Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
An everyday boardshort in Quiksilver's SurfSilk fabric
The Quiksilver Surfsilk Kaimana 20 inch Boardshort comes from Quiksilver's Everyday Collection, built in the brand's SurfSilk fabric designed to feel strong on the outside yet soft on the inside against the skin, like silk for surfing.
Fabric and construction
This boardshort is made from remade SurfSilk fabric, described as tough on the outside and durable on the inside, in a composition of 88 percent recycled polyester and 12 percent elastane. It carries a PFC free hydrophobic treatment and water resistant technology, a straight leg fit, a performance fly, a fixed waist, and a 20 inch outseam, a mid length cut. It closes with a drawcord, and the back pocket uses a hook and loop tape closure with a flap, along with Quiksilver's iconic mountain and wave logo branding and a key bungee cord inside the pocket.
Who this boardshort is for
- Surfers who want a mid length 20 inch outseam rather than a shorter volley cut
- Anyone who wants a boardshort built from recycled yarn without giving up performance details like a fly and secure back pocket
- South Florida beach and boat days where a fast-moving, water resistant fabric matters
The key bungee cord inside the pocket and the hook and loop back pocket closure are both details built to keep small essentials secure through a session, not just for looks.
Fit, wear and care
The fixed waist and drawcord closure let you dial in a secure fit rather than relying on stretch alone, while the straight leg fit and performance fly are built for movement in and out of the water. Because the fabric carries a PFC free hydrophobic treatment, it is designed to resist water absorption and dry faster than an untreated fabric. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and hang dry rather than using high heat to protect the hydrophobic finish and the recycled polyester elastane blend.
About Quiksilver
Quiksilver's clothing lines reflect sun-drenched summer days on the beach watching the surf come in with friends. While the brand's shirts, boardshorts and sandals have a laid-back, comfortable design, Quiksilver also builds clothing for the competitive side of the surf lifestyle, and the SurfSilk Kaimana's recycled yarn construction shows that same performance focus applied to a more sustainable fabric.
