Swim shorts ideal for beginner surfing or any other water sport. Swimsuit designed for sessions lasting up to 1 hour.
Freedom of movement Range 100
In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs work hard, so boardshorts should 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 for improved movement and stability of the lower body.
How to choose shorts according to the waistband

Offers a secure fit and adaptability for everyone. FLAT WAISTBAND
Ensures the shorts stay in place in waves during duck dives and wipeouts. ANATOMICAL WAISTBAND
Combines the benefits of the elastic waistband (adaptability to different body shapes) and the flat waistband (stability in waves)
How to choose the size of your shorts?
Size guide in the product file. The 100 line shorts are available in sizes S to XXL. The 500 and 900 ranges are available in EU sizes 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48. Body shape may influence the choice of size. We always recommend trying on swimwear before buying. Tie the shorts and pull them down gradually. If they pull down easily, it means they are too big and you may face some surprises once you get into choppy water!
How to choose shorts according to length?
Shorter cuts (between 14” and 17”) give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of water sports, including surfing (for occasional sessions less than 1 hour). Longer cuts (between 17” and 20”) reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs and at the top of the knees during paddling. Therefore, these cuts are more suitable for regular or even intensive surfing.
What are boardshorts?
Boardshorts are a term used to define 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 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.
sun protection: essential equipment for boardshorts
In summer, when the weather is hot, but the water is cool, surfers tend to extend their surf sessions without changing equipment. Therefore, the risk of sunburn is multiplied. Did you know? 10 to 15% of UV rays are reflected by the water surface, meaning that 40 to 95% penetrate up to 25 cm below the water. Therefore, boardshorts with UV protection are becoming essential equipment for surfing in warm water. Discover our range of sun protection products!
waistband
The 100 Standard boardshorts have an elastic waistband with an anatomical design that keeps them securely fastened at sea when falling in waves.
Underwear
The 100 standard boardshorts have integrated briefs made of BOSSIS, an elastic mesh for an even better fit and reduced chafing.
Quick drying range 100
It's unpleasant when sand sticks to still-wet shorts, or even worse, when the fabric clings to the skin. To avoid this and maximize comfort when wearing wet swimwear, we recommend choosing swim shorts made from a synthetic fiber fabric component. Water will drain faster 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.
Wave resistance Range 100
When surfing, whether due to duck dives or a wipeout, it's not easy to grab and reposition shorts that have fallen while paddling at the same time...
Choosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case. Choose an elastic or semi-elastic waistband with a drawstring that runs along the entire waist. The BS100 15” shorts have a fully elastic waistband with a drawstring.
