Because women have always been in the lineup. It’s time their gear caught up.

Try finding a women’s hooded rashguard that’s actually made to surf in. Most brands don’t bother. They point you to the men’s version and tell you to size down.

That search is where Vampire Surf Club began—not as a statement, but as a solution.

We launched with women’s surfwear first because it was necessary. Women’s bodies move differently in the water. Our needs are different. Yet most performance surf gear still follows male-centric design principles, treating other body types as an afterthought.

So we made what we couldn't find: a women's hooded rashguard designed for real surf conditions by women who surf.

Where Style meets Performance

The UPF50+ Keramas Hooded Rashguard for Women brings intentional design to women's surf gear. Every detail serves a purpose:

Cropped precisely at the waist—because anything longer rides up in the water. The cut holds exactly where it should, moving with you through every paddle and pop-up.

Contoured to flatter and perform—with gusseted underarms that don't chafe or restrict movement.

3-panel hood with enlarged peak—clean lines that cut glare, snug enough to stay put, comfortable enough to forget it's there.

Premium UPF50+ Hydra-Fit fabric—made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon yarn, it’s lightweight, fast-drying and durable.

Pair it with the Malibu Swimsuit for full-body coverage, or the Ensenada High-Waisted Briefs for a two-piece set that’s as functional as it is flattering, and surf from dawn to dusk without worrying about anything but the next wave.

The Best Sun Protection for Surfers

Surfers face constant UV exposure from above and below as rays bounce off the water's surface. While reef-safe mineral sunscreens provide protection, they wash off. A hooded rashguard offers something better: physical sun protection that doesn't fade, doesn't need reapplication, and doesn't harm the reef.

The Keramas Hooded Rashguard for Women provides UPF50+ coverage for those high-impact zones, the face, neck and shoulders, where sun damage accumulates fastest. So you can spend more time in the water without worrying about damaging your skin.

Designed for the lineup—not the sidelines

Women have always been in the lineup. From the beaches of Waikīkī to the peeling rights at First Point, they’ve carved space in surf culture on their own terms.

This isn’t about trends. It’s about setting a new standard—women’s surfwear designed with intention.

This is surfwear for the design-conscious, where aesthetics and function don’t compete. Where each piece reflects the depth, range, and soul of the women who wear it.

To the surfers rewriting the narrative—and the ones who’ve been holding the line long before hashtags and highlight reels—we see you. The Keramas Hooded Rashguard for Women was made for you.
