Kids boardshorts built for South Florida water rats, from toddler 2T sizes up through 7X for older boys. These quick-dry surf and swim shorts hold up to daily beach play in warm Atlantic water, with easygoing fits and bold prints kids actually want to wear. We stock Vissla (including the recycled-fabric Ecology Center series), Rylee + Cru, Feather 4 Arrow, and Quiksilver.

You will find classic 13-inch lengths for the little ones and longer 17-inch boys cuts, swim-trunk styles with mesh liners, and amphibian shorts that work in and out of the water. Most use stretch, fast-drying fabric so the morning surf lesson dries before the car ride home.

What size boardshort should I get for my child?

Go by waist size and the brand's size chart rather than age alone, since fits vary. For growing kids who live in the water all summer, a slightly relaxed waist with a drawcord gives the most seasons of wear. Toddler styles (2T to 4T) run with elastic waists for easy changes.

Are these boardshorts okay for both surfing and the pool?

Yes. These are true quick-dry boardshorts, not cotton shorts, so they handle saltwater surf sessions, pool days, and splash pads equally well. Rinse with fresh water after the ocean to keep colors and fabric lasting longer.

Do you carry eco-friendly options?

We do. The Vissla Ecology Center boardshorts are made with recycled materials, a nice pick for families who want their beach gear to tread a little lighter.
