Waterproof and quick-drying performance
When surfing, the body will constantly come into contact with seawater, so surfing Beach Shorts must first have good waterproof and quick-drying performance. Waterproof performance can reduce the penetration of seawater into the shorts, keep the body relatively dry, and avoid feeling cold and uncomfortable due to long-term immersion in seawater. Quick-drying performance is more critical, which allows the shorts to dry quickly after leaving the seawater, preventing wet clothes from sticking to the body and affecting activities, and also reducing odor and bacterial growth caused by residual moisture. Generally, special waterproof coatings or waterproof-treated fabrics are used to achieve waterproof function, while quick drying depends on fabric materials with good water absorption and breathability, such as polyester fiber and spandex blended fabrics, which can quickly dissipate moisture and keep the body dry.
Comfort and flexibility
Surfing is a water sport that requires a lot of body movements, which requires Beach Shorts to perform well in comfort and flexibility. The waist design of the shorts should be appropriate, neither too tight to affect breathing and movement, nor too loose to cause slipping during surfing. Elastic waistbands or adjustable drawstring designs are usually used to ensure a comfortable fit at the waist. In addition, the length and leg width of the shorts should also be moderate. They should not be too long or too wide to affect the smoothness of the movements, nor too short or too narrow to limit the range of motion of the legs. The appropriate length and width allow surfers to stretch freely in actions such as standing, paddling, and taking off, without being restrained by clothing, so as to better display their surfing skills.
Durability
During surfing, Beach Shorts will be eroded by seawater, exposed to the sun, and rubbed against equipment such as surfboards, so they need to have high durability. The fabric should withstand the corrosion of seawater and multiple washings, and should not fade, deform or break easily. At the same time, the seams of the shorts should be firm, using high-strength stitching and fine sewing technology to prevent problems such as open lines during intense exercise. Some professional surfing Beach Shorts will also be reinforced in areas prone to wear, such as the hips and knees, to increase the service life of the shorts and ensure that they can remain in good condition during frequent surfing activities.
Safety
Safety issues during surfing cannot be ignored, and Beach Shorts also need to consider safety factors to a certain extent. For example, the color of the shorts should be bright and eye-catching so that they can be more easily spotted by others on the sea surface and improve the rescue efficiency in emergency situations. In addition, some beach shorts are also equipped with some safety features, such as reflective strips on the waist or legs to increase visibility in low light conditions and ensure the safety of surfers. Although these safety designs may seem subtle, they may play an important role at critical moments.
Beach shorts worn during surfing have special requirements in terms of waterproof and quick-drying, comfort and flexibility, durability and safety. Only beach shorts that meet these requirements can allow surfers to maintain good physical condition and safety while enjoying the fun of surfing.
