A Legacy in Every Stitch
Andy Irons redefined what it meant to surf at the highest level. The Billabong A.I. Diamonds Pro boardshort is part of the official Billabong x Andy Irons Signature Collection, built to carry that legacy forward with performance construction and a bold graphic identity. A portion of every sale benefits the Andy Irons Foundation.
Engineered Sublimation Print
The bold diamond pattern covering this boardshort is produced through engineered sublimation, a process that bonds color directly into the fabric rather than layering it on top. The result is a print that stays vivid through repeated surf sessions, saltwater, and sun without cracking or fading. The graphic is intentionally placed so the pattern aligns precisely across seams, a detail that separates a premium signature short from a standard print.
Performance Construction
The fabric is a 90% recycled polyester and 10% spandex blend. The recycled polyester keeps weight down and dries quickly, while the spandex content delivers the stretch needed for paddling, popping up, and driving through turns without restriction. The fixed waist with a 22-inch outseam positions the hem at the knee for a surf-specific silhouette that stays put in the water without the bulk of a longer leisure short.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Billabong A.I. Diamonds Pro?
- The A.I. Diamonds Pro is a men's performance boardshort from the official Billabong x Andy Irons Signature Collection. It features an engineered sublimation diamond print, a recycled polyester and spandex blend, and a fixed-waist 22-inch outseam designed for surfing.
- Who is the Andy Irons Foundation and does my purchase support it?
- The Andy Irons Foundation supports mental health awareness and ocean access programs in honor of professional surfing champion Andy Irons. A portion of every A.I. Diamonds Pro sale goes directly to the Foundation.
- What does engineered sublimation mean on boardshorts?
- Engineered sublimation means the print is precisely mapped to the boardshort panels so the pattern aligns at every seam. The dye bonds into the fabric fibers rather than sitting on the surface, so the graphic stays sharp and does not crack, peel, or fade with regular water and UV exposure.
- Are the Billabong A.I. Diamonds Pro boardshorts good for surfing?
- Yes. The 10% spandex content provides the stretch needed for paddling and popping up, while the recycled polyester fabric dries quickly. The fixed waist and 22-inch outseam keep the short in place during wipeouts and aggressive surfing without restricting movement.
- Is the fabric on the A.I. Diamonds Pro sustainable?
- The shell fabric is made from 90% recycled polyester, diverting plastic from landfill and reducing the energy needed to produce raw fiber compared to virgin polyester.
- Where can I buy the Billabong A.I. Diamonds Pro boardshorts?
- The Billabong A.I. Diamonds Pro is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, South Florida's destination for surf and boardsport gear.
- How do the A.I. Diamonds Pro boardshorts fit?
- The boardshort uses a fixed waist with a 22-inch outseam, placing the hem at the knee for a classic surf silhouette. The spandex content gives the fabric stretch so the fit moves with you rather than restricting your range of motion. Check the variant picker for your waist size.
