Boardies FAQs

What are board shorts?

Boardshorts are a type of unisex swimwear that can also double up as beachside casual wear Typically knee length with a loose fit, board shorts are also known as surf trunks or "boardies" in Australia. Unlike swim trunks, board shorts do not have a mesh inner liner, as these can impede movement, fill up with water and lead to unwanted chafing.

What to wear under board shorts

While some surfers prefer to stay au naturel underneath their board shorts, many prefer to wear a pair of swim briefs underneath. Women can choose to combine their boardies with a bikini or wear them over the top of a one piece swimsuit.

What are board shorts made of?

Boardies are designed to be quick-drying and are generally made from strong and smooth polyester or nylon material.

How to wash & care for boardies

To keep your boardies in the best possible condition, it is vital that they are washed properly. Always check the individual manufacturer's care instructions prior to washing your garment. After each use, rinse out your shorts properly in cold water, to remove salt or any other debris from the sea.
