With summer on the horizon, it's time to freshen up your beach wardrobe. Boardshorts are essential - and not just for surfers. At Blue Tomato, you'll find an extensive selection of board shorts from leading brands such as Hurley, O'Neill and Billabong. These shorts not only offer first-class materials and cool designs, but also functional features for maximum comfort on the beach and in the water.
What are boardshorts and what makes them special?
Originally designed for surfers to guarantee maximum freedom of movement and quick drying, boardshorts for men, women and children have long since established themselves beyond the surfing scene. Made from high-quality materials such as polyester, nylon and Lycra®, they offer the perfect mix of stretch and durability. But are boardshorts also suitable for swimming? Absolutely! Thanks to their lightweight and water-repellent properties, they are ideal for all water sports.
Technology meets style
The development of boardshorts has made huge leaps forward in recent decades. Modern boardshorts feature innovative technologies such as Teflon coatings for waterproofness and quick drying. The ‘lotus effect’ allows water to simply roll off so that you are quickly dry again after surfing or swimming. They are also designed to offer maximum comfort even during intense movement.
What is the best way to combine my boardshorts?
Boardshorts for men can be easily combined with a T-shirt or jacket for cold days by the sea. Boardshorts for women go perfectly with bikini tops or tank tops to create the perfect beach look. For surfing and other water sports, use a lycra or rashguard to protect yourself from harmful UV rays and minor injuries.

Whether you're chilling on the beach all day or riding the waves, the comfort of your boardshorts is crucial. With different inseam lengths, from 17 to 22 inches, you're guaranteed to find the perfect fit for your needs at Blue Tomato. No matter whether you prefer it short and airy or long and casual.
