Shorts

Shorts are a key piece of clothing to wear when you’re participating in water sports. Designed to provide sun protection, comfort, and durability, shorts for water activities should be waterproof, quick-drying, and loose-fitting. If you’re a surfer, board shorts are right up your alley—they’re typically knee-length and are a stylish choice for walking on the boardwalk or going for a hike afterwards. When you’re canoeing, paddle boarding, or kayaking, there’s no shade out on the water to escape to for a few minutes. That’s why sun protection is vital. You’ll also want protection from wind, rain, and air. Remember, the water involves a wide variety of weather and water conditions, so be prepared with the right shorts!
