RIP CURL CALA VADELLA CROCHET SHORT
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Crochet Knit Built for Summer
The Rip Curl Cala Vadella Crochet Short brings genuine surf-brand craft to warm-weather dressing. The body is constructed in a crochet knit from 100% cotton, then put through a garment wash that breaks in the fabric before it ever reaches you. The result is a lightweight, breathable short that feels worn-in from the first wear.
Construction and Details
The crochet knit structure gives the fabric an open, textural hand that sets it apart from standard woven or jersey shorts. A yarn-dyed stripe works contrast into the knit itself rather than printing it on top, so the pattern is as durable as the fabric. Rib knit panels at key points add structure without stiffness. The waistband runs an adjustable drawcord so fit stays dialed regardless of activity. A metal Rip Curl logo trim finishes the piece with a detail that holds up to sun and salt air.
Fit and Wear
Cut to a standard fit at a short length, the Cala Vadella Crochet Short sits comfortably without excess fabric. The cotton construction breathes well in warm, humid conditions, making it a natural choice for beach days, surf sessions on land, or any South Florida summer situation. The garment wash softness means no stiff break-in period.
