FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for casual wear?
Yes, their design is versatile enough for casual beach settings, though they are optimized for performance in the water.
What does 16-inch length mean?
The length refers to the outseam of the shorts, which sits noticeably higher on the thigh compared to standard 20-inch or 22-inch board shorts.
Can I wash these in a machine?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the fabric and water-resistant coating, though a gentle machine cycle may be used if necessary.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester fabric is lightweight and durable; however, it does not feature the heavy elastane stretch found in high-end pro-performance surf trunks.
What is PFC-free treatment?
It is an eco-friendly water-repellent coating that avoids the use of perfluorinated chemicals, which are harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after drying
This is often due to salt crystals or detergent buildup; rinse thoroughly in clean water and ensure you air dry them completely.
Water repellency seems to decrease
Over time, the hydrophobic treatment can wear off; while re-application sprays exist, regular rinsing in fresh water helps maintain the original finish longer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These board shorts are ready to wear upon purchase. To maintain the integrity of the fabric and the hydrophobic treatment, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse after use: Always rinse the shorts thoroughly in fresh, cold water after swimming in salt or chlorinated water.
- Avoid heat: Do not tumble dry or iron the board shorts, as high heat can damage the synthetic fibers and the water-resistant coating.
- Air dry: Hang the garment in a shaded, well-ventilated area to drip-dry. Direct sunlight may cause the color to fade over time.
- Cleaning: Use a mild detergent if necessary and hand wash to prolong the life of the material.
