Surf Shorts

Surf shorts are often called boardshorts. These are shorts that both girls and guys wear in the water. While some locations call for wetsuits, mild and tropical climates do not.

Boardshorts are the answer for many surfers in temperate locations. These shorts generally feature a drawstring closure at the waist to ensure that they stay on, even while riding killer waves. The difference between various surf shorts is in the details and the brand names.

Wearing a rashguard as a shirt with their boardshorts gives surfers mobility and protection from sun and rash. Different makers of boardshorts offer slightly different features. Some may have stretch in their fabric, while others do not. Contrasting waistbands, embroidery, lightweight fabric and seams to eliminate skin irritation are all options for surf shorts.
