Rhythm Raya Paisley Surf Short
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Active Water Time
The Rhythm Raya Paisley Surf Short is designed for genuine activity in the water, not just poolside lounging. The mini boy-leg silhouette sits high on the hip and delivers full coverage so you can paddle, duck-dive, and move without pulling at your bottoms. Curved side seaming with a self-bind finish adds shape while keeping the look clean and sporty.
A clean-finished waistband lies flat against the body for a flattering fit with no digging or rolling. A metal coin logo at the hip is the only branding, letting the fabric do the talking.
Rhythm Raya Surf Short: Fabric and Construction
The shell is 82% recycled nylon and 18% spandex, a blend that stretches freely in every direction, dries fast, and resists chlorine and saltwater degradation better than conventional nylon. The lining is 79% recycled polyamide and 18% elastane, providing a soft, secure second layer that moves with you rather than against you. Both materials are eco-friendly choices: recycled feedstocks reduce energy use and keep post-consumer material out of landfill without compromising stretch or durability.
The paisley print is all-over and woven into the fabric construction rather than a surface treatment, so it stays sharp wash after wash. The self-bind curved side detail is a construction-level feature, not trim, which means no peeling and no uncomfortable seam bulk where the fabric meets your skin.
