Looking for a pair of premium boardies to take you everywhere? Look no further. We've rounded up 6 reliable boardshorts that are guaranteed to get you through the summer. Each with their own unique features and inspiration, we've arranged them from shortest to longest in length. It's up to you to decided which one suits you best (and how much thigh you want to show).
BELMONT | 16"
Reminiscent of the 1950's surf bum days, the BELMONT boardshort is one of our shortest at 16” in length. Clean and simple, it features a subtle all over print with an elastic waistband and a rear velcro closure pocket with drainage eyelet. The BELMONT is finished with a garment wash for added softness that completes its vintage look. Pair with the Maybe Later Tank and be prepared to get a little sun on those thighs!
PAXTON | 18"
The PAXTON is your not-so-basic board short. Covered in an ultramodern print inspired by the city streets of Japan, these trunks are a piece of art that give you dynamic style. Wear to ride some waves or pair it with our Dirt Shirt Knit to take you from beach to city, and from day to night. These boardies will have you cheering "Kanpai!" (meaning "bottom's up" or "cheers" in Japanese)
HIXON | 18"
The HIXON hybrid walkshort is one of our most unique items at TAVIK. Created with a space dye treatment (a technique used to give yarn a unique, multi-colored effect), this short can easily go from beach-wear to street-wear because of it's transferable color. Featuring a rear flap pocket, stitch detail and a waxed branded draw-cord, this comfortable pair of multi-purpose shorts will suit any adventure.
BLEU | 19"
Using a blend of premium fabrics and TAVIK’s 4-Way Stretch Technology, the BLEU features a design that can be worn in the depths of the Moroccan ocean, the city streets of Sydney or lounging on Coastal beaches. Striking electric-blue details paired with rich charcoal colors are analogous to Corey Wilson’s renowned surf photography. Features including the side-pocket and waterproof zipper are added details that effortlessly transition from beach to street.
Wilson took to the colossal Pipeline waves in Oahu, Hawaii to capture the first photo featuring the TAVIK and Corey Wilson Collaboration Boardshort.
Vital | 20"
The VITAL is a men's premium 4-way stretch 20" boardshort featuring a color contrasting pocket and waistband, branded draw-cord, and high density screen print that combine for a sleek, modern look. The sonic welded (no sew) pocket with waterproof zipper keep your essentials safe in action. Modern beach lifestyle is minimal, focusing only on what's necessary. If premium quality and effortless style are your top priorities, these boardies are vital to your wardrobe.
Crowley | 20"
The CROWLEY, another men's premium 4-way stretch boardshort, features an all-over sublimated print, a printing technique in which the heat and pressure applied to the dye sublimates, or becomes a gas, and is then absorbed into the fibers of the garment, creating a smooth, weightless print that doesn't fade or wear out.
The patches were inspired by designer Jordan Rath's midwestern roots, reminiscent of various camps and lakes throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The "Camp Tamarack M.B.C" (Modern Beach Culture) patch represents a lake near where Jordan grew up in Wisconsin. The "Western District” patch represents TAVIK and the brand’s West Coast beach heritage. Connecting these two locations was something Jordan had dreamed of while growing up, and these shorts remind you the beach is a lifestyle not a location.
The Crowley stripe is inspired by blanket lining from traditional chore jackets and barn coats, which is another way we connect the functionality of heritage workwear with modern aesthetic and design.
