There was a time when board shorts were only worn by men and boys, but thankfully over the last 40 years board shorts have been made to be worn by all, men, boys, women, and girls. Boardshorts are shorts that are specifically made for surfing, hence the name board shorts. Nowadays people wear boardshorts even if they are not surfing but are just hanging out on the beach, or around the pool or in town on a hot day. Again this doesn’t stop with guys but for girls too. Board shorts are not only comfortable, practical but they look fabulous as well. Usually fashion for girls involves wearing something skimpy and uncomfortable but when it comes to boardshorts comfort comes first and it doesn’t interfere with the fashion either, board shorts are cool no matter what you do, simple!

A whole new range of board shorts have been designed and created for the female population. How are they different? Womens boardshorts are different to mens for a couple of reasons. Generally speaking they are shorter, although women do wear the long version of the board shorts as well, and the shape of them are different to suit the female figure.

Roxy is a brand of Surf wear which is solely designated to females, they offer a whole range of shorts, board shorts, t-shirts, jumpers, sandals, and jewellery etc. The board shorts are designed a little differently to suit the shape and style of women but they still have all the great features that board shorts have such as they are fast drying, they allow you to easily move on the board and they come in a range of quirky and funky designs. Roxy was the first brand to come about for surf wear for women but they all soon caught on to the huge market that was there and today ladies have a choice from a whole host of brands such as Santa Cruz, Animal, O’Neill, and Rip Curl.
