Wake Apparel

Hoodies, hooded towels, tech pants and bags

The clothes and bags that come with the sport — not technical riding gear like vests or boots, but the stuff you wear getting to the ramp, on the boat between sets, and home again with a wet board in the back of the car. Hoodies and off-water layers. The pull-on layer for early starts and after a session, in mens, womens and kids cuts. Lightweight zip hoodies for warmer days, heavier pullovers for cooler ones. Hooded towels and ponchos. The most underrated piece of kit on the boat. A hoodie towel or poncho pulls on over wet swimmers, dries you off, blocks the wind and lets you get changed without a shivering tango in the carpark. Jetpilot makes the deepest range here in mens, womens and youth. Tech shorts and pants. Quick-dry, swim-friendly shorts and pants for wearing on the boat and in the water — Follow Tech Shorts and Tech Pants are the staple here, plus Follow Water Boardies that handle a soaking and dry fast. Tour coats and spray jackets. For cold-morning runs, long drives between sets, or coaching from the boat, a wet/dry tour coat blocks wind and spray without the bulk of a full wetsuit. Ronix Wet/Dry Neoprene Jacket and the Follow Layer 3.11 cover this off. UPF hooded sun tops. Long-sleeve hooded tops with UPF protection for full days in the sun. Bags and luggage. The kit you actually need: gear bags and duffles for getting boards and boots to the water, wheeled luggage for trips away, totes for the boat ramp, backpacks for everything else. Ronix Transfer luggage, Follow Life backpacks, duffles and gear bags, plus Jetpilot Venture totes. Brands. Ronix runs the widest hoodie and luggage range. Follow brings the technical shorts/pants and tour coats. Jetpilot covers hoodie towels and bags. Liquid Force and Armstrong round out the apparel range. Care. Rinse the salt off, dry flat away from direct sun, and the gear lasts well past the boards it travels with.
