Board Short FAQs

How should board shorts fit?

Board shorts should sit comfortably around your waist and offer enough room to move freely without slipping. They typically sit just above or on the knee, with a relaxed fit through the legs. A secure waistband (either elastic with a drawcord or fixed with a tie closure) is essential for staying in place during active water sports.

Do board shorts run true to size?

Most board shorts run true to size, but the fit can vary slightly between brands and styles. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up. Always check the size chart and reviews for guidance before buying.

Are board shorts quick-drying?

Yes, most modern board shorts are made from quick-drying fabrics like polyester or stretch blends. This makes them ideal for switching from surf to street without needing a change of clothes. Quick-dry material also helps reduce chafing and discomfort after swimming.

Can you wear board shorts in chlorinated water?

You can wear board shorts in pools, but regular exposure to chlorine may cause colours to fade over time. Rinse them in fresh water after swimming and let them air dry to help preserve the fabric. For frequent pool use, choose chlorine-resistant styles or swimwear-specific shorts.

Do board shorts have UPF protection?

Many board shorts are made from fabrics that include UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings to help block harmful UV rays. This added sun protection is especially useful during long beach or surf sessions. Always check the product label if UPF protection is important for you.
