KATIN BOYS CARVER VOLLEY
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
California Surf Heritage, Built for Boys
Katin has been shaping surf culture since 1954, when the brand earned its place as one of California's first to stitch a proper pair of surf trunks. The Boys Carver Volley carries that lineage forward: a volley-cut board short designed to move with an active kid, from the lineup to the shore break to an afternoon off the water.
The Carver Volley features a fully elasticated waistband with a braided drawstring for a secure, adjustable fit that stays put through wipeouts and beach runs alike. The all-over tropical print is rendered tone-on-tone for a low-key, wearable look that pairs as naturally with a rashguard in the water as with a tee on land. A small woven Katin label at the hem marks the piece's California roots without adding bulk.
Carver Volley Construction
Volley shorts are cut shorter and lighter than traditional boardshorts, prioritizing freedom of movement and fast dry time. Side pockets keep small essentials secure, and the clean hem finish holds up through repeated surf sessions and machine washes. Katin's reputation for durable goods, built on decades of quality workmanship, carries through to every detail of the Carver Volley.
About Katin
In 1954, Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business called Kanvas by Katin on the California coast. The surf community quickly took notice of their craftsmanship, and Katin became one of California's first brands to produce dedicated surf trunks. Today, Katin remains a staple of Southern California surf culture, committed to high-quality, durable goods that respect the heritage of the craft.
