Boardshorts Waist Size
Manufacturers use various ways to size their boardshorts, eg XS, S, M or 1, 2 , 3 or 42, 44, 46 etc. We have converted these to a recognised size to help you select the right short for you. Most women's boardshorts have rigid / fixed waist which has velcro and a lace up tie.
Boardshorts Length
Womens boardshorts come in various lengths, ranging from a 15 cm (super short shorts) to a 60 cm (three quarter length shorts) so bear this in mind when choosing. Below are rough examples of the size of the short on.
Boardshorts Fit
There are several different types of Boardshorts fits. (Depending which brand / style of short)
- Billabong Boy Fit- A boardshort that is slightly more generous all over and is meant to be worn off the hips
- Regular Fit - The idea of a normal fit. ie not slim or baggy
- Slim Fit - A slightly tighter fit than standard, mainly on the shorter boardshorts
