Billabong Combat Bottle Opener Pro Boardshort
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Water, Ready for the Bar
The Billabong Combat Bottle Opener Pro Boardshort is a true session-to-shoreside performer. A built-in bottle opener at the wearer's left cargo pocket means you never have to hunt for one when the surf is done and the cooler is open. From paddle-out to post-session, this boardshort handles both without asking you to change your plans.
Recycler 4-Way Stretch Performance Fabric
The shell is constructed from Billabong's Recycler 4-Way Stretch Performance fabric, a 90% polyester, 10% elastane blend that moves in every direction with your stroke, your pop, and your walk back up the beach. The stretch is built into the weave, not a separate panel, so coverage and range of motion stay consistent across the full outseam.
Micro Repel Coating
A Micro Repel water-repellent coating sits on the outer face of the fabric, shedding water on impact rather than absorbing it. The result is a lighter, faster-drying short that transitions off the beach without the heavy, waterlogged drag. Quick-dry performance is functional here, not marketing language.
Cargo Pocketing and Construction Details
Side cargo pockets with hook-and-loop closures give you secure storage for wax, a key, or anything else you carry to the lineup. The regular-length 20-inch outseam hits at a classic, functional length that works in and out of the water. Machine washable construction keeps care straightforward. Imported.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the built-in bottle opener on the Billabong Combat Pro Boardshort?
- The Combat Pro has a bottle opener integrated directly into the wearer's left cargo pocket. It is part of the pocket hardware, so it's always on you without adding bulk or requiring a separate accessory.
- Are Billabong board shorts with a bottle opener good for surfing?
- Yes. The Combat Pro is built on a performance 4-way stretch fabric shell, so it functions as a full surf boardshort first. The bottle opener is a secondary feature, not a trade-off against water performance.
- What does Micro Repel coating do on the Billabong Combat Boardshort?
- Micro Repel is a water-repellent surface treatment applied to the fabric face. It causes water to bead and run off rather than soak in, keeping the shorts lighter and speeding up dry time after you leave the water.
- How do I care for the Billabong Combat Bottle Opener Pro Boardshort?
- Machine wash is recommended. Rinse with fresh water after surf sessions, especially in salt water, to preserve the Micro Repel coating and fabric integrity over time.
- What is the outseam length on the Combat Pro Boardshort?
- The regular outseam is 20 inches, a classic boardshort length that sits above the knee and works both in the water and off the beach.

- The Billabong Combat Bottle Opener Pro Boardshort is available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida. Use the variant picker to check current availability.
- Is the Billabong Combat Pro Boardshort a recycled fabric product?
