It is surely the most important criteria. It is common for the boardshorts or its seams to chafe. Our boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to limit chafing as much as possible during practice time.

In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs are very much in demand, so the men\'s swimming costume should not restrict either bending or swimming. A short shape for greater freedom of movement.

It is quite uncomfortable to feel the sand sticking to your boardshorts because they are still soaked with water. For this reason, choose a \"Stretch\" component which evacuates water more quickly.

Boardshorts are swimming shorts and more generally a style of swimsuit for men and, more recently, for women. They were created in the 1950s for surfing. Over past years they have become a popular style of swimming suit. The name \"boardshorts\" comes from their use in watersports using a board, such as surfing. It is primarily used to limit chafing due to the friction of the board.

Choosing long boardshorts only really depends on your preference. However you should know that the shorter your shorts are the greater the freedom of movement. The length 14 inches is equal to a length of 35.5 cm in an average L size

While surfing, whether it\'s due to duck diving or a wipe out it is not easy to reposition your boardshorts because they slide down your buttocks... So choosing the correct waistband becomes essential. Preferably an elasticated or semi-elasticated waistband with a drawstring or a flat waistband for a better hold.

FOR SESSIONS UNDER 1 HOUR If you surf for less than one hour, you need a men’s swimsuit which does not fall down each time you go under the water. Short boardshorts can enable freedom of movement, recommended for bodyboarding. The quickness of drying will be quite important so that sand does not stick to your boardshorts.

Your shape can equally influence your choice. Here is some advice that could help you. If you have more muscles in the torso and legs, then choose a short pair which will highlight your figure.

In summer, when it is hot weather but cool in the water, surfers tend to make their surfing sessions longer without changing their equipment. The risk of sunburn is therefore multiplied. Did you know? 10 to 15% of UV reflects off of the water surface meaning that 40 to 95% penetrates through up to 25 cm under water. This is why boardshorts combined with sun protection (UV top, etc.) are becoming the essential equipment for warm water surfing. Discover our sun protection range!
