Quiksilver Redefines the Boardshort

Quiksilver has been one of the world-wide pioneers and innovators of surfing since 1969, and never has looked back since, developing top performance products for some of the world’s top athletes like pro surfer, Kelly Slater and pro snowboarder, Travis Rice. It’s surf season (summer) right now, so of course Quiksilver had to introduce something new to shock the extreme sport’s world.

Quiksilver has always strived to bring customers the highest quality products they possibly can, constantly inventing and testing new materials and technologies to further innovate the world of surfing. They have done just that with their new AG47 Boardshort. From using recycled polyester, lending Mother Nature a helping hand, to designing a completely stitch-less boardshort, Quiksilver really seems to have outdone themselves with these incredible boardshorts. The seams and even the back zipper pocket are laser heat-welded together using a techique Quiksilver calls “wave scallop construction” with no thread or stitching involved providing maximum comfort. These shorts are even sprayed with Scotchguard from 3M for optimal dryness when in the water. Now for those of you that aren’t riding in the US Open anytime soon or you just don’t want to go out and drop $125 on some boardshorts, they’ve created a full line of boardshorts incorporating the various AG47 technologies that cater to any customers budget. Check out a few of these afforable pairs after the jump and let us know what pair you’re picking up for the summer in the comments below.
