Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult males seeking comfortable and stylish board shorts for beach and water activities. The key benefit is the combination of a timeless straight-leg fit with modern water-repellent technology. A potential consideration is that the fixed waist may not offer the same adjustability as other styles. The Quiksilver Board Shorts SURFSILK Kaimana 16 features a PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment for quick drying, a classic straight-leg fit, a 16" outseam, and a fixed waist with a drawcord closure for a secure feel.

FAQs
What does 'PFC-Free Hydrophobic Treatment' mean?
It means the shorts have a water-repellent coating that is free from perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), making it a more environmentally friendly option. This treatment helps water bead off the fabric, leading to quicker drying times.
How do I know if the 32" waist size is right for me?
The 32" waist refers to the waist circumference measurement. It's best to compare this to your own waist measurement or consult a sizing chart if available. The drawcord closure also provides some adjustability.
What is the 'SURFSILK' fabric?
SURFSILK typically refers to Quiksilver's proprietary fabric blend designed for board shorts, known for its softness, lightness, and comfort against the skin, especially during prolonged wear in and out of the water.
What is the inseam length of these shorts?
These shorts have a 16" outseam, which is the measurement from the waistband to the hem along the side. They do not typically have a separate inseam measurement as they are board shorts.
Can these board shorts be used for serious surfing?
Yes, while designed for general water activities, their secure fit and durable construction make them suitable for recreational surfing. For extreme conditions or professional surfing, some may prefer shorts with additional features or a longer length.
Are there pockets on these board shorts?
Board shorts of this style often feature a small pocket, typically on the back or side, sometimes with a zipper or Velcro closure for security. Please refer to product images or specific product details for pocket locations.
Troubleshooting
Drawcord is difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled. If it feels stiff, try rinsing the shorts in fresh water and allowing them to air dry.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the hydrophobic treatment. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Water is not repelling effectively
The hydrophobic treatment may diminish over time with heavy use and washing. Ensure the shorts are clean, as dirt and residue can affect water repellency. Consider a re-waterproofing spray if performance significantly decreases.
