Jack's Surfboards carries kids surf clothes from newborn onesies to boys and girls size 16, from our own Jack's line plus Rip Curl, Katin, Salty Crew, Roxy and Billabong. You'll also find kids wetsuits, Vans and UGGs, bodyboards and beach toys. We've been dressing Huntington Beach groms since 1957, so the HB tees here are the real thing.
What sizes do kids surf clothes come in?

Infant (newborn to 12 months): Jack's onesies like Future Surfer and Mom Surfs.
-
Toddler (2 to 7): Jack's hoodies, tees, trucker hats and boardshorts, plus toddler Vans, UGGs and a 1mm Xcel springsuit.

-
Shoes: toddler, little kid and big kid sizes in Vans, Adidas, UGG and Birkenstock.
Kids wetsuits are sized by height and weight, not age. Our kids wetsuits page has the size charts. For everything to wear, see kids clothing.
Which surf brands do we carry for kids?
Our own Jack's Surfboards line is the biggest part of the kids section, with HB designs you won't find anywhere else, like the Little Dude tees and the HBFD and HBPD shirts. Katin makes boys tees in organic cotton, plus volleys and cord shorts. Rip Curl brings boardshorts, tees and wetsuits. Salty Crew has the fishing and shark graphics boys love, and Kaveah, Roxy and Billabong cover girls swim and activewear.
What should kids wear to the beach?
Start with boardshorts or a swim set. If they're going in the ocean in Southern California, a springsuit or a fullsuit keeps them in the water longer, because the Pacific stays cool even in summer. Pack a hoodie for after, because the beach cools off fast once the sun drops. Slip-on Vans or a pair of UGG Tasmans make the walk back to the car easy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the big three surf brands?
Rip Curl, Quiksilver and Billabong. All three started in Australia between 1969 and 1973, and by the 1990s they were known as surfing's "big three." We carry all three in kids sizes.
What is a good surf outfit for a boy?
Boardshorts, a graphic tee and a hoodie for when the wind picks up, plus slip-on shoes. For the water, add a springsuit or fullsuit. Katin, Rip Curl and our own Jack's line all make boys sizes 8 to 16.
What are good surf brands for kids?
Jack's Surfboards, Rip Curl, Katin, Salty Crew, Roxy, Billabong and O'Neill all make kids clothing, and Xcel, O'Neill and Rip Curl make kids wetsuits. Pick by what your kid actually does: in the water every weekend, go wetsuit brand. Mostly beach and school, go tees and hoodies.
