BOARDSHORTS

Kids' Fox Boardshorts – Quick-Dry Swim Shorts for Beach & Pool

Boardshorts for children are swim shorts made from fast-drying woven fabric, designed to be worn in the water and straight back onto the beach, poolside or bike path without a long wait to dry. In this category at Foxracing.si you will find Fox boardshorts for boys and girls for swimming, surfing, SUP, wakeboarding and everyday summer wear.

What you will find in this category

• Classic kids' boardshorts – knee-length or just-above-knee swim shorts in quick-drying polyester, the all-round choice for holidays, the pool and the lake.
• Shorter-cut boardshorts – a higher hem that gives free movement when running, swimming and climbing in and out of the water.
• Boardshorts with an elasticated waistband and drawcord – easy for children to put on and adjust themselves, which is the most practical option for younger kids.
• Graphic and logo styles – Fox prints, camo patterns and plain colourways with the Fox head logo, so they also work as ordinary summer shorts off the beach.

How to choose kids' boardshorts

• Size and waist: go by the child's waist measurement and the size chart rather than age alone. A waistband with a drawcord or elastic gives the best margin for a growing child.
• Length: shorter legs mean more freedom when swimming and playing; a longer, knee-length cut covers more of the thigh and chafes less under a wetsuit or on a board.
• Fabric: light woven polyester dries fastest. Fabric with a little stretch is more comfortable for active swimming, paddling and climbing.
• Waist closure: a full elastic waistband is easiest for small children; a drawcord or hook-and-loop fly holds the shorts securely during surf and wakeboarding.
• Lining: some boardshorts have a mesh liner, others are unlined and are worn over swim trunks or on their own. Check what your child finds most comfortable.
• Seams and pockets: flat, well-finished seams reduce rubbing on a board, and a back pocket with a drain eyelet lets water out quickly.
• Sun protection: shorts cover the legs only, so pair them with a rash guard or T-shirt and sunscreen for long days in the water.

Brands

This category features Fox, a brand known in motocross and mountain biking whose kids' boardshorts carry the same graphics and logos as the rest of the Fox range.

FAQ

What size boardshorts should I buy for my child?

Measure the child's waist and compare it with the size chart for the model. If the measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger one – the elastic waistband or drawcord takes up the slack.

Can boardshorts be worn as normal summer shorts?

Yes. Because the fabric is light and dries quickly, kids' boardshorts work just as well for playing, cycling or travelling as they do in the water.

Do kids need to wear anything under boardshorts?

If the shorts have a mesh liner, nothing else is needed. Unlined boardshorts can be worn on their own or over swim trunks, whichever your child prefers.

How do I care for boardshorts?

Rinse them in cool fresh water after salt water or chlorine, wash gently at a low temperature and let them dry in the shade. Avoid tumble drying, ironing and fabric softener, which damage elastic and printed graphics.

Are boardshorts suitable for surfing and SUP?

Yes – that is what the cut is made for. Quick-drying fabric, flat seams and a secure waistband stop them from chafing or slipping while the child is on the board.
