Quiksilver Original Arch Volley Surf Trunks
Shoppers hunting for Quiksilver original arch volley 17 inch shorts will find this the real thing, a scallop fit volley trunk from Quiksilver's Originals Collection, the line the brand describes as iconic for a reason. It is built with the same idea Quiksilver has carried since its first pair of boardshorts, a functional short made specifically for surfers.
Fabric and Build
- 2-way stretch fabric blending recycled polyester and organic cotton
- Made from a blend of organic cotton and recycled plastic bottles
- PFC free hydrophobic coating that is water repellent

- Classic comfort elastic waistband with a fixed drawcord closure
- Side entry pockets plus a back pocket with hook and loop tape closure
- Key bungee cord inside the pocket to secure your keys
- Iconic original bubble logo branding
- Materials: 45% recycled polyester, 43% polyester, 8% organic cotton, 4% elastane
Who This Volley Short Is For
The 17 inch outseam and elastic waistband make this a volley style short, meaning it is cut for surfers and watermen who want stretch and comfort during paddling and pop ups rather than a fixed-waist fit. It works equally well for a South Florida surf session, a day on the boat, or beach volleyball, since the water repellent coating helps it shed water and dry faster between activities.
Fit, Wear, and Care
Because these run in a scallop fit with an elastic comfort waistband, check the size chart in the variant picker on this page rather than sizing off a fixed-waist boardshort. After ocean or pool use, rinse the shorts in fresh water to protect the hydrophobic coating and the recycled polyester fabric, then wash cold and hang dry to keep the elastane's stretch intact and the hook and loop closures working properly.
Quiksilver's Originals Collection
Quiksilver built its clothing lines around long days on the beach watching the surf come in, and the Originals Collection is where that heritage meets a genuine surfer's cut, still made from recycled materials without giving up the stretch and water repellency a real session demands.
