Built for the Water, Designed for the Shore
The Quiksilver Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 boardshorts deliver serious surf performance wrapped in a vivid all-over scenic tropical print. The contrast waistband frames the graphic cleanly, giving these shorts a polished look from the lineup to the sand without sacrificing a single moment of performance.
Surfsilk 4-Way Stretch Fabric
Quiksilver's Surfsilk fabric construction is engineered for motion. The 4-way stretch allows full range of movement through pop-ups, paddle strokes, and turns, while the partially recycled composition keeps this short grounded in responsible materials. At 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, the blend is lightweight, fast-drying, and resilient against repeated sessions in salt water.
Scallop Silhouette and 19-Inch Outseam
The scallop cut at the hem reduces thigh restriction during performance surfing, letting you move freely without the fabric binding or bunching. The 19-inch outseam hits at a mid-thigh length that works in the water and transitions naturally to casual wear after your session. This is the boardshort length built for real surfing, not just the aesthetic.
Details That Matter
- All-over scenic tropical print with contrast waistband for a clean, structured look
- Woven Quiksilver label at front
- Rear patch pocket for essentials

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Quiksilver Surfsilk fabric?
- Surfsilk is Quiksilver's performance boardshort fabric built with 4-way stretch for full range of motion in and out of the water. The Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 uses a blend of 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, making it lightweight, fast-drying, and partially recycled.
- Are these boardshorts good for actual surfing?
- Yes. The Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 is purpose-built for surfing. The scallop silhouette reduces thigh restriction during pop-ups and turns, the 4-way stretch Surfsilk fabric moves with you through every maneuver, and the 19-inch outseam sits at a performance-tested length used by competitive and recreational surfers alike.
- How does the scallop cut fit compared to standard boardshorts?
- The scallop hem is cut higher at the outer thigh than a straight-hem boardshort. This removes fabric that would otherwise restrict leg movement during surfing. The 19-inch outseam keeps the shorts at a mid-thigh length, which is common in surf-performance cuts.
- Are these boardshorts made from recycled materials?
- Partially, yes. The Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 uses 88% recycled polyester alongside 12% elastane for stretch. Quiksilver incorporates recycled content to reduce the environmental footprint of the fabric without compromising performance.
- How should I care for these boardshorts?
- Rinse them in fresh water after each salt water session to extend the life of the fabric and print. Machine wash cold and hang dry rather than tumble dry high to preserve the stretch and graphic quality.
- Where can I buy Quiksilver boardshorts?
- The Quiksilver Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 boardshorts are available in store and online at Island Water Sports in South Florida.
- What is included with these boardshorts?
- You receive the Quiksilver Surfsilk Tropical Surf 19 boardshorts as described. No additional accessories are included.
