Billabong Good Times Layback Boardshort
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Good Times In and Out of the Water
The Billabong Good Times Layback Boardshort is designed for surfers and beach-goers who want performance fabric and all-day comfort without sacrificing style. The modern Layback fit sits easy on the waist and moves naturally whether you are paddling out or posted up on the sand.
Recycler 4-Way Stretch Fabric
Billabong's Recycler 4-way stretch fabric is the foundation of this boardshort. It is made from recycled PET plastic bottles, giving you the same high-performance stretch and durability you expect from a premium boardshort while diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans. The blend of 72% Recycled Polyester, 20% Cotton, and 8% Elastane produces a fabric that is soft against the skin, moves in every direction, and holds its shape session after session.
Micro Repel Water Repellent Technology
A Micro Repel waterproof coating treats the fabric so water beads off the surface rather than soaking in. The result is a lighter feel when you come out of the water and faster drying on the beach, which matters when you are going straight from a surf to lunch without wanting to sit in a soaked short the whole time.
Layback Fit and Construction Details
Billabong's Layback cut is a modern, slightly relaxed silhouette that works equally well for surfing and casual wear. The elastic lasso waist eliminates the need to fumble with a tie in the lineup and provides a secure, adjustable fit throughout the day. The 16-inch outseam keeps the leg opening above the knee for unrestricted movement in the water.
- Elastic lasso waist for a secure, comfortable fit
- 16-inch outseam, short length

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Billabong Good Times Layback Boardshort different from a standard boardshort?
- The Good Times Layback uses Billabong's Recycler 4-way stretch fabric, which is made from recycled PET plastic bottles, combined with a Micro Repel waterproof coating for quick drying and a lightweight feel. The Layback fit is a modern, slightly relaxed cut with an elastic lasso waist rather than a traditional tie, making it comfortable for both surfing and casual beach use.
- Are Billabong layback boardshorts good for surfing?
- Yes. The 4-way stretch construction allows full range of motion for paddling, popping up, and riding. The 16-inch outseam keeps the leg opening above the knee so the short does not restrict leg movement in the water. The Micro Repel coating reduces water absorption so the short stays lightweight when you are in and out of the surf.
- How does the elastic lasso waist work?
- The elastic lasso waist is a Billabong waist system that combines an elastic band with a lasso-style adjuster. It provides a snug, secure fit without requiring you to tie a knot, and it adjusts easily for a personalized fit around the waist.
- Is this boardshort made from sustainable materials?
- Yes. The Recycler 4-way stretch fabric is made from recycled PET plastic bottles. This reduces reliance on virgin polyester while delivering the same performance stretch and durability. The material is 72% Recycled Polyester, 20% Cotton, and 8% Elastane.
- How do I care for the Billabong Good Times Layback Boardshort?
- Rinse the short with fresh water after each surf session to remove salt and sand. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can degrade the stretch fabric and water-repellent coating over time.
- Can I wear Billabong boardshorts as swim shorts?
- Yes. The Good Times Layback is a hybrid boardshort that works as swim shorts for the pool, lake, or ocean. The Micro Repel coating and quick-dry fabric make it equally suited to water activities and casual beach or streetwear.
