Board Shorts for Women
Women's board shorts in four-way-stretch quick-dry fabric designed for surfing, swimming, paddle sports, and beach wear, with options across 2-inch, 3-inch, 5-inch, and 7-inch inseams plus high-waist, mid-rise, and drawstring closures. Built for full-day water sessions and pool-to-beach transitions from Roxy, O'Neill, Rip Curl, Billabong, Body Glove, and Speedo.
Womens board shorts sit between a bikini bottom and a hiking short: quick-dry, four-way-stretch fabric with side or front closures, designed to stay put through paddle-outs, pool laps, and beach activity. The right pick comes down to inseam length, rise, and primary use, from sun-coverage and chafe prevention for surf sessions to a tankini-style bottom for swim workouts.
Inseam and Rise Options
-
2-inch and 3-inch inseam: Short-cut board shorts that pair with bikini tops, the standard surf and beach pick across Roxy and Billabong. Quick-dry and built for full water mobility.
-
5-inch and 7-inch inseam: Mid-thigh coverage for swim training, paddle sports, and longer beach days. Sun-coverage advantage and a fit that stays in place on the board.
-
High-waist and mid-rise: Higher waistband options give core coverage and a secure fit during paddling, surfing, and active swim. Pair with a rash guard or active top.
