Lightweight, machine washable, stretchable, seam taped, comfortable, water repellent and stylish. Boardshorts are a central piece in the modern surfers’ surf wear collection. In the last decades, wave riders have been traveling and exploring new surf spots, in every world region. It is possible to surf waves for 12 months, in summer and warm water conditions, during the 12 months of the years. Boardshorts are a great way to free yourself from the wetsuit slavery, as long as the water temperature keeps the body ready to respond to the surfing maneuvers, without losing performance. The popularity of boardshorts is a consequence of the surfing lifestyle. The surf industry has been developing new materials, so that trunks get more flexible and lightweight during a wave ride.
