KATIN BOYS ISAIAH LOCAL SHORT
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
A California surf-shop staple, sized for kids
The Isaiah Local Short is Katin's boys short built from a breathable cotton linen chambray, the kind of easy, all-day fabric that made Katin a name on the California coast. Island Water Sports carries it for young riders who need a short that keeps up with a full day outside, from the dock to the driveway.
What it is made of
- 75% cotton, 25% linen chambray fabric
- Front welt side-seam pockets
- Back welt pockets
- Faux fly
- Clean-finished interior binding
- 16 inch outseam
Who it is built for
This is a boys short meant for daily wear, not a technical board short. The welt pockets on the front and back give a kid somewhere to stash a shell, a few dollars, or a pocketknife, while the clean-finished interior binding means the inside seams stay comfortable through a full day of running around a boat launch or a backyard.
How to wear and care for it
Because the fabric is a cotton linen blend rather than a quick-dry synthetic, treat this as a lounge and everyday short rather than a swim short. Machine wash it with like colors and let the linen content do what linen does, it softens and relaxes with wear, so the short will only get more comfortable the more it is worn. Air drying helps the chambray hold its shape longer than a hot dryer cycle.
The Katin story
Katin traces back to 1954, when Nancy and Walter Katin opened a small boat cover business in Surfside, California, just north of Huntington Beach. The brand grew into one of California's first makers of surf trunks and has kept that reputation for durable, well-made goods ever since, a history that still shows up in details like the welt pockets and finished binding on this short.
