The Shorey 16, Roark's elastic waist kickback trunk
The Roark Shorey 16 is part of the Shorey Series, an elastic waist, above the knee boardshort built as an ultimate kickback trunk. If you have been searching roark shorey or roark shorey 16 boardshorts, this is that style, made from a recycled polyester and hemp blend for everyday comfort rather than a strict performance fit.
Hemp blended stretch with a DWR finish
These boardshorts are built from a hemp blended 4-way stretch fabric with a DWR fabric finish for water resistance on the surface. They feature sideseam pockets and a back patch pocket for storage, with a 16 inch outseam elastic waist and a 6 inch inseam that keeps the length above the knee.
Made for beach days and easy wear on the water
An elastic waist boardshort like the Shorey 16 is built for pulling on and going, whether that is a beach day, a boat trip, or just lounging around after time in the water. The hemp blend stretch fabric moves with you, and the sideseam and back patch pockets give you a place to carry small essentials without needing a separate bag.
How to care for them
Hand wash these boardshorts cold and wash them separately from other garments. Do not bleach them. Line dry rather than machine dry, and if you need to iron them, use a cool iron and turn them inside out first. Do not dry clean them. This gentler routine helps protect the hemp blend fabric and the DWR finish over repeated wears.
The Roark story behind the Shorey Series
Roark is a revival of bold adventurism told through the eyes of an idealized traveling figure, spanning tees, outerwear, bottoms, and accessories. The Shorey Series fits into that story as the brand's relaxed, elastic waist take on the boardshort, built for comfort on the go rather than a competitive surf fit.
