Design details

What are boardshorts?
Boardshorts is a term used to designate this type of swimwear used in the world of surfing and watersports. 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 “boardshorts” comes from their use in water sports using a board, such as 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.
Choosing the right boardshorts size
Size guide on product file. The boardshorts in the 100 range are available in sizes S–XXL. The 500 and 900 ranges are available in US sizes S–XL. Your body shape influences your choice of size. We always recommend trying on swimwear before purchase. Fasten your shorts and gradually pull them downwards. If they pull down easily, they’re too big and you could be in for a few surprises once in wavy water!
Choosing your boardshorts by the waistband
Elastic Waistband Fits the boardshorts to different body shapes. Semi-elasticated Waistband Provides a secure fit and adjustability 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 elasticated waistband (adjustability to different body shapes) and the flat waistband (stability in the waves).
Choosing boardshorts by length
Shorter cuts (14–17 in) 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 (17–20 in) reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs, and at the top of the knees when paddling. Therefore, these cuts are better suited to regular or even intensive surfing.
Wave resistance 500 range
Whether it’s due to duck diving or a wipeout, retrieving and repositioning boardshorts that have fallen down isn’t easy while paddling at the same time... Choosing the right waistband for surfing is essential to avoid such mishaps. Choose a flat waistband for a more secure fit. The BS 500 has a flat, anti-slip drawstring that stays securely tied throughout your surfing or any other water sports session.
Reduced chafing 500 range
Surely the most important criterion. It is common for other boardshorts or their seams to chafe. Our boardshorts are designed specifically to limit chafing, a common issue for surfers. In addition, the boardshorts 500 benefit from a central strip that moves the seams away from the usual friction zones, thus significantly limits irritation.
Freedom of movement 500 range
In surfing, bodyboarding, and bodysurfing, the legs are very much in demand, so boardshorts must not restrict motion and should have an ample amount of stretch. These boardshorts 500 are made with a four-way stretch material.
Fast drying 500 range
It’s really uncomfortable to feel sand trapped in your still soaking wet boardshorts, or worse still, to have the shorts themselves sticking to your skin. To avoid this and to maximize comfort when wearing your wet boardshorts, we recommend choosing swim shorts made with a synthetic fibre fabric, such as this model. Water drains away faster and the swimsuit dries quickly, keeping chafing at bay.
