Men's boardshorts from the brands that actually surf: Billabong, Quiksilver, Rip Curl, O'Neill, Vissla, RVCA, Volcom, and Florence Marine X. Whether you want a performance pair for real surf sessions or a lo-tide everyday short for the beach bar, we stock the full range, dialed in for year-round South Florida water. Family-run since 1978, with stores in Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Delray Beach, and Boca Raton.
Lengths run from short 16.5-inch cuts up to 21-inch outseams, in fixed-waist pro fits and comfortable elastic lo-tide waists. Look for four-way stretch, welded and laser-cut seams, and quick-dry recycled fabrics across pro models like the Rip Curl Mirage MF Ultimate, Billabong A.I. Pro, and O'Neill Hyperfreak.
What length boardshort should I buy?
It comes down to preference and use. Surfers often choose 18 to 19 inches for coverage without drag, while shorter 16 to 17-inch lengths are popular for swimming and a more retro look. Taller riders tend to size up to 20 or 21 inches so the short sits at the knee.
What is the difference between pro and lo-tide boardshorts?
Pro or performance shorts (like the Mirage MF or A.I. Pro) use a fixed, stretchy waistband and the lightest welded seams for surfing hard with zero rash. Lo-tide and all-day styles add an elastic waist and softer fabric for comfort, making them better for hanging out than charging.
Are stretch boardshorts worth it?
For surfing, yes. Four-way stretch fabric moves with your paddling and pop-up instead of fighting it, and it dries fast in warm Florida air. Most modern boardshorts we carry use some stretch, with the pro models offering the most flex.
