The Crew Favorite Hybrid Short
The Boardwalk Phase 19 Inch Short is Rip Curl's most popular hybrid short, and the concept is straightforward: take proven boardshort construction and marry it to the cleaner silhouette and relaxed comfort of a walkshort. The result is a single pair of shorts that moves between the lineup, the beach, and the street without asking you to change.
At 19 inches of outseam, the fit lands at a versatile length that reads as a walkshort but moves like a boardshort. The standard fit gives you room through the seat and thigh without excess bulk, making it the default choice for all-day wear whether you are paddling out, running an errand, or grabbing lunch after a session.
Construction and Details
Fabric dye gives the Phase 19 a clean, uniform tone with the subtle heathered texture visible in the finished fabric. The waistband closes with tortoise shell buttons that add a refined touch without adding weight. Multiple silicone labels keep branding clean and flat against the fabric rather than stitched-through tags that wear against the skin. The overall build follows Rip Curl's standard of quality construction across their apparel line.
Built for Water and Land
Rip Curl built the Boardwalk line specifically for people who do not want to think about whether their shorts are appropriate for what comes next. The hybrid construction handles water time and dries quickly enough that you are comfortable on land before long. This is the kind of short that lives in a bag or a car and works whenever you pull it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Rip Curl Boardwalk shorts a hybrid short?
- The Boardwalk line is built by combining boardshort construction techniques with the cut and comfort of a walkshort. This gives you the water-ready performance of a boardshort in a style that reads as an everyday walkshort on land.
- What is the outseam length of the Phase 19 Inch Short?
- The outseam measures 19 inches, placing the hem at a versatile mid-thigh length that works equally well in the water and around town.
- How does the Phase 19 fit?
- The Phase 19 is cut in a standard fit with room through the seat and thigh. It is not a slim or a relaxed fit but the balanced middle that works for most body types and all-day wear.
- Can you wear the Rip Curl Boardwalk shorts in the water?
- Yes. The hybrid construction is designed for both water and land use. The shorts are built to handle surf sessions and dry comfortably for street wear afterward.
- Where can I buy the Rip Curl Boardwalk Phase 19 Inch Short?
- The Boardwalk Phase 19 Inch Short is available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida.
- Are these shorts good for everyday wear or just surfing?
- The Boardwalk shorts are specifically designed as all-purpose shorts. The walkshort silhouette and tortoise shell button closure make them appropriate for casual everyday wear, while the boardshort-derived construction handles time in the water.
- What is the difference between boardwalk shorts and regular board shorts?
- Traditional boardshorts are cut specifically for water performance, often with a longer or wider cut and a lace-up or Velcro fly. Boardwalk shorts like the Rip Curl Phase 19 blend that boardshort construction with the cleaner lines, button closure, and structured waistband of a walkshort, so they work on and off the water without looking out of place either way.
