Ideal boardshorts for beginner surfers or any other watersports.Swimwear designed for sessions lasting up to 1 hour.
Freedom of movement 100 range
In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs work a lot, so boardshorts shouldn't restrict either bending/stretching or kicking. A two-way (2-way horizontal) or four-way (4-way horizontal and vertical) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement. A short cut (under 17 inches) also allows for improved movement and stability of the lower body.

How to choose your boardshorts size?
Size guide in the product sheet. The 100 range boardshorts are in sizes S to XXL. The 500 and 900 ranges are available in EU sizes 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Your body shape may influence size choice. We always recommend trying on swimwear before purchasing. Tie the boardshorts and pull them down gradually. If they pull down easily, they're too big and you could be in for a surprise as soon as you get in the waves!
How to choose your boardshorts according to length?
Shorter cuts (between 14” and 17”) give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of watersports, including surfing (for occasional sessions less than 1 hour). Longer cuts (between 17” and 20”) reduce chafing from the board or wax on the thighs and top of the knees during paddling. These cuts are therefore more suited to regular or even intensive surfing.
What are boardshorts?
Board shorts is a term used to define this type of swimwear worn 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 recent years, they have become a popular style of swim shorts. The name "boardshorts" comes from their use in watersports using a board, such as surfing.
Sun protection:Essential boardshorts gear
In summer, when the weather is hot but the water is cool, surfers extend sessions without changing gear. The risk of sunburn is therefore multiplied. Did you know? 10 to 15% of UV rays are reflected by the water's surface, meaning 40 to 95% penetrate up to 25 cm under water. Boardshorts with sun protection (UV, etc.) are therefore becoming essential equipment for surfing in warm water. Discover our range of sun protection products!
Waistband
The 100 Standard boardshorts have an elasticated waistband with an anatomical design that keeps them firmly fixed at sea when falling in the waves.
Inner shorts
The 100 standard boardshorts have integrated briefs made from BOSSIS, an elastic mesh for an even better fit and reduced chafing.
Quick drying 100 range
It's quite unpleasant to feel sand sticking to your boardshorts because they're still soaking wet with water, or even worse, to feel the fabric of the boardshorts sticking to your skin. To avoid this and for comfort with wet swimwear, opt for shorts with a synthetic fabric. Water will drain more quickly and the swimwear will dry quickly, avoiding chafing.
Pockets
The 100 Standard boardshorts have three pockets, two of which are on the sides. The pockets are mesh-lined to effectively drain water and sand.
Resistance to waves 100 Range
When surfing, whether due to duck diving or to a wipeout, it's not easy to grab and reposition boardshorts that have fallen down while paddling at the same time...
Choosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case. Opt for an elastic or semi-elastic waistband with a drawstring that goes all the way around the waist. The BS100 15” boardshorts have a fully elasticated waistband with drawstring.
