Main Material

Boardshorts are swimming shorts. They were created in the 1950s for surfing.
Over the years, they have become a popular style of swimsuit.
The name comes from their use in aquatic board sports, like surfing. 
They were developed primarily to limit chafing against the board.

What are boardshorts?

Sessions lasting more than 2 hours
If you tend to be on the water for more than 2 hours at a time, boardshorts with a flat waistband are ideal, as they’ll fit snugly but comfortably at the waist. A bit of stretch is also important to ensure good freedom of movement.

Boardshorts design

To choose a size, we recommend visiting the size guide available on the boardshorts product file. 
These boardshorts are available in sizes S, M, M/L, L, L/XL and XL.
You might also consider your body type. Here is some advice that could help you: 
We recommend choosing a shorter pair if you’re widest in the torso and legs, while a longer style is more suitable if you have a slender build.


How to choose the right size of boardshorts

It isn’t easy to adjust your boardshorts while you’re surfing, so it’s essential to choose the right waistband. Flat or anatomic waistbands are the best choices. Our BS 900 boardshorts feature a flat waistband as well as a flat drawstring, which makes them less likely to come untied in the water.

Wave resistance

It is surely the most important criteria.  It is common for the boardshorts or its seams to chafe. Our boardshorts are designed specifically to limit chafing, a common issue for surfers.
The 900 model’s thermobonded construction and soft Nazaré component further reduce friction.

In aquatic board sports like surfing, it’s particularly important to have maximum range of motion.so your boardshorts should have an ample amount of stretch.Our 900 boardshorts are made with a four-way stretch Nazaré component to ensure you can move freely in and out of the water.

Waterlogged boardshorts can easily become caked with sand. These boardshorts dry fast thanks to theirThe Fluor Free water-repellent treatment allows water to be evacuated and speeds up the drying process.

Quick-drying

Boardshorts length comes down to personal preference. Shorter styles, for example, provide greater freedom of movement. The average size M/L is 19 inches long (48 cm).

Length

The BS 900 features a side pocket for carrying sun sticks and other essentials while you’re out on the water. It also has inner elastic strap for your surfboard key.

Pockets

These boardshorts have a flat waistband that helps keep them up when you fall into the water or have to duck under a wave. This waistband style is also more comfortable when you lie down on the board to paddle.

Waistband

During the summer, when the weather’s hot but the water’s cool, surfers tend to stay out on the water 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.
