Built for the Water, Worn All Day
The Quiksilver Surfsilk Mix Volley is a surf-ready swim short engineered around performance and comfort. The volley silhouette features a clean elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring, delivering a secure fit whether you are paddling out or walking the beach. No fly, no fuss: just a streamlined cut that moves with you.
Surfsilk 4-Way Stretch Fabric
The defining feature of this volley short is Quiksilver's Surfsilk fabric. The 4-way stretch construction extends in every direction, so the short flexes through your full range of motion in the water and recovers its shape immediately. The blend of 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane keeps the fabric lightweight and quick-drying while reducing reliance on virgin materials.
17-Inch Outseam
The 17-inch outseam hits at a classic board-short length, long enough to cover without restricting movement. This proportion suits both time in the surf and casual wear beyond the beach.
Quiksilver's Surf Heritage
Quiksilver has shaped surf-specific apparel for decades, and the Surfsilk Mix Volley reflects that expertise. The design integrates surf-performance details, including the stretch fabric and clean waistband construction, into a relaxed aesthetic built for the lifestyle around the sport, not just the act of surfing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Quiksilver Surfsilk fabric different from standard boardshort fabric?
- Surfsilk uses a 4-way stretch construction that extends in every direction, allowing full freedom of movement in and out of the water. It is lighter and more flexible than traditional woven boardshort fabric, and recovers its shape quickly after stretching.
- Is the Quiksilver Surfsilk Mix Volley made from recycled materials?
- Yes. The fabric is 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, reducing the use of virgin synthetic materials without sacrificing stretch or performance.
- What is a volley swim short and how does it differ from a boardshort?
- A volley short uses a pull-on elastic waistband instead of the traditional velcro and lace closure on a boardshort. The result is a cleaner, lighter silhouette that is easy to get on and off. Both are built for water use, but the volley design is particularly popular for swimming and surf fitness because of the unrestricted waistband.
- How should I care for these swim shorts?
- Rinse in cold fresh water after each use to remove salt, chlorine, or sand. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang to dry. Avoid high heat drying, which can degrade the elastane fibers over time.
- Are Quiksilver Surfsilk shorts good for both surfing and casual beach wear?
- Yes. The 4-way stretch and 17-inch outseam make them functional in the water, while the clean volley silhouette works equally well for time on the beach or around the pool.
- Where can I buy the Quiksilver Surfsilk Mix Volley?
- The Quiksilver Surfsilk Mix Volley is available at Island Water Sports, both in store and online. Island Water Sports is South Florida's dedicated surf and water sports retailer.
