A Quiksilver Original, Built Better
The Quiksilver Original Scallop Volley is one of Quiksilver's founding short silhouettes, and this generation earns that name with meaningful upgrades. The 17-inch outseam keeps the fit true to the classic volley proportions, while a redesigned fabric blend and plant-based finish make it a short worth keeping in rotation for seasons.
Eco-Conscious 4-Way Stretch Fabric
The shell is woven from a traceable recycled polyester and organic cotton spandex blend that moves in every direction without restriction. The composition is 46% recycled polyester, 40% polyester, 8% elastane, and 6% organic cotton, a formula that delivers stretch and recovery while reducing the reliance on virgin materials. Recycled yarn is used throughout, and the fabric carries a traceable supply chain designation so you know where the material came from.
Plant-Based Hydrophobic Treatment
A plant-based hydrophobic coating replaces conventional DWR chemistry on the shell. Water beads and sheds quickly off the surface, which means the short dries fast whether you are coming out of the water or getting caught in a summer storm. The treatment is integrated into the fabric finish, not applied as a heavy laminate, so the stretch and hand feel are unaffected.
Construction and Fit Details
The waistband is a classic elastic construction with a fixed drawcord closure at the front. No flyaway panels, no velcro, just a clean, secure fit that adjusts easily and stays put in the water. The scallop hem at the leg opening is the signature detail of this silhouette, giving it the distinctive curved cut that sets a volley apart from a standard boardshort.
Side-entry pockets sit flush on both sides for clean lines when worn. A back pocket adds utility without bulk. A signature key-loop is built into the waistband so you can secure a key without carrying a bag.
Quiksilver Heritage
Quiksilver built its reputation in surf and has carried that competitive, water-first DNA into every product line for decades. The Original Scallop Volley is a direct line back to that heritage, updated with modern materials and responsible sourcing. It works as well poolside and on the sand as it does in the lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Quiksilver Original Scallop Volley different from a standard boardshort?
- The Scallop Volley uses an elastic waistband with a fixed drawcord instead of a velcro or lace-up fly closure. The scallop cut at the leg hem is the silhouette's defining feature. Volley shorts are typically shorter and more fitted than traditional boardshorts, making them a clean choice both in and out of the water.
- What is a scallop hem on boardshorts?
- A scallop hem refers to the curved, arched cut at the bottom of each leg opening. This design reduces fabric bulk at the thigh, improves range of motion in the water, and gives the short its distinctive look. The Original Scallop Volley is Quiksilver's heritage silhouette built around this cut.
- Is the Quiksilver Original Scallop Volley good for surfing?
- Yes. The 4-way stretch fabric moves with you during paddling and pop-ups, the elastic waist stays secure in the water, and the plant-based hydrophobic treatment sheds water quickly. The 17-inch outseam keeps the short out of the way during movement. It is designed as a surf short first.
- What does the plant-based hydrophobic treatment do?
- The plant-based coating causes water to bead and run off the surface of the fabric rather than soaking in. This helps the short dry faster after water exposure. It replaces conventional fluorocarbon-based DWR treatments with a more environmentally conscious alternative.
- What is traceable recycled polyester?
- Traceable recycled polyester is made from post-consumer materials such as plastic bottles, and the supply chain is verified so the origin of the material can be confirmed. Quiksilver uses this fabric in the Original Scallop Volley as part of its commitment to more responsible sourcing.
- Can I wear the Quiksilver Original Scallop Volley as everyday shorts?
- Yes. The elastic waist, clean side pockets, and streamlined cut make the Original Scallop Volley easy to wear beyond the beach. The stretch fabric and quick-dry finish are practical for an active day whether or not you are near the water.
