Here at Come Kite With Us we are not only a kiteboarding school, but we are also the designers of the Buoy Wear floating hat. After kiteboarding and teaching around the globe for 5 straight years non-stop, we were on the water daily either enjoying the wind, teaching or on the beach relaxing. The sun takes a toll on your body, skin and mind. We had lost dozens of hats doing what we love on the water, kiteboarding, standup paddle boarding (SUP) and fishing. Also, the hats we used after being on the water kitesurfing would be wet, soggy and took hours to dry. Either you had to wait for your hat to dry or you had two hats, one for the water and one for the land.
We came up with the idea for a floating hat that would be easy to find floating on top of the water in any condition. Plus, be worn off the water with true surf to turf style. To do this we created the first waterman/women's hat that could be worn on and off the water. The Buoy Wear floating hat is jammed packed with features for the hydromaniac in mind.

We have been testing the Buoy Wear hat now for over 2 years. After learning what materials make for the best hat to wear on the water and still keep the style off the water, we feel we finally hit the nail on the head with what you now see today at www.buoywear.com. After hours, days and months of use on the water, the hat will not lose its shape like most floppy and water soggy hats do after a few times of use on the water. I have ridden with my hat for 6 months and it has yet to lose its shape, if you treat your hat correctly and do not smash or pack the hat tight in luggage. It will keep its shape for good.
Buoy Wear's floating hat will float above the water surface and will stay buoyant in any condition from waves, rivers, choppy lake water to flat butter goodness. The hat will rise to the top and allow you to easily spot your shade maker. While 99% of most hats do not float or they stay just at or below the surface of the water, making it very hard to see in any choppy conditions or near impossible in waves. We have tested the hats in every condition imaginable from over head waves in Mauritius, choppy lake water, the Columbia River Gorge or flat butter La Boca in the D.R. If you are a hydromaniac we recommend this is the hat for you. You can purchase the hat for $30 at www.buoywear.com. Have fun on the water and remember to protect your body from sun damage.
