Surfers live in boardshorts. The water, the beach, cruising back streets in Indo or Mexico. While they’re ultra versatile, different boardshorts are better for different things. We’ve put together a quick guide to help sort your ultra-performance surf shorts from your casual shorts, to those that balance a bit of both. Find your best-fitting Boardshort below from the Ultimate Surfing Company.

Mick Fanning on the Mirage Activate Boardshort
“I finally got my hands on a pair of the liners, put them on, went for a surf, and instantly it just felt like someone had grabbed my butt cheeks and lifted them together and made them real perky. What that did was ease up my whole back. The looseness that I felt in my mid back and upper back, I went surfing and didn’t have any stiffness whatsoever.”
