Quiksilver Original Straight Leg Surf Trunks
Since the first pair, Quiksilver has built its boardshorts specifically for surfers, and the Original Straight Leg 18 inch style carries that idea forward as part of the brand's Originals Collection, iconic in Quiksilver's own words for a reason.
Fabric and Build
- 4-way stretch organic cotton and recycled polyester stretch blend fabric
- PFC free hydrophobic coating that is water repellent
- Straight leg fit with an 18 inch outseam, short length
- Performance fly and a fixed waist
- Drawcord closure at the waist
- Back pocket with hook and loop tape closure and flap
- Key bungee cord inside pocket to secure your keys
- Iconic Original bubble logo branding, made with recycled yarn
- Materials: 46% recycled polyester, 40% polyester, 8% elastane, 6% organic cotton
Who This Boardshort Is For
The 4-way stretch and performance fly make this a boardshort built for guys who actually surf, not just wear the look, since 4-way stretch flexes through the hips and legs during paddling, pop ups, and duck dives more than a basic 2-way fabric. The straight leg, 18 inch outseam length also carries it comfortably into boat days and everyday beach wear once you are out of the water.
Fit, Wear, and Care
Use the size chart in the variant picker on this page to dial in your fit, since the fixed waist and performance fly sit differently than an elastic-waist volley short. Rinse in fresh water after every ocean or pool session to protect the hydrophobic coating and the recycled polyester and elastane blend, then wash cold and hang dry so the 4-way stretch and hook and loop back pocket closure hold up over time.
Quiksilver's Originals Collection
Quiksilver's clothing lines grew out of sun-drenched days on the beach and in the water, and the brand backs that laid back look with construction meant to handle a hardcore surfer's actual pursuits, which shows up here in the recycled yarn build and the water repellent coating.
