From the Lineup to the Lunch Spot Without Missing a Beat
The Quiksilver Ocean Elastic Short is built for the guy who does not want to choose between function and style. It looks like a classic walkshort, moves like performance surf gear, and dries fast enough to keep your day rolling without a wardrobe change. Whether you paddle out in the morning or spend the afternoon on the coast, these shorts adapt without slowing you down.
Recycled 4-Way Stretch Fabric
The foundation is a recycled poly-elastane blend engineered for mobility in every direction. Four-way stretch means the fabric moves with you through paddling, crouching, or sitting cross-legged at the shoreline. The recycled construction keeps performance high while reducing the environmental footprint of the materials.
DryFlight Water Repellency
Quiksilver's DryFlight hydrophobic coating is applied directly to the fabric, causing water to bead and roll off instead of soaking in. That means the shorts stay lighter, dry faster, and feel less clammy coming out of the water. It is the difference between a quick shake-off and spending the rest of the afternoon in heavy, wet fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Quiksilver Ocean Elastic Shorts good for swimming?
- Yes. The DryFlight hydrophobic coating repels water, and the 4-way stretch fabric is built to move in the water. They are designed as amphibian shorts, meaning they function both in the ocean and out of it.
- What makes elastic waist shorts better for the beach?
- An elasticized drawcord waist removes the need for a belt and adjusts instantly. It stays secure in the water and comfortable on land, which makes it ideal for a day that moves between surfing, walking, and sitting.
- How does DryFlight water repellency work?
- DryFlight is Quiksilver's hydrophobic coating applied to the fabric surface. It causes water to bead up and shed rather than absorb into the material. This keeps the shorts lighter and speeds up dry time after coming out of the water.
- Can the Quiksilver Ocean Elastic Short be worn as a walkshort?
- Yes. The Ocean Elastic Short is styled to look like a classic walkshort with clean lines and a regular fit. The 18-inch outseam keeps the length above the knee. It moves easily from the water to wherever the day takes you.
- Are these shorts made from recycled materials?
- Yes. The fabric is a recycled 4-way stretch poly-elastane blend, with a composition of 92% Recycled Polyester and 8% Elastane.
- What pockets do the Ocean Elastic Shorts have?
- The shorts include side-entry pockets, a back welt pocket with a zip closure for secured items, a back welt pocket with a button closure, and a bungee key loop to keep your keys with you in the water.
