Our board shorts are a fusion of authentic surf history and modern technical design. They feature our exclusive, artistic prints—from classic Surf Line Hawaii designs to retro '80s crash art—on high-performance, quick-drying fabrics, making them a unique piece of wearable art.

Can I actually surf in these board shorts?

Absolutely. They are designed as technical surf shorts with an ocean lifestyle in mind. The flexible fabric blends with spandex provide excellent stretch, while features like the secure velcro fly ensure they stay in place during any activity, from surfing to swimming.

How do you style these board shorts for a vacation?

They are the perfect foundation for any vacation outfit. For a classic beach look, pair them with a simple logo tee and sandals. To transition from the beach to a casual lunch, just throw on one of our iconic Hawaiian shirts. They are the ultimate versatile summer short.

What is the fit and length of the board shorts?

Our collection offers different fits to suit your style. We have vintage-style shorts with a shorter 7-inch inseam for a more retro look, as well as classic board shorts with a longer 9 to 10.5-inch inseam that typically falls just above the knee.

Are the Men's Board Shorts machine-washable?

Yes. To best care for your board shorts and preserve the vibrant prints, we recommend rinsing them in fresh water after saltwater exposure. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle and hang to dry or tumble dry on low.

What are the board shorts made of?

Our shorts are crafted from various high-performance, quick-drying fabric blends. You'll find lightweight nylon for a vintage feel, as well as modern cotton/polyester/spandex blends that offer the perfect combination of softness, durability, and four-way stretch.

Are these board shorts good for hot weather?

Definitely. The lightweight, quick-drying materials are designed to keep you cool and comfortable all day long, whether you're in the water or enjoying the sun. The fabric is breathable and won't weigh you down.

What does "enzyme washed" mean ?

The enzyme wash is a special treatment applied to some of our classic print board shorts. It softens the fabric and gives the artistic print a perfectly faded, worn-in look, creating an authentic vintage feel from the moment you put them on.

Do the board shorts have functional pockets?

Yes, our board shorts are designed with practicality in mind. They feature a secure back pocket for small essentials and an inner elastic loop to keep your key safe while you're in the water.

What is the difference between the "Crash Art" and "Surf Line" prints?

The "Surf Line" prints are our timeless, classic patterns that reflect our deep Hawaiian surf heritage. The "Crash Art" prints are a vibrant, expressive reimagining of our iconic, bold, and abstract designs from the 1980s, offering a more high-energy, retro look.
