SurfSilk Fabric: Built for the Water, Gentle on Skin
The Quiksilver Surfsilk Street Trunk 18 is engineered around Quiksilver's remade SurfSilk fabric, a performance textile designed to deliver the durability of a technical boardshort with the next-to-skin softness of silk. The outer face is tough enough to handle the reef, the deck of a board, and the roughest beach days, while the inner surface stays ultra-smooth and gentle against bare skin during hours in and out of the water.
The fabric is constructed from 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, giving it the stretch needed to move with your body through paddling, popping up, and every cutback in between. The recycled yarn content means performance without unnecessary resource waste.
Construction and Features
At 18 inches outseam, the Street Trunk 18 sits at a short-length boardshort cut that works from the lineup to the street without looking like you dragged yourself away from the break. The straight leg fit keeps it clean and wearable all day.
Closure is handled by a performance fly combined with a drawcord waist on a fixed waistband, giving you a secure, adjustable fit that stays put when you're paddling hard. The back pocket features a hook-and-loop tape flap closure to keep your key or card in place, and an interior key bungee cord pocket adds a secondary secure carry option. Quiksilver's iconic mountain and wave logo badge appears at the hem.
From the Lineup to the Street
The name says it: these are boardshorts that cross over. The SurfSilk construction dries fast enough to wear off the beach without the bulk or stiffness of a traditional boardshort. They're the kind of short you throw on in the morning and are still wearing when you grab dinner near the water. Island Water Sports carries the full Quiksilver range in store and online.
