Built for the Water, Ready for the Beach
The Quiksilver Original Straight Premium Boardshort is the everyday surf short for men who want performance fabric with a clean, understated look. A blend of partially recycled polyester and organic cotton stretch delivers 2-way stretch that moves with you in the water and stays comfortable all day on the sand.
The classic 18" outseam hits at the right length for paddling, walking the beach, or heading straight from the lineup to wherever the day takes you. A washed cotton finish gives the fabric a worn-in, relaxed texture that looks better session after session.
Two-Tone Design, Minimalist Style
Quiksilver built the Original Straight Premium around a two-tone silhouette: a solid body with a contrasting waistband that keeps the look sharp without extra detail. The straight leg cut sits clean off the hip and moves freely without binding. A fixed, adjustable waistband with a lace-up fly keeps everything dialed in whether you're paddling or posted up on shore.
A woven Quiksilver logo patch at the hem is the only branding on the short -- no screen prints, no loud graphics. The result is a men's boardshort that works as well at the surf shop as it does in the ocean.
Fabric and Construction
The blend behind the stretch and durability: 73% recycled polyester for light, fast-drying performance, 14% polyester for structure, 7% cotton for the washed texture and comfort, and 6% elastane for 2-way stretch recovery. The recycled polyester component reduces the environmental footprint of the short without sacrificing performance.
The straight leg silhouette means no taper and no cinching at the knee, so paddling and kicking stay unrestricted. The 18" outseam is long enough for coverage and short enough to stay out of the way on the board.

- The waistband is fixed and adjustable with a lace-up fly. It holds its position without a traditional velcro fly, keeping the fit dialed in whether you are surfing or walking the beach.
- What does 'washed cotton look' mean on this boardshort?
