Quiksilver Surfsilk Arch 19 Boardshort
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
SurfSilk Fabric Built for the Water
The Quiksilver Surfsilk Arch 19 Boardshort is part of the Everyday Collection and is built around Quiksilver's remade SurfSilk fabric. The construction is engineered to be tough and durable on the outside while remaining ultra-soft against the skin on the inside. The result is a boardshort that handles the abuse of repeated water entries and sand contact without sacrificing comfort during long sessions or all-day beach wear.
The fabric is made from recycled yarn, giving the short a lower environmental footprint without compromising on performance. The 88% Recycled Polyester / 12% Elastane blend provides the stretch needed for paddle-outs and duck dives while snapping back to shape between sets.
Arch Fit and 19-Inch Outseam
The arch fit is a mid-relaxed silhouette that sits between a boardshort cut and a casual short. It moves with the body without bunching, and the 19-inch outseam length keeps coverage at mid-thigh, a practical length that works from the water to the parking lot. Printed side panels add a graphic element to an otherwise clean main body, visible in the product imagery as a vivid gradient artwork on each leg.
Closure and Pocket System
A performance fly and drawcord closure keep the waist secure through wipeouts and pop-ups. The fixed waist construction means no adjustable hardware to snag a leash or wetsuit. The back pocket features a hook-and-loop tape flap closure, and an interior key bungee cord keeps a car key or locker key tethered inside without adding bulk. Quiksilver's iconic mountain and wave logo is stitched at the hip.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is SurfSilk fabric?
- SurfSilk is Quiksilver's remade performance fabric engineered with a durable, tough outer face and an ultra-soft inner face that sits gently against the skin. It uses recycled yarn and is designed to hold up to repeated surf use while remaining comfortable for all-day wear.
- What is the arch fit in Quiksilver boardshorts?
- Arch fit is Quiksilver's mid-relaxed cut. It is roomier through the seat and thigh than a slim performance short but more tailored than a classic boardshort, giving freedom of movement in the water without excess material that can bunch during paddling.
- How do I care for Quiksilver SurfSilk boardshorts?
- Rinse with fresh water after every surf or swim to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry low or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which can break down the stretch fibers over time.
- Are Quiksilver Surfsilk boardshorts good for everyday beach wear?
- Yes. The Everyday Collection label reflects that intent. The SurfSilk fabric dries quickly, the arch fit is comfortable off the board, and the 19-inch outseam works in and out of the water. They are designed to go from a surf session to the beach without needing a change.
- What does the 19-inch outseam mean on boardshorts?
- The outseam is the length of the short measured along the outer leg seam from the waistband to the hem. A 19-inch outseam places the hem at approximately mid-thigh for most adult men, which Quiksilver classifies as mid length.
- Where can I buy the Quiksilver Surfsilk Arch 19 Boardshort?
- The Quiksilver Surfsilk Arch 19 Boardshort is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida and online at Island Water Sports.
- Are Quiksilver Surfsilk boardshorts made with recycled materials?
- Yes. The Surfsilk Arch 19 is made from recycled yarn. The 88% Recycled Polyester content is derived from post-consumer material, making it part of Quiksilver's effort to reduce virgin plastic use in their boardshort line.
