dryrobe Advance, limitez les lavages, évitez l’adoucissant et le sèche-linge, et laissez sécher à température ambiante. Faites toujours sécher votre poncho avant de le ranger.
