Shop boys' board shorts for the beach, surf, and pool, in little-kid through youth sizes. Boys' board shorts run a longer inseam with a drawstring or Velcro waist and durable quick-dry fabric. SwimOutlet carries boys' board shorts with UPF sun protection for long days in and out of the water.
Boys' board shorts are the longer, surf-style cut of boys' swimwear, built for the beach, pool, and water play. They sit longer on the leg than swim trunks, with a drawstring or Velcro-and-snap waist and durable quick-dry fabric. Most have no interior liner, so younger boys often wear them over a lined swim trunk.
Sizing and Length
Board shorts run by age and waist, from little kid through youth. The longer inseam reaches toward the knee for more coverage, which many older boys prefer for the beach and surf. Younger swimmers often find a shorter swim trunk easier for lessons and active pool time.
Fabric and Sun Protection
Quick-dry polyester and stretch blends dry fast and stand up to sand and saltwater. Many boys' board shorts add UPF 50+ fabric for sun protection during long outdoor days. Rinse in fresh water after the beach to clear sand and salt, and air-dry out of direct sun.
