TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
What are boardshorts?
Boardshorts is a term used to designate this type of swimwear used in the world of surfing and water sports.
Practical and comfortable, they are suitable for both men and women.
This type of swimwear was created in the 1950s for surfing. In more recent years, they have become a popular style of swim shorts.
The name "boardshorts" comes from their use in water sports using a board, such as surfing.
How to choose your boardshorts
100 RANGE: occasional surfing and water sports.
Short cut.
Elasticated waistband: suitable for all body shapes. Drawstring for stability in the waves.
Inner mesh: protects from chafing.
Quick drying.
500/900 RANGE: regular surfing.
Various long cuts, protection from chafing.
Flat waistband: a more secure fit in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts.
Stretch fabric for freedom of movement.
How to choose the size of your boardshorts?
Size guide on product file.
The boardshorts in the 100 range are available in sizes S to XXL.
The 500 and 900 ranges are available in EU sizes 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48.
Your body shape can influence your choice of size.
We always recommend trying on swimwear before purchase. Fasten your shorts and gradually pull them downwards. If they are easy to pull down, it means they are too big and you could be in for a few surprises once you’re in the water surrounded by waves!
How to choose your boardshorts according to the waistband
ELASTICATED WAISTBAND
Helps the boardshorts to fit different body shapes.
SEMI-ELASTICATED WAISTBAND
Provides a secure fit and adaptability for everyone.
FLAT WAISTBAND
Ensures the boardshorts stay in place in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts.
ANATOMIC DESIGN WAISTBAND
Combines the benefits of an elasticated waistband (adaptability to different body shapes) and a flat waistband (stability in the waves).
How to choose boardshorts according to length?
Shorter cuts (between 14" and 17") give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of water sports, including surfing (for occasional sessions of less than 1 hour).
Longer cuts (between 17" and 20") reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs, and at the top of the knees when paddling. These cuts are therefore better suited to regular or even intensive surfing.
Wave resistance 100 range
When surfing, whether it’s due to duck diving or a wipeout, it’s not easy to retrieve and reposition boardshorts that have fallen down while paddling at the same time...
Choosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case.
Go for an elasticated or semi-elasticated waistband with a drawstring that goes all the way round the waist.
The Hendaia Pocket boardshorts feature a fully elasticated waistband with drawcord.
Reduced chafing 100 range
This has got to be the most important criterion when choosing swim shorts.
It’s not uncommon for a swimsuit or boardshorts to rub and irritate the skin.
Our boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to minimise chafing as much as possible during your time in the water.
On the 100 range of our swim shorts, the inner mesh or briefs help to reduce the occurrence of this unpleasant phenomenon.
Freedom of movement 100 range
In surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs are working hard, so boardshorts need to not restrict either bending/stretching or kicking.
A two-way (2 horizontal directions) or four-way (4 horizontal and vertical directions) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement.
A short cut (under 17”) allows enhanced lower body movement and stability.
The 100 range is made from a two-way stretch fabric.
Quick drying
It’s unpleasant to feel the sand and fabric of wet boardshorts sticking to your skin. To avoid this discomfort, opt for swimming shorts made from synthetic fibres. This type of fabric allows water to evacuate quickly, ensuring the swimsuit dries quickly and reducing the risk of irritation. So make sure you choose materials that are comfortable so you can get the most out of your water activities.
