In more recent years, they have become a popular style of swim shorts.\nThe name “boardshorts” comes from their use in water sports using a board, such as surfing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to choose your boardshorts\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 RANGE: occasional surfing and water sports.\nShort cut.\nElasticated waistband: suitable for all body shapes. Drawstring for stability in the waves.\nInner mesh: protects from chafing.\nQuick drying.\n\n500\/900 RANGE: regular surfing.\nVarious long cuts, protection from chafing.\nFlat waistband: a more secure fit in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts.\nStretch fabric for freedom of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to choose the size of your boardshorts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSize guide on product file.\nThe boardshorts in the 100 range are available in sizes S to XXL.\nThe 500 and 900 ranges are available in EU sizes 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 and 48.\nYour body shape can influence your choice of size.\nWe always recommend trying on swimwear before purchase. Fasten your shorts and gradually pull them downwards. If they are easy to pull down, it means they are too big and you could be in for a few surprises once you’re in the water surrounded by waves!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChoosing boardshorts based on the type of waistband\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eELASTICATED WAISTBAND\nHelps the boardshorts to fit different body shapes.\nSEMI-ELASTICATED WAISTBAND\nProvides a secure fit and adaptability for everyone.\nFLAT WAISTBAND\nEnsures the boardshorts stay in place in the waves during duck dives and wipeouts.\nANATOMIC DESIGN WAISTBAND\nCombines the benefits of the elasticated waistband (adaptability to different body shapes) and the flat waistband (stability in the waves)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow to choose boardshorts according to length?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eShorter cuts (between 14” and 17”) give you freedom of movement and allow you to do a wide range of water sports, including surfing (for occasional sessions of less than 1 hour).\nLonger cuts (between 17” and 20”) reduce irritation from the board or wax on the thighs, and at the top of the knees when paddling. These cuts are therefore better suited to regular or even intensive surfing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWave resistance 100 range\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen surfing, whether it’s due to duck diving or a wipeout, it’s not easy to retrieve and reposition boardshorts that have fallen down while paddling at the same time...\nChoosing the right waistband for surfing becomes essential in this case.\nGo for an elasticated or semi-elasticated waistband with a drawstring that goes all the way round the waist.\nThe BS100L 18” boardshorts have a semi-elasticated waistband with drawstring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReduced chafing 100 range\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis has got to be the most important criterion when choosing swim shorts.\nIt’s not uncommon for a swimsuit or boardshorts to rub and irritate the skin.\nOur boardshorts are designed, both in terms of the shapes offered and the assembly methods, to minimise chafing as much as possible during your time in the water.\nOn the 100 range and this 18” model, the inner mesh or briefs help to minimise chafing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFreedom of movement 100 range\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn surfing, bodyboarding and bodysurfing, the legs are working hard, so boardshorts need to not restrict either bending\/stretching or kicking.\nA two-way (2 horizontal directions) or four-way (4 horizontal and vertical directions) stretch component contributes to this freedom of movement.\nA short cut (under 17 inches) also allows enhanced lower body movement and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFast drying 100 range\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is quite uncomfortable to feel the sand sticking to your boardshorts because they are still soaked with water, or worse still, to feel the fabric of the boardshorts sticking to your skin.\nTo avoid this and to maximise comfort when you wear your swimsuit wet, we recommend you choose swim shorts made from a synthetic fibre fabric component. Water will drain away faster and the swimsuit will dry quickly, keeping chafing at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePockets\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoardshorts 100 Long have three pockets, two of which are at the sides. The pockets are mesh lined to effectively drain out water and sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWaistband\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoardshorts 100 Long feature a semi-elasticated waistband with an anatomic design that keeps them securely in place in the sea when falling in the waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInner briefs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoardshorts 100 Long have built-in briefs made from BOSSIS, a stretch mesh for an even better fit and reduced chafing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSun protection: The essential equipment for boardshorts\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summer, when it is hot weather but cool in the water, surfers tend to make their surfing sessions longer without changing their equipment. The risk of sunburn is therefore multiplied.\nDid you know?\n10 to 15% of uv reflects off of the water surface meaning that 40 to 95% penetrates through up to 25 cm under water. This is why boardshorts combined with sun protection (uv top, etc.) are becoming the essential equipment for warm water surfing.\nDiscover our sun protection range!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the OLAIAN brand?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOLAIAN, DECATHLON’S SURFING BRAND\nBased in Hendaye, in South West France, OLAIAN is Decathlon’s surfing brand.
