Skating and surfing go hand in hand—same love for flow, stoke, and the endless search for that next session. At IPD Surf, we design gear that keeps up no matter where you ride: from the ocean swell to the concrete bowls.
Whether you’re hitting the streets, cruising the park, or just rolling with the crew, having the right gear can make all the difference. Here’s a breakdown of the IPD pieces that have become staples in our skate rotation, blending comfort, durability, and that effortless style we’re all chasing.
GULLY BEANIE – A SKATER’S BEST FRIEND
First things first: headwear. The Gully Beanie is a go-to whether you’re skating under overcast skies or cold evening sessions. It’s soft, fits like a dream, and stays put without itching or sagging — meaning no distractions when you’re trying to land that trick.
Its clean design and subtle colorways make it easy to pair with anything—hoodies, tees, or jackets. Plus, it’s just warm enough to keep the chill off without overheating once you start moving. Pro tip: it also works great to stash under a helmet when you want a bit of extra warmth without bulk.
TIGER MASCOT TEE – SKATE STYLE WITH A SURF TWIST
You can’t skate without a solid tee, and the Tiger Mascot Tee is one of our favorites for that laid-back, street-ready look. The graphic’s bold but not over the top—perfect for showing a bit of personality without screaming for attention.
Made from soft, breathable cotton, it’s light enough to keep you cool when you’re charging the park, but durable enough to handle scrapes and falls without losing shape. It’s a tee that feels like your old favorite right from the first wear—and that’s exactly how we want it.
Wear it solo or layer it under the Evergreen Flannel when things cool off.
EVERGREEN FLANNEL – LAYER UP WITH CLASSIC COZY
Speaking of layers, the Evergreen Flannel is where function meets comfort with a classic vibe. Soft, warm, and just the right weight, it’s perfect for those cooler mornings or late afternoon sessions when the sun dips but the stoke stays high.
What sets it apart? The fit. It’s relaxed enough to move freely but tailored enough to avoid the bulky “shirt-jacket” look unless that’s your style. The minimal branding keeps it versatile, so you can throw it on over the Tiger Mascot Tee or swap it out with a tee and still feel dialed.
WHALES CORD – DURABLE PANTS THAT GET BETTER WITH TIME
When it comes to pants, you want something that can take a beating. Enter the Whales Cord—our corduroy pants built for street and skate wear. The fabric is thick and rugged without feeling stiff, and the fit hits that sweet spot between relaxed and streamlined.
They’ve got enough stretch to keep you comfortable while pushing and popping, and the classic corduroy texture adds a subtle edge to your look. Plus, they age beautifully—the kind of pants that look better the more you wear and skate them.
Pair them with the Gully Beanie and a tee for an effortless, all-day vibe.
BONUS: FIVE SIX BOARDSHORT – NOT JUST FOR THE WATER
Here’s a little secret: the Five Six Boardshort isn’t just for waves. On warmer days, these boardshorts make a killer skate short—lightweight, flexible, and quick-drying. Perfect if you’re cruising around town, hopping between skate spots, or rolling straight from the beach to the park.
The fit is streamlined but not tight, and the fabric has enough durability to hold up to some abrasion. Plus, they pair nicely with any tee or lightweight top. Trust us, once you try them skating, you’ll want a pair in your rotation for those no-fuss days.
WHY IPD GEAR WORKS FOR SKATE
The connection between surfing and skating isn’t just lifestyle—it’s about movement, flow, and freedom. Our gear reflects that. It’s designed to move with you, withstand the falls and scrapes, and keep you comfortable whether you’re carving the waves or the streets.
We focus on fabrics that breathe and stretch, fits that feel natural, and details that make life easier: be it reinforced seams, easy layering options, or just clean designs that work everywhere.
FINAL WORD
Skating isn’t just a sport—it’s a lifestyle. The right gear helps you express that without compromise. From the Gully Beanie keeping your head warm, to the Tiger Mascot Tee laying down classic style, to the Evergreen Flannel and Whales Cord for all-day comfort and durability, and even the Five Six Boardshort for those warm, effortless sessions—IPD Surf has your skate wardrobe locked down.
