The coolest high-schooler we know-Mason Graf.
Let’s be real—back to school hits different when your summer’s been all swell, sun, and zero alarms. But just because you’re heading back to the grind doesn’t mean you have to ditch the vibe. Whether you’re coasting into first period or chasing sunset after class, we’ve got your kit dialed with gear that carries the surf spirit wherever you roam.
Here are your IPD Surf Back-to-School Essentials—made for early mornings, late missions, and everything in between.
1. The Evergreen Flannel — Your Year-Round Ride or Die
This one’s a no-brainer. The Evergreen Flannel is a staple that earns its name—it’s the kind of piece you’ll wear on repeat all year long. Morning marine layer? Toss it on over a tee. Cool evening skate to the pier? You’re covered.
Soft, durable, and built to look better with age, this flannel rides the line between laid-back and pulled-together. It’s school-approved but surf-shop certified. It’s also legit for layering, so whether you’re pairing it with a hoodie or just rocking it solo, you’re locked and loaded.
Pro tip: Leave it in your locker or your backseat—it’s the layer you’ll always wish you had.
2. The Chase Boardshort — From Homeroom to Lineup
Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear The Chase Boardshort.
Think of these as your built-in excuse to hit the beach before or after class. These boardies aren’t just for the water—they’re clean enough to blend in at school and technical enough to rip in the surf. We’re talking 4-way stretch, quick-dry fabric, and a fit that doesn’t quit.
If you’ve ever sprinted from last period to catch the last set of the day, the Chase is made for you. They dry fast, look sharp, and always keep up.
3. The Foundation Tee — Back to Basics, but Better
Every solid fit starts with a strong foundation, and that’s exactly what you get with the Foundation Tee. Clean lines. Premium feel. No gimmicks.
This isn’t just another tee in your drawer—it’s the one that makes the others jealous. Crafted from super soft cotton and built with a modern fit, it holds up to all-day wear and after-school hangouts without losing its shape (or your respect).
We kept the branding subtle but the quality loud. Wear it on its own or under your flannel, hoodie, or jacket—it always hits right.
4. The Trucker Bob Hat — Shade, Style, and Story
The Trucker Bob Hat isn’t just a lid—it’s a statement.
With a breathable mesh back, bold patch front, and that just-right broken-in feel, this hat earns its keep from sun-up to sundown. Whether you’re shielding your eyes from the morning light on your bike ride or just hiding bedhead (we’ve all been there), the Trucker Bob delivers.
Plus, it’s named after a legend—and when you wear it, you carry a little bit of that legacy with you.
5. The Gully Beanie — When the Temp Drops, You Stay Hot
Early mornings, late-night bonfires, and winter swell checks just hit different in the Gully Beanie. This is the essential cold-weather piece that never tries too hard—simple, warm, and stylish in an “I didn’t even try” kind of way.
It’s got that low-key cuffed fit and soft knit texture that works with pretty much anything. Beanies aren’t just for winter anymore—throw it on when the breeze picks up or when your look needs a little edge.
One wear and it’ll live permanently in your backpack, we promise.
Final Bell: Essentials That Actually Matter
Back to school isn’t about giving up your freedom—it’s about bringing the summer spirit with you. Whether you're dodging hall monitors or chasing waves, IPD Surf gear is built to move, last, and rep your lifestyle.
These aren’t just clothes. They’re part of your routine, your rhythm, and your crew.
So this year, show up ready. Ready for class. Ready for post-school surf missions. Ready for everything that doesn’t fit neatly in a syllabus.
The Evergreen Flannel, Chase Boardshort, Foundation Tee, Trucker Bob Hat, and Gully Beanie — they’ve got your back.
Now pack your bag, hit the alarm (maybe), and don’t forget to chase the good stuff.
