Board Shorts

Womens Board Shorts

Womens board shorts were originally intended for surfing and other active aquatic sports, and are still worn for that purpose. However, board shorts are wildly popular amongst all beach lovers. They're ideal for casual outdoor events and as a comfortable cover-up over a swimsuit. Board shorts for women come in many styles and colours to match different needs. They're seen in trend-setting activewear ensembles since they can be worn with other beach-style clothing such as tank tops, tankinis, and halter tops.

Complete Your Beach Outfit with Womens Board Shorts

Short grey or cobalt boardies look similar to other casual shorts and are the best to wear while browsing surf shops and other casual beach-side establishments. Black board shorts paired with a t-shirt and beach hat will look great worn to a bonfire on a warm afternoon or evening. Wear bright, floral womens board shorts while relaxing and swimming. Bikini bottoms and briefs remain fashionable underneath womens board shorts, and are kept from getting wet or filling with sand.

Womens Board Shorts for Skin Protection

3/4 length boardies were designed foremost for rough water activities such as bodysurfing, surfing and kayaking. The material protects legs from the sharp edges of boards and keeps surfers modest while allowing room for completely free movement and activity. Also, wax is used to cover surfboards. This sticky solution prevents surfers from falling off their boards. This wax can be rub painfully if the surfer sits directly on their board without any protection. Their skin and any surrounding hair will get caught in the wax. 3/4 length board shorts for women are therefore worn for the same reasons skateboard enthusiasts wear baggy denim shorts, and motorcycle riders wear leather jackets.

Unlike other swim shorts, womens board shorts do not have an elastic waist. Board shorts for women have a sturdier waistband which opens at the front. A doubled Velcro fly and lace-up tie on board shorts for women guarantees security while out in the surf. Both of these features will prevent the shorts from falling off in the waves during intense surfing, swimming and tumbling. Most board shorts for women are made from Peachskin due to the fabric's fast drying time and lightness in the water. Many ladies board shorts come with secure pockets for holding keys. Valuable items such as cell phones and money should never be kept in these pockets. Beach-inpsired drawstring purses, messenger bags and beach bags are better for storing possessions than womens board shorts.
