Billabong Crossfire 17" Walkshorts

Built for the Beach, Ready for the Street
The Billabong Crossfire 17" Walkshorts carry five decades of surf culture in their construction. Billabong launched in 1973 with a single-minded focus on performance beach apparel, and the Crossfire is the distilled result of that experience. The 17-inch outseam sits between a true boardshort and a classic chino, giving you the versatility to go from the sand to wherever the day takes you without changing.
The clean flat-front silhouette and subtle woven texture keep the look sharp enough for casual wear while the surf-informed cut gives you full range of motion in the water. A woven Billabong brand tab at the hem is the only branding on the leg, letting the construction speak for itself.
Crossfire Construction
Billabong designed the Crossfire line around the walkshort concept: a short that performs in salt water but carries itself like a proper pair of shorts on dry land. The 17-inch outseam length hits above the knee for a modern, tailored proportion that has moved well beyond the oversized boardshort era. The flat front and clean hem finish give the Crossfire its versatile, surf-meets-street identity.
Billabong Surf Heritage
Billabong has built its reputation as one of the leading surf brands in the world by staying close to beach culture since 1973. Every Crossfire walkshort reflects that lineage: functional enough for the water, refined enough for everything after. Island Water Sports carries the full Billabong lineup in store and online in South Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a walkshort and how does it differ from a boardshort?
- A walkshort sits between a traditional boardshort and a chino in cut and length. The Crossfire's 17-inch outseam gives it a tailored proportion that works in the water and on dry land, whereas a classic boardshort is typically cut longer and with a looser fit optimized purely for surfing.
- Are Billabong Crossfire walkshorts good for surfing?
- Yes. Billabong designed the Crossfire line for active beach use. The surf-informed cut allows full range of motion in the water, and the construction handles salt water. The flat-front styling means they also wear well out of the water, making them a true dual-purpose walkshort.
- Can I wear Billabong Crossfire shorts as casual everyday shorts?
- Absolutely. The flat-front silhouette and clean hem finish give the Crossfire a refined look that works for casual outings, travel, and everyday warm-weather wear, not just beach days.
- Where can I buy Billabong Crossfire Walkshorts near me?

- How should I care for Billabong Crossfire Walkshorts?
- Rinse in fresh water after salt water exposure and follow the care label instructions on the garment for washing and drying. Avoiding high heat in the dryer will extend the life of the fabric and fit.
- What is Billabong's background as a surf brand?
- Billabong was founded in 1973 and has grown into one of the leading surf brands in the world. The brand is rooted in beach culture and designs apparel that reflects that heritage across boardshorts, walkshorts, and broader surf lifestyle clothing.
