About Billabong Board Shorts
Expect comfort, durability and style in a pair of Billabong board shorts. The renowned casual-wear brand, that specializes in everything from tank tops and slim T-shirts to denim and fleece apparel, is known in particular for their extensive collection of board shorts.
In much the same way big-name designers roll out seasonal collections of shoes, handbags and clothes, so too does Billabong. Twice a year, a new collection of eclectic, wildly-printed, eye-catching board shorts hits the shelves. Each collection is chock full of detailed, functional and fashionable pieces.
The Details
One look at a pair of Billabong board shorts is enough to confirm that these aren't just ordinary beach shorts. In addition to an assortment of prints, the shorts also feature high-quality details that ensure longevity and reliability.
- 100% polyester supreme suede material that is comfortable and quick-drying
- External drawstring closure
- Quick-drying, mesh-lined inset pockets
- Key lanyards with wax comb, finkey and bottle opener
Men's Board Shorts
Whether it's a basic, everyday pair or one inspired by a rock band or endorsed by a popular surfer, Billabong offers a diverse collection of board shorts for men. Among them are the following styles.
Andy Irons Board Shorts
Consider it the professional surfer's seal of approval. Andy Irons, or AI as he is known to legions of surfing fans, endorses these board shorts. They are a part of Billabong's renowned Signature collection that features board shorts attached to a variety of well-known names.
The AI Samurai board shorts are the latest addition to the collection. Worn by Irons himself in surfing competitions and on video, the Samurai is considered one of the top-of-the-line board shorts for surfers. It features a razor sharp design and is available in several colors.
Taj Burrow Board Shorts
Professional surfer Taj Burrow is known as the "aerial surfing master." Inspired and endorsed by Burrow, the Billabong Lux board shorts are part of the Signature series and feature a unique print with embroidered and appliquéd logos.
Red Hot Chili Peppers Board Shorts
It seems a no-brainer of a partnership. Rock 'n' roll and surf collaborate to introduce this popular board short inspired by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (RHCP). A hit from the moment they hit store shelves, the RHCP board shorts perfectly capture the band's image while maintaining the low-key, casual attitude of the surfer culture. Red, black and white colors dominate the shorts, with the RHCP logo prominently featured.
Foo Fighters Board Shorts
Hot on the heels of their success with the RHCP, Billabong joined forces with the Foo Fighters to create a limited edition board short. These shorts are particularly noteworthy to avid surfing fans; they are designed with world champion Mark Occhilupo ("Occy") in mind.
The shorts feature an image of a raging bull, which is Occy's moniker. These shorts are endorsed and worn frequently by Occy during competitions.
Women's Board Shorts
The Billabong board shorts collection for women is not as diverse as the men's collection, but is likely the most impressive available. Featuring playful, feminine prints and smart solids, the shorts are lightweight and quick-drying.
Casual surfers and sunbathers will gravitate toward the in-between length shorts, which are slightly shorter than the standard eleven inch inseam board short. It provides enough coverage to make surfing a comfortable experience.
More avid surfers may appreciate the eleven inch inseam, since it offers greater protection from wipeouts, as well as environmental elements like the sun and wind.
Children's Board Shorts
The surfer culture and lifestyle isn't limited to adults – many boys and girls begin surfing during early childhood. Wearing the proper clothing is essential, and Billabong offers a diverse selection of board shorts designed just for children.
Boasting colorful, eye-catching prints, Billabong's board shorts for kids are as functional as their adult counterparts.
They feature the following:
- 100% polyester supreme suede material
- Side cargo pockets
- Velcro drawstring flies
- Attractive, embroidered logos
Billabong's children's collections are available in toddler sizes, and several are part of the Signature series.
