"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I love these shorts for surfing and paddleboarding. The fit is snug without feeling tight, and the wide waistband really stays in place—even after diving under waves. Plus, the chafe-free seams mean I can wear them all day without any rubbing.""When the swell is up and the water’s calling, we reach for the Wavebound Surf Short. Designed for active water sessions and laid-back beach days alike, this short blends performance with comfort in a fitted, high-rise silhouette. The 2. 5-inch inseam gives just the right amount of coverage, while the wide waistband offers a secure, held-in feel that won’t shift when we’re paddling, diving, or chasing waves. Made from eco-conscious TIDEKNIT™ fabric—crafted from recycled ghost fishing nets—this surf short is chlorine- and saltwater-friendly, quick-drying, and designed to move with us. A chafe-free seam construction keeps things smooth for all-day comfort, making this a go-to piece whether we’re suiting up for a session or lounging post-surf."
