Kids Surf Accessories FAQS
Most families pack a sun-ready hat, a roomy towel, a water bottle, and a simple tote or wet/dry bag to separate damp stuff. Add sunglasses if your kiddo will be on bright sand or water for long stretches. We also love low-lift extras like sticker sheets or small bracelets for “prize” moments between sessions. For a perfect pairing, browse a swim set and a comfy tee for the ride home.
Either can work; pick what your kid will keep on. Trucker/flatbill styles evoke a surf and skate aesthetic, shading the face; bucket or curved-brim styles hug closer to the head in the wind. For exact sun-protection specifications (e.g., UPF), please refer to the individual product page, as claims vary by style and brand.
Bigger towels double as a changing mat and a sand-free snack spot; smaller towels pack more compactly. Quick-dry fabrics are especially helpful when kids jump in and out all day, making the car ride home less soggy. “Sand-shake” is more about the weave and how dry the towel is when it is shaken before it gets drenched again. If your family prefers ultra-absorbent cotton, pack two and keep one dry for the ride home.
Rinse bottles daily with hot water, and perform a thorough wash every few uses—disassemble lids, scrub crevices, and let everything air dry completely. Sand + warm temps = prime time for biofilm buildup, especially if juices sneak in. A periodic soak (e.g., diluted vinegar) helps reset odors. Dishwasher-safe bottles can go on a hot cycle if the brand allows. Tip: Pack a small bottle brush in your beach tote so you can clean after sandy snack breaks.
