Salty Crew Tidal Boardshort

A Straight Leg Boardshort Built for South Florida Days

The Salty Crew Tidal Boardshort is a straight leg boardshort with an 18 in outseam, built from a 37% recycled polyester, 34% recycled polyester, 21% cotton, 8% elastane blend that uses REPREVE recycled performance fibers. Whether the day starts at the inlet and ends on the boat, this short is designed to move from saltwater to street without a wardrobe change.

Materials and Construction

The fabric blend leans on REPREVE recycled fibers alongside cotton for a boardshort that balances stretch with everyday durability. Island Water Sports carries it with the details that matter for a hard-use short:

• 18 in outseam, straight leg cut
• 37% Recycled Polyester / 34% Recycled Polyester / 21% Cotton / 8% Elastane
• REPREVE recycled performance fibers
• 4-way stretch, quick dry fabrication
• Side hand pockets
• Patch pocket with velcro flap
• Anti-rash interior fluff thread

Who Wears This and Where

This is a men's boardshort suited to paddling out, running the boat, or walking the docks around any South Florida beach town. The 4-way stretch construction supports paddling and pop-ups, while the quick dry fabrication means it does not stay heavy after a swim. The patch pocket with a velcro flap keeps a key or a card secure through a session, and the side hand pockets carry the rest.

Fit, Wear, and Care

Straight leg boardshorts like this one are built to sit at the waist without a heavy break at the knee, which is why the outseam measurement matters more than a standard pants size when picking a fit. The anti-rash interior fluff thread is there specifically to reduce chafing against skin during long paddle sessions or a full day on the water. Rinse in fresh water after saltwater use and air dry to protect the recycled fiber blend and the elastane stretch over time.

About Salty Crew

Salty Crew began as a simple ode to traditional surf culture, honoring the explorers and hard-working people who sought thrills on their own terms rather than for fame. The brand builds modern surf-inspired apparel using contemporary fabrics and technologies, including recycled REPREVE fibers, while keeping that original ethos of self-satisfaction on the water.
