BOARDSHORTS GUIDE 2011 | Welcome to mesurf's 2011 technical boardshorts guide. Following over 200 hours of research, testing, shooting and experimenting, we've put together a comprehensive guide on the industry's best technical boardshorts offered to surfers over this Australian Summer.
-
BILLABONG PX1 BOARDSHORTS | Billabong know the boardshorts game well. Their PX1 technical boardshorts have all the technical features you can think of (and a price to match). Their biggest draw card is the super stretch material matched with seamless technology. With these working together they've created a set of technical boardshorts that might be hard to fault.
-
RIP CURL MIRAGE 4 BOARDSHORTS | The Mirage 4 are Rip Curl's elite pair of technical boardshorts, combining years of research and design into one top-line package. The Mirage 4 are a high performance boardshort, loaded with the most innovative technologies Rip Curl's R&D team have ever developed. As they say... "WEARING THE MIRAGE 4 IS LIKE WEARING NOTHING AT ALL".
-
O'NEILL HYPERFREAK BOARDSHORTS | The O'neill Hyperfreak boardshorts are what you'd expect, nothing short of amazing. While they might not have every single bell and whistle, it's their super stretch, lightweight material that make them one of the top pairs in the mesurf boardshorts guide. Unlike some of the other boardshorts that use different materials throughout the boardshort, the O'neill Hyper...
-
RUSTY HIGHBREED STRETCH BOARDSHORTS | If you want to stand out from the crowd in the lineup then the Rusty Highbreed Stretch psychedelic patterned boarshorts (Jay Davies signature model) will make sure of that. These puppies fall under the $90 mark making them a little less damaging on the wallet, however they don't really offer (other than stretch) more features than a standard set of boardshorts...
-
VOLCOM 3D MOD BOARDSHORTS | First up we we're stoked that the Volcom 3D Mod boardshorts come in under $90. In comparison to the competition in this price range Volcom has it nailed. While the 3D Mod boardshorts don't boast to have ultimate flex and stretch properties, they offer enough give to make sure you get the most out of each session. We really liked the lightweight and super fast drying pro...
-
HURLEY PHANTOM BOARDSHORTS | Hurley, the crew who brought together the words 'technical' and 'boardshorts', sent in their Hurley Phantom 60 GEO's to be part of the mesurf boardshorts guide. While an awesome pair of boardshorts, they're not Hurley's top notch offering. The Hurley Phantom 60 baordshorts have amazing stretch (60% patented Hurley stretch) and a flashy pattern showcasing their 'technic...
-
BILLABONG PX DOMINATOR BOARDSHORTS | The Billabong PX Dominator boardshorts are similar to their bigger and better brother - The Billabong PX1 boardshorts. However, these guys use a recycled fiber, are not 100% seamless and have a different panel cut. They feel great on and offer loads of stretch. They've got all the features you'd come to expect from a highly tuned technical pair of boardshorts. ...
-
QUIKSILVER CYPHER MASSIVE BOARDSHORTS | Quiksilver have had the Diamond Dobby DLX ™ fabric exclusively for a number of years now, with no other brand trekking down this path. While the material is super comfortable to wear, dries very quickly and is very light, it doesn't have the same stretch characteristics as a lot of the competition. The design of the boardshorts are great and they're up there...

It’s quite possible that Dane Reynolds could put out a pair of trunks that are lined sheep wool and they would sell.
-
WEST REVOLUTION STRETCH BOARDSHORTS | The West Revolution Stretch are one of the only brands offering a stretch boardshort for under $90. While the price is a key point, these boardshorts are missing the same attention to detail the elite group offer.
-
ALPINESTARS QUANTUM BOARDSHORTS | Alpinestars, better known for their functionality on the moto track, have released their 'technical' boardshorts range called the Quantum. Their little hidden cargo pocket is stylish (if you don't want to ever carry anything larger than a credit card) but doesn't hold an iphone or wallet. The boardshorts overall are on the large side, feel heavy and have two huge ...
-
BOARDSHORTS | Rip Curl have just released their Mirage Fanning Signature boardshort. Limited edition and are currently only available at a few (Premium Mirage Retail Partners) retailers around the US. Pics and info after the jump...

BOARDSHORTS | Billabong PX Dominator are a new drop that not only have the technical qualities you've come to expect from a top line boardshort, but are made from old clothing. More info and pics after the jump...
-
BOARDSHORTS | Nike have just unveiled their latest in surfwear, the 'full court' boardshort. Kinda boardshort, kinda basketball short. A little lost? Who knows? Anyway here's a clip of the short and how it will enhance your surfing experience...hahahaha
-
BOARDSHORTS | Quiksilver have just released their online custom boardshorts. It's good to see a brand offering this for Aussie market, and we have to say it's a pain free experience creating your own Quiksilver custom boardshorts. You don't have to be a design guru either...
-
BOARDSHORTS | Billabong has collaborated with the rock stars from Green Day, creating the Mass Hysteria Boardshorts range. The boardshorts are a limited edition run and only a select group of retailers stocking them. Want to know who? Read on after the jump...

Ok, so a little left of field with this one. You're sitting there wondering Why TF we've posted something on Paul Smith. Well... Paul Smith is quality gear, sure it can be a little too colourful at times, but the dude comes out with some pretty cool drops time to time, like now...
