Design details

What are boardshorts?
Boardshorts is a term used to designate this type of swimwear used in the world of surfing and water sports. Practical and comfortable, they are suitable for both men and women. This type of swimwear was created in the 1950s for surfing. In more recent years, they have become a popular style of swim shorts. The name comes from their use in aquatic board sports, like surfing.
Boardshorts design
100 range: occasional surfing and water sports. Short cut. Elastic waistband: Suitable for all body shapes. Drawstring for stability in the waves. Inner mesh: protects from chafing. Quick drying. 500/900 range: regular surfing. Various long cuts, protection from chafing. Flat waistband: a more secure fit in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts. Stretch fabric for freedom of movement.
How to choose the right size of boardshorts
Size guide on product file. The boardshorts in the 100 range are available in sizes S to 2XL. The 500 and 900 ranges are available in sizes S, S-M, M, L, XL, XL-2XL. Your body shape can influence your choice of size. We always recommend trying on swimwear before purchase. Fasten your shorts and gradually pull them downwards. If they are easy to pull down, it means they are too big and you could be in for a few surprises once you’re in the water surrounded by waves!
How to choose your boardshorts according to the waistband
Elastic waistband Helps the boardshorts to fit different body shapes. Semi-elastic waistband Provides a secure fit and adaptability for everyone. Flat waistband Ensures the boardshorts stay in place in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts. Anatomic design waistband Combines the benefits of the elastic waistband (adaptability to different body shapes) and the flat waistband (stability in the waves)
Wave resistance 100 range
When surfing, whether it’s due to duck diving or a wipeout, it’s not easy to retrieve and reposition boardshorts that have fallen down while paddling at the same time... Choosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case. Go for an elastic or semi-elastic waistband with a drawstring that goes all the way round the waist. The BS 100 15-inch boardshorts have a fully elastic waistband with drawstring.
Reduced chafing 100 range
This has got to be the most important criterion when choosing swim shorts. It’s not uncommon for a swimsuit or boardshorts to rub and irritate the skin. Our boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to minimise chafing as much as possible during your time in the water. On the 100 range of our swim shorts, the inner mesh or briefs help to reduce the occurrence of this unpleasant phenomenon.
Freedom of movement 100 range
In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs are working hard, so boardshorts need to not restrict either bending/stretching or kicking. A two-way (2 horizontal directions) or four-way (4 horizontal and vertical directions) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement. A short cut (under 17 inches) also allows enhanced lower body movement and stability.
Fast drying 100 range
It is quite uncomfortable to feel the sand sticking to your boardshorts because they are still soaked with water, or worse still, to feel the fabric of the boardshorts sticking to your skin. To avoid this and to maximise comfort when you wear your swimsuit wet, we recommend you choose swim shorts made from a synthetic fibre fabric component. Water will drain away faster and the swimsuit will dry quickly, keeping chafing at bay.
How to choose boardshorts according to length?
Shorter cuts (between 14 and 17 inches) give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of water sports, including surfing (for occasional sessions of less than 1 hour). Longer cuts (between 17 and 20 inches) reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs, and at the top of the knees when paddling. These cuts are therefore better suited to regular or even intensive surfing.
Pockets
These boardshorts have three pockets, including two on the sides. The pockets are mesh-lined to drain water and sand more quickly.
Waistband
These boardshorts feature an anatomic semi-elastic waistband that keeps them securely in place even when you fall into the waves.
Inner briefs
These boardshorts feature built-in stretch-mesh briefs for an even better fit and reduced chafing.
Sun protection: essential boardshort equipment
In summer, when the weather is hot but the water is cool, surfers tend to make their surfing sessions longer without changing their equipment. This increases the risk of sunburn. Did you know? The water’s surface reflects 10%–15% of UV rays, leaving 40%–95% to penetrate to a depth of up to 25 cm. This is why pairing boardshorts with sun protection (e.g., UV top) is becoming essential for surfing in warm weather. Discover our sun protection range!
