Boardshorts: ideal on the board and in the water
Boardshorts are not only great for the surf or SUP board; even though they originated in the surfing scene, many people wear them around town. These shorts, made of lightweight synthetic material, are usually a little wider and longer than pure swimming shorts and often don't have a lining inside. This doesn't affect their suitability for swimming, but it does mean they dry faster, which is very helpful when on the SUP. Boardshorts are also more robust and should be able to withstand the rigours of surfing.

Why Finding the Right Board Shorts is Important

Watersports lovers, assemble! Board shorts are great for showing your love for surfing, wakeboarding, and just chilling by a pool. They come in lots of fresh colours, are comfortable to wear and are always trendy. Having originated from the surfing scene, board shorts have evolved to look excellent for a Saturday morning of shopping or a summer evening stroll.

What are board shorts?

Let's see how board shorts differ from other types of shorts, such as swimming shorts. Board shorts are made of lightweight synthetic material. Also, they are a bit wider and longer than swimming shorts.

Because they are so lightweight, they don't weigh you down, and they dry quite fast. This is perfect as you hop on and off your surfboard, SUP board and so on. The materials used to make board shorts are quite strong to withstand a rigorous, action-packed session on the water.

How to pick the right board shorts

With so many styles, colours and sizes of board shorts, it's important to keep top of mind what you'll want them to look like on you. A cool design is one thing, but how they sit on your body is also important. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you pick your next pair of board shorts.

Colour and pattern

An exciting thing about board shorts is the colours. Expect to see bright colours when shopping for them in any store. You can decide to go with a solid, bright colour that can be paired with any colour t-shirt, thus making it an easy pick when you're dressing up.

On the other hand, you can pick a pattern that's reflective of your personality. There are tie-dye designs, cartoon characters or “tropical” themes. Wear them with a solid colour t-shirt for a cool but trendy look.

Design and Functionality

Material pattern aside, you also need to consider the design. Some board shorts have a drawstring design, while others have a simple elastic band. Whether you choose one or the other is a matter of preference, but either way, the shorts can expand to fit your waist perfectly. Other considerations are whether you want board shorts with pockets and the length you'd prefer.

At the end of the day, when it comes to picking the best board shorts for you, you need to keep in mind whether they fit well and whether they fit your lifestyle in and out of the water.
