Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Boys' amphibian shorts built for the beach, the pool, and everything after
Parents searching for board shorts for boys that hold up in and out of the water land here for a reason. The Quiksilver Boys Taxer Amphibian Short is made to be worn in the water and right out of it, moving from the sand to the boardwalk without a change of clothes needed.
What it is made of
- 4-way stretch recycled polyester blend fabric
- PFC free hydrophobic coating that makes the fabric water repellent
- 92% recycled polyester, 8% elastane, with recycled yarn used in construction
The combination of stretch fabric and a hydrophobic treatment is what lets this short dry fast after a swim, so a boy is not sitting around in a wet waistband for the rest of the day.
Fit and features
It is cut in a straight leg fit with a classic comfort waistband and a fixed drawcord closure, so it stays put through paddling, running the beach, or climbing on and off a boat. The 17 inch outseam keeps it at a short length suited to active kids rather than a longer boardshort cut.
Storage while you play
Side-entry pockets and a back pocket with a water resistant auto lock zipper give a kid somewhere to stash a room key or a few dollars for the snack bar without it falling out in the surf. A key bungee cord side pocket is built in specifically for securing a house or locker key on a beach day.
Who wears it and where
This is a Boys 8 to 16 short, designed for South Florida days that move between the water, the boat, and the backyard grill without a wardrobe change. Because the fabric is quick-drying and water repellent, it works equally well as swimwear at the pool or as a regular short for a hot day on land.
Why get it from Island Water Sports
Island Water Sports has outfitted South Florida beach and boat families since 1978, and we stock Quiksilver kids' bottoms alongside the rest of the boys' shop so you can size a boardshort in person, feel the stretch fabric, and check the fit before it ever gets wet.
