Unlike board shorts, swim trunks feature a soft nylon mesh insert or liner.
This netting helps to prevent chafing and keeps the outer material from sticking to skin when wet. This slim-fitting pair of swim trunks has a soft feel and athletic appearance. They can double as basketball or running shorts in a pinch. They come in an array of solid colors, too. Board shorts were originally designed for surfers. Board shorts also have a tighter, more secure waistband with a Velcro fly and drawstring closure — no elastic involved.
This helps keep the shorts on while engaged in intense activities like surfing. In addition to being longer, board shorts are also narrower. Fans of these board shorts will want to buy more than one pair because of their perfect fit and stretchy material. This pair receives rave reviews for how fast they dry and for the side zipper pocket. This straightforward pair of board shorts comes in five solid colors and is more affordable than competing surf brands, without compromising on quality.
Gear fits into the Velcro side pocket. If you like longer shorts, go for board shorts.

Classic boardshorts, designed for surfers, include a Velcro-sealed and grommet-vented pocket that can securely hold keys or surf wax while the wearer engages in high-intensity water sports. Either wear small swim trunks or nothing under your boardshorts because they are designed for this reason.
Good boardshorts do not have a liner. And so they will not rub on your insides. So you can either wear nothing under them or wear trunks. That said, when I wear boardshorts in the cooler UK waters in summer, I sometimes wear some thermal shorts underneath just for an extra bit of warmth. Outerknown is a brand started by surfing legend and time world champion Kelly Slater and they sell products at a true price because they try to avoid sweatshops in China and other bad practices in manufacturing and commerce.
Because of this, Outerknown source their products from environmentally sustainable suppliers, and they try to give everyone good working conditions. So if you are concerned about ethical aspects of buying clothes and the supply chain, then Outerknown boardshorts Amazon are very high quality. And he wears them all the time. And this makes their premium surf board shorts probably the most comfortable you can get.
They have a lot of stretches. They are made from recycled materials and the rip curl board shorts all have the right fast things and a good pocket , making them extremely comfortable for surfing. The Medina Mirage range of Rip Curl board shorts Amazon are probably the best option for surf boardshorts at the moment, but buying any Rip Curl boardshorts will be a good choice and will mean you have a comfortable surf with boardshorts that will l ast you a long time to come.
Other boardshorts in the Rip Curl range Amazon are also good quality, so you can look at them if you want a slightly cheaper option. I currently have a pair of the Bob Marley range of Billabong boardshorts, which are bright, colourful, and very good quality.
The Billabong 73 Pro boardshorts on Amazon are a great option for surfers from Amazon and have all the features mentioned in this article for high quality, surfing boardshorts. Hurley makes the most technical surfboard shorts, like these Phantom shorts on Amazon, whereas Billabong makes good quality , but less expensive boardshorts. So both of those are my top two recommendations.
However, many surf brands make very good boardshorts and because they are not incredibly technical, just buying a surf brand of boardshorts is usually enough for most people. Having tried and tested many different types of surfboard shorts, I can tell you that the following features are definitely things you want in all of your boardshorts if you go surfing them. And also the fashion factor, which makes boardshorts and appealing fashion items.
Sift boardshorts should ideally have a Velcro and lace fastening with four button holes around the waist to make sure they stay on properly. When you duck dive under waves , especially when the waves get more powerfu l. The last thing you want is to lose your boardshorts in the surf because of a dodgy waistband.
Do not buy surfboard shorts with a button or yoke around the waist, because these will be uncomfortable when you are laying down paddling on your surfboard and could make for very painful surf.
Surfboard shorts do not have an elasticated waistband. But if you see an elastic kid with a waistband, it is because they are swim trunks, not surf shorts. So stay well away. They caused me to rub discomfort around the waist and they only had the single lace fast thing, which was just not enough to keep them up.
And I had a lot of duck dives where I had to pull my shorts up each time, which was not helpful. So take my advice here, get boardshorts with a proper fast thing. And you will thank me for it later. Look for boardshorts for surfing with a side pocket that is either zip or secure Velcro fastening.
Any boardshorts with a back pocket are not practical because you will sit on them. And if you put your keys in there, it could be very painful, ding your board, or just rip the shorts.
This is something I did yesterday and I can tell you, it is not a problem.
