Surf Poncho – Change comfortably, stay warm, and dry off in style
Whether you’re hitting the waves at sunrise, enjoying a long afternoon at the beach, or just need to change discreetly after a session, a surf poncho from ION makes life easier. Designed for surfers, kiters, windsurfers, and watersport lovers, our ponchos keep you warm, dry, and comfortable while giving you the freedom to change anywhere — without awkward towel juggling.
ION offers a full range of surf ponchos and storm coats, each tailored to different needs: from quick-drying and compact travel options to ultra-soft cotton comfort, kid-friendly sizes, and heavy-duty weather protection.
Why choose an ION Surf Poncho?
A surf poncho isn’t just a towel with a hood — it’s your mobile changing room, your windbreaker, and your post-session comfort zone all in one. ION’s surf ponchos are designed with premium materials, smart details, and years of watersport experience behind them. No matter your style of riding or destination, you’ll find the perfect fit in our range:
Poncho Select – Quick-drying & packable
If you travel light and need a poncho that dries in no time, the Poncho Select is your go-to. Made from a lightweight, high-performance fabric, it’s perfect for those who want a surf poncho that won’t take up much space in a backpack or van. Ideal for surf trips, camping, or any adventure where gear space is precious.
Poncho Select Bamboo – Anti-bacterial freshness
Stay fresh session after session with the Poncho Select Bamboo. This version combines the convenience of our quick-dry ponchos with the natural anti-bacterial and odor-resistant properties of bamboo fibers. A smart choice for humid climates or long trips where laundry days are rare.
Poncho Core – 100% Cotton comfort
Classic, soft, and super-absorbent — the Poncho Core is all about post-surf coziness. Made from 100% cotton, it offers a plush feel against the skin while drying you off quickly. Perfect for anyone who loves that traditional towel feel in a poncho format.
Kids Surf Ponchos – Poncho Grom & Mini Grom
Little shredders need warmth and privacy too! Our Poncho Grom and Mini Grom models are made from 100% cotton and tailored to fit kids perfectly. They make changing after surf lessons, beach days, or pool sessions easy and fun — plus they look great in bright, kid-approved colors.
Storm Coats – Weather-resistant changing robes
For cold, windy, or rainy sessions, a regular surf poncho might not be enough. That’s where our Storm Coats come in. With water-repellent outer material, thermo lining, and a roomy cut for changing, these are more like a protective coat than a poncho. Ideal for winter surfers, early morning dawn patrols, or anyone braving harsh elements.
How to choose the right Surf Poncho
When picking your surf poncho, consider:
Climate & Season – Lightweight and quick-drying for summer; storm coats for cold and wet conditions.
Material – Cotton for softness, performance fabrics for compact travel, bamboo blends for freshness.
Size & Fit – Make sure your poncho gives you enough space to change comfortably.
Use Case – Is it mainly for post-surf chill, traveling, or surviving icy beach winds?
More than just a Surf Poncho
An ION surf poncho is a versatile piece of gear. Beyond post-surf use, it’s great for:
Changing discreetly at the beach or parking lot
Warming up between sessions
Lounging around the campsite or van
Using as an extra layer on windy boat trips
Explore our full collection of surf ponchos and storm coats and find the perfect companion for your watersport lifestyle. With ION quality, you can expect durability, smart design, and the comfort you deserve — before and after every session.
