Best Board Shorts for Boys of 2026

"I was thrilled to find that these shorts have an adjustable waistband, making them perfect for my tall, very skinny son. It’s usually a nightmare to get board shorts that actually stay up for him, but these are a fantastic fit. He loves them, and I can easily tighten them as needed. Couldn’t be happier!"

"After dealing with unpredictable sizing from other brands, I found these Hurley board shorts to be a true winner. The sizing is completely reliable—the pair I ordered fit my 14-year-old perfectly at the waist and hips. The colors are vibrant and haven’t faded, and the shorts have held up really well after lots of washes. They’re lightweight, durable, and dry quickly. I’ll definitely buy Hurley again."

"The shorts are nice and long with great color and quality, just like all my Hurley purchases. My only minor gripe is the lack of elastic at the waist, but otherwise, they’re a great buy and look stylish."

"This Spider-Man swimsuit is exactly what my little superhero needed. The fabric feels sturdy but lightweight, and the fit was spot on—I didn’t have to guess the size. Even after multiple washes, the colors are still bright and the design looks new. My son is thrilled with it, and I’ll definitely be buying another!"

"I was really pleased with this purchase. The sizing is accurate, and even after several washes, it still looks brand new. Super cute—would absolutely recommend!"

"I bought these boardshorts for my grandsons, and they've been a hit! The quality is excellent, they last through multiple summers, and the stylish patterns are always a favorite. They're versatile enough to wear even when they're not swimming."

"As someone who trusts Quicksilver, I found that the fit is exactly as expected and very comfortable. I especially appreciate the vibrant color design that goes with just about any shirt my son owns."

"I had to return these shorts because the sizing ran small and the material felt thinner than I anticipated. While the UPF 50+ protection is a plus, I'd recommend measuring carefully and possibly sizing up to ensure a better fit."

"My son is obsessed with these shorts—the material is fantastic and the sizing is right on target. He wears them constantly!"

"These trunks made my hesitant beach-loving kiddo into a little superstar. The fit is perfect, they dry super fast, and the liner keeps everything comfy. Plus, the shark print makes him easy to spot in the crowd. He even tried to convince me to let him wear them to school!"

"These boardshorts are ideal for my son's active lifestyle—great for surfing and fishing. The colors and fit matched the pictures exactly and they’re durable and true to size."

The material feels sturdy, and my kid moves easily in the water. Highly recommend for parents struggling to find good swimwear for smaller kids."

"These trunks are exactly what we needed – they dry quickly and fit my son perfectly. He hasn't complained about comfort, so I assume they're great. The quality also seems solid so far."

"I found the product to be absolutely perfect—the sizing was spot on according to the seller’s guide, and my order arrived right on time. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied!"

"This is a well-made item with excellent materials. Just be aware that the S size is really suited for teens rather than adults."

"I have two boys and we absolutely love the bright colors, quality, and fit of these swim trunks. We were so impressed that we bought extra pairs! The fun patterns and comfort stand out, and they've held up wonderfully to frequent use and washing."

"My 11-year-old is incredibly picky and has sensory sensitivities, but these trunks are a win! The compression shorts lining is a game-changer—he finds them so comfortable that he wants to wear them all the time. The vibrant prints and true-to-size fit make him feel confident, and the price is just right. No more chafing issues for us!"

"What I appreciate most about these swim shorts is the softer material and built-in lining compared to the stiff, crunchy options we've tried before. My 7-year-old loves the shark pattern and the fit. The functional drawstring is essential for my skinny child, though I wish its color matched better."

"These shorts fit my son just right, especially with his long legs—they hit about an inch above his knee, which worked out perfectly for him."

"I bought these for my grandson and, while the quality isn't top-notch, the price for two pairs was a really good deal. He wore them on several trips this summer, and even though one pair had a bit of distressing on the back, I still think they were absolutely worth it."

"The colors are absolutely gorgeous and vibrant! The quality and value are impressive too. They ran a bit big for us, but I'm holding onto them for next year."

"I was really impressed by the bright colors and great quality of these shorts. They fit perfectly, and the built-in compression shorts make them extra comfortable. I love how they look and feel!"

"The boxer brief style lining is a game changer. My son hates mesh liners, and these trunks are much more comfortable for him. He spends hours in the pool now without complaints."
