O'Neill Board Shorts

The O'Neill name is one of the biggest in the world of surfing, and O'Neill board shorts for men and women are hugely popular summer surf wear among serious wave riders.

Why O'Neill Board Shorts?

For decades, O'Neill has been one of the trusted names of quality bodysuits – suits that would stand up to the cold water of Northern California, especially in winter. The same care and attention to detail in design that went into the bodysuits was and still is applied to all the O'Neill line of swim and surf wear.

Not all board shorts are created equal. You can get cheap board shorts that can look just fine when strolling around on the sand or maybe playing some volleyball. However, the test is how they perform when you hit the water.

You want shorts that will continue to skim the body, rather than puff up and then drag you down. Of course, you also need them to stay on no matter how low slung they are. When you come back to shore, you want them to dry quickly. O'Neill shorts are made with a patented fabric called Dynasuede that achieves all of this. Combined with thoughtful design features, they have earned their popularity.

Men's Shorts

Whether you want a plain short or one with a pattern, O'Neill has you covered. Users rave about the quick-drying fabric and smart design functions like the Velcro-closing cargo pocket with drain grommets, Velcro fly and drawstring waist that allows you to easily adjust the shorts for a custom fit. They also love the stretch and fit that allows you to wear the shorts all day with no chafing or pulling. O'Neill board shorts stretch and move with you, allowing for maximum action and comfort.

Women's Shorts

When you think of board shorts for women, you don't immediately think of sexy swimwear, but the right short will flatter curves and look great while also giving you optimum performance on the waves. O'Neill board shorts for women are designed to sit on the hips and stay there. They skim the body nicely but don't cling, and this makes them more comfortable and good for serious activity. The contrast piping adds to the flattering look.

Users are thrilled with great details like the Velcro-closing pocket with the key loop and drawstring closure. Like the men's shorts, they feature 4-way stretch that keeps them up to the mark all day, and the quick-drying fabric adds to the appeal. They look great paired with a bikini top or tank, so you can still look sexy while riding the waves.

Shopping for Shorts

As with most swimwear, you really want to buy your first pair of O'Neill shorts after you've had a chance to try them on and see how the length and cut work for you. The good news is that this is easy to accomplish. O'Neill surf and swimwear is sold in all surf shops and most shops that carry quality swim wear.

When you shop this way, you can also get the advice of the sales assistants. In a surf shop, they will know their stuff and be able to help you select the shorts for the activity you do and the sort of waters in which you usually find yourself. And they may be able to help you select some great accessories to match your new shorts.

Once you know your size and preferred style, you can shop for another pair of shorts online and hunt down bargains. O'Neill shorts are designed to be long-lasting, but if you're a serious surfer, you'll need more than one pair to get you through a season. They are reasonably priced no matter where you shop and make a great investment. When you hit the sand, people will know you mean business.
