Florence Cordura Airtex Boardshort

When the conditions demand more than just a standard swim trunk, the Florence Marine X Cordura® Airtex Boardshort answers the call. Built for those who push their equipment to the absolute limit—from open-ocean swimming and paddling to rescue operations—these boardshorts combine the legendary toughness of Cordura® with high-ventilation Airtex technology.

The Cordura® Airtex Boardshort is engineered with high-tensile strength yarns to prevent tearing and abrasion in critical zones, while the innovative AIRTEX side panels provide maximum breathability and rapid water drainage. Tested in the most rigorous North Shore conditions by John John Florence and his team, these are the ultimate utility shorts for high-output water activities.

Technical Utility Features:

• Cordura® Main Body: High-tensile strength fabric that is incredibly durable yet flexible and non-chafing.

• AIRTEX Side Panels: Specialized mesh-style panels designed for ventilation and instant drainage during heavy activity.

• 4-Way Stretch: Ensures total freedom of movement whether you're wave-riding or run-swim-running.

• All-New Elastic Closure: A redesigned waistband system for enhanced comfort and a secure, "no-slip" fit.

• Triple-Needle Construction: Heavily reinforced seams for long-term durability in saltwater environments.

• C0 DWR Coating: Eco-friendly water repellency that keeps the fabric light and fast-drying.

• Functional Storage: A covert side zip pocket sized to fit most smartphones and a signature yellow utility loop for keys or sunglasses.

• 18.5" Outseam: A performance-focused length that falls just above the knee with a scalloped hem for unrestricted leg drive.

Why Wavelines Loves Them:

The Cordura® Airtex is a game-changer for anyone who finds themselves constantly wearing through their gear.
