Surf Towels That Dry Fast, Pack Small, and Don’t Hold Sand

Happy Faced surf towels are designed for life around saltwater; before the paddle out, after the rinse, and everywhere in between. These quick-dry surf towels shake off sand, dry fast, and pack down small, so you’re not hauling a soggy mess back to the car or stuffing a wet brick into your board bag.

  • Quick-dry microfiber that dries fast after saltwater sessions
  • Sand-resistant weave—shake it out and move on
  • Lightweight and packable for backpacks, surf trips and road missions
  • Artist-designed graphics you won’t see on every beach
  • Machine washable and built for repeat use, they just get softer as they age

From dawn patrol to post-surf parking-lot naps, these towels are built for surfers who want less bulk, less stink, and more time in the water.

Surf Towel FAQs

Are Happy Faced surf towels good for saltwater?

Yes. Our quick-dry microfiber surf towels are made to handle saltwater and dry fast afterward, so they don’t stay damp or stink up your bag.

Do microfiber surf towels get heavy when wet?

No. Microfiber stays lightweight even when soaked, making it easier to carry and faster to dry than traditional cotton towels.

Will these surf towels fit in a board bag or surf pack?

Absolutely. Happy Faced surf towels roll up small and fit easily into board bags, backpacks, and car trunks.

Can I use a Happy Faced surf towel as a changing towel?

Yes. They’re large enough to wrap up and change comfortably—perfect for staying warm and saving a little dignity in the parking lot.
