When you're spending all day on the boat or in the surf, your boardshorts are your most critical piece of gear. Heavy, waterlogged fabrics and uncomfortable mesh liners can ruin a day on the water. At The Drop, we’ve curated our Mens Boardshorts & Swim collection to feature only the best in quick-dry, high-stretch, and anti-friction technology.
The Surf Titans: Hurley, Volcom, Billabong & RVCA
We carry the brands that built modern surf culture.
- Hurley: Famous for their legendary Phantom fabric, offering hyper-stretch and an ultra-lightweight feel that dries almost instantly.
- Volcom & Billabong: Leading the charge in sustainable performance, utilizing recycled fibers and eco-conscious water-repellent coatings to create boardshorts that are as good for the ocean as they are for your session.
- RVCA: Bringing a distinct, art-driven aesthetic combined with 4-way stretch, bridging the gap between core performance and modern street style.
The Comfort Revolution: Saxx Swim
If you hate traditional mesh liners, Saxx swim shorts are about to change your life. They’ve taken their patented BallPark Pouch™ technology and integrated it into a breathable, quick-drain mesh liner. This means zero skin-on-skin friction, maximum support, and the end of chafing after a long day at the lake.
- Boardshort vs. Swim Trunk: What’s the Difference?
- Boardshorts: Unlined with a fixed, tie-waist. Designed for maximum mobility and performance (surfing, wakeboarding).
- Swim Trunks/Volleys: Feature an elastic waistband, a drawstring, and an internal liner. Designed for casual swimming, pool days, and supreme comfort.
