“I love the inseam length and color combo. Pretty sporty looking. I wear them casually and also for outdoor+indoor climbing. Even though they are really short sometimes I have to hike them up for super high feet. If you’re between two sizes I’d size up because the closure system works really well. Put them through less then a dozen workouts so far so take the durability ratings w/ a grain of salt.”

Love these!

"These board shorts look great on...super flattering. My husband was a little concerned about how short they are, but I assured him they look fabulous! My son liked them so much, he ordered some too."

Nichole K. (5/5)

Finally, non-synthetic swim shorts!

"Been waiting for years to finally find a pair of natural material swim shorts. Finally found them, they fit perfect! I adore them and so does my dad, he’s got a pair of each color too!"

Alec S. (5/5)

Great quality

"The quality is great, much better than I expected. Can't wait to take these out for a swim. They seem to run a bit small. I usually wear a 29 but the 30 was just right."

Felix P. (5/5)

True to size, short and comfy

"Fiance loves these, they're comfy and let him move freely and also short! Hard to find shorter shorts these days! He's typically a L (36) and the L fit very well. If you're a 38 you could probably fit but I'd size up to be on the safe side, the strings let you overtighten a little bit."

Katie R. (5/5)

Great, simple look & quality make

"Worn these a handful of times now and I've really liked them. They're such a simple, classic design but one that stands out. I like the shorter cut but they don't feel too short. They don't have much give so make sure you heed the sizing. I wear a small most of the time in swim suits (30" waist for most pants), but I checked the sizing and went with the Medium and it fits great but if I went any smaller, I'd have a hard time getting them on."

Fantastic looking-- I had to

"Fantastic looking-- I had to return them because they were too small, but the fabric and colours are great."

Katherine R. (5/5)

Solid shorties

"I love the inseam length and color combo. Pretty sporty looking. I wear them casually and also for outdoor+indoor climbing. Even though they are really short sometimes I have to hike them up for super high feet. If you’re between two sizes I’d size up because the closure system works really well. Put them through less then a dozen workouts so far so take the durability ratings w/ a grain of salt."

James M. (5/5)

A little small

"Review is for sizing specifically - these unfortunately fit a bit tight & had to be returned."

Elizabeth A. (3/5)

Great for blasting your quads

"Very comfy. Seems well made. I don't think they're particularly fast-drying however that's not a big deal because they're not knee-length. I don't like how the draw-string is sewn-in on one side but that's an easy fix."

Jonathan W. (5/5)

Love these. Length is shorter

"Love these. Length is shorter than most, but not obscene."

Q&A

Do you use C6 or C8 DWR?
Hi Levi! These shorts are made from 100% organic cotton, do not feature a DWR coating.
Does it have a liner?
Hi Ray! Our board shorts are not lined.
