O'Neill Cruzer Stripe Scallop 16in Boardshort
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Water, Ready for the Sand
The O'Neill Cruzer Stripe Scallop boardshort is designed for boys who spend their days between the surf and the shore. With a 16-inch outseam, it hits at a mid-thigh length that works in the water and out of it, giving young riders the coverage and freedom to move without restriction.
Hyperfreak Stretch with Repreve
The fabric core of the Cruzer Stripe Scallop is Hyperfreak stretch, engineered for maximum range of motion whether paddling out or running up the beach. It is built with Repreve, O'Neill's recycled polyester fiber, so performance and sustainability are woven together from the start. The blend of recycled polyester, polyester, and elastane delivers a four-way stretch that holds its shape session after session.
O'Neill Hyperdry Technology
O'Neill's Hyperdry finish accelerates moisture wicking and fast drying so the short does not weigh the wearer down after coming out of the water. The technology pulls moisture away from the skin and moves it to the fabric's surface where it evaporates quickly, keeping boys comfortable from the first wave through the last.
Construction Details
The waistband uses a tunnel drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit that stays put during active sessions. Hand pockets and a back pocket provide practical storage for wax, a wristband, or whatever the day demands. The scallop hemline at the leg opening reduces drag in the water and eliminates the stiff, bunching edge found on straight-hem boardshorts. Anti-rash hyperthread stitching along the inseam protects against abrasion and chafing during extended sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Hyperfreak stretch different from regular boardshort fabric?
- Hyperfreak is O'Neill's high-performance stretch fabric that combines recycled polyester (Repreve), standard polyester, and elastane for four-way stretch. It moves with the body during surfing and other water activities rather than restricting motion the way rigid woven fabrics do.
- What is Repreve fabric?
- Repreve is a performance fiber made from recycled plastic bottles. O'Neill uses it in the Hyperfreak fabric blend so the boardshort delivers stretch and durability while diverting plastic waste from landfills and oceans.
- How does O'Neill Hyperdry work?
- Hyperdry is O'Neill's moisture-wicking and fast-drying finish applied to the fabric. It pulls water away from the skin and speeds evaporation so the boardshort dries faster after leaving the water, reducing that heavy, wet feeling.
- What is the scallop hemline on a boardshort?
- A scallop hemline curves upward at the outer edge of each leg opening. This reduces fabric bunching and water drag, gives cleaner range of motion while surfing or swimming, and distinguishes performance boardshorts from standard swim trunks.
- What does anti-rash hyperthread mean?
- Anti-rash hyperthread is a flat, smooth stitching technique used on the inseam and leg seams to minimize skin abrasion during repetitive movements in the water. It is especially important for young surfers who spend extended sessions paddling and popping up on a board.
- How should I care for O'Neill boardshorts?
- Rinse the boardshort in fresh water after each ocean or pool session to remove salt, chlorine, and sunscreen residue. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the Hyperdry moisture-wicking finish over time.
- Can I buy O'Neill boys boardshorts at Island Water Sports?
- Yes. Island Water Sports carries O'Neill boardshorts for boys both in store and online. You can also call 954-427-4929 with any questions about fit or product details.
