Wife liked the color and came out of the store with it. Points for buying me something I guess.

Must have some hidden meaning. Google it and see what comes up.

I’ve never paid much attention to the surfers on SXM. Is there a particularly good surf spot with a left break?

Maybe Mullet on a rough surf day.

My first thought would be driving on the left but St. Maarten/St. Martin is not on the left. It may have been ordered randomly without thought to any meaning.

A surf spot with a left break is probably it. The surfboard on top of the truck makes sense for that. Thanks

"Keep Left" per Urban Dictionary.com

"Euphemistically to take precaution against expected obstacles."

Hope this helps.

The phrase "keep left Sint Maarten" appears to be a reference to the Sint Maarten national football(soccer) team's playing style, specifically their effective use of the left flank. The team's left side is noted as particularly difficult for opponents to defend against.

All and all, it's a cool hat, one that is a conversation starter!!! I'm a surfer, there isn't big waves to ride the tube on the island!! But I have my Boogie board in search of that one good wave!! LOL!!!
