Full details
The Vissla Stoke'm 17.5" Boardshort is designed for surfers and water sports enthusiasts who prioritize mobility, comfort, and sustainable material construction. These premium 4-way stretch trunks utilize a high-quality blend of recycled polyester, cotton, and hemp, making them an ideal choice for long sessions in the water or casual beach wear. While the 17.5-inch outseam offers a modern, shorter fit that prevents resistance during surfing, users who prefer traditional knee-length boardshorts may find the length to be noticeably shorter than standard apparel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vissla boardshorts, rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after every use in saltwater or chlorinated pools to remove abrasive salt crystals and chemicals. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the 4-way stretch fibers. Hang dry in the shade; avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation and color fading. The integrated key rope should be checked periodically to ensure the knot remains tight.
