About the Board Shorts

These board shorts bring bold, tribal energy to days by the water. Vibrant, painterly masks ripple across lightweight polyester, so the color stays saturated through sun, surf, and salt.

  • 100% polyester — extremely durable, shape-retaining and quick-drying
  • Extra light fabric (110 g/m²) for breathable, barely-there comfort
  • Elastic waistband with black drawstring for an adjustable, secure fit
  • Side-seam construction with pockets for structure and practical storage
  • Vivid all-over print with seam thread color matched to the design
More product details

The elastic waistband and adjustable drawstring move with you — whether you’re chasing a wave, exploring a beach market, or lounging at a bonfire — while side pockets keep small essentials close. They feel featherlight on hot afternoons and dry fast after a dip, leaving you free to keep living loud and loose. Think bright sunsets, crowded piers and late-night beach jams. The graphic reads like modern folk art: layered shapes, deep blues and sunburst golds combine into a face that feels ancient and playful. Wear them when you want to stand out without shouting — when you want clothing that tells a story about travel, rhythm, and color.
