Billabong Fifty50 Airlite Boardshort, Built for Performance Surfing
The Billabong Fifty50 Airlite Boardshort is a performance boardshort made to move with you down the line and off the top. It uses Airlite Recycler Stretch, an omni-directional engineered stretch jacquard weave fabric technology, and is constructed from recycled PET plastic bottles, giving it a lightweight feel with real stretch built into the weave.
Fabric and Construction
The material blend is 71% recycled polyester, 19% polyester, and 10% elastane, finished with a DWR, or durable water repellent, coating that helps the fabric dry quickly and shed water. The outseam runs 19 inches for a mid length cut, and the performance fit is engineered with paneling designed to reduce seams and enhance stretch and range of motion. A fixed waist with an adjustable drawcord keeps the fit secure, and a side patch pocket with a zipper adds secure storage. An engineered print design and a woven label at the left leg hem round out the details.
Who This Boardshort Is Built For
This is a performance-oriented boardshort meant for surfers who need real freedom of movement in the water, but the quick-drying DWR finish and stretch fabric also make it a solid option for boating, paddleboarding, or any day spent moving between the water and the boat in South Florida heat.
Fit, Wear, and Care
The engineered fit and paneling are designed to reduce bunching and seams during paddling and turns, while the fixed waist with adjustable drawcord lets you dial in a secure fit before paddling out. Because the fabric has a DWR coating for quick drying, rinsing with fresh water after a saltwater session and air drying will help maintain that water repellent finish over time.
Billabong's Surf Heritage
Billabong came onto the surf scene in 1973 and has grown into one of the leading surf brands in the world, and the Fifty50 Airlite line reflects that performance-driven surf pedigree combined with a recycled material approach.
