Boardshorts

Quick-dry construction and on-water/off-water versatility

What you’re getting here. Boardshorts and tech pants from Follow — built for the water side of the day. Quick-dry synthetic fabric, no stitching where you’ll sit on it, deep pockets that don’t fill with water, and a fit cut for movement on and off the boat. Two cuts. Boardies (Follow Water Boardies, ATV 3 Boardie) are above-the-knee, classic boardshort length — get wet, dry fast, swim, ride a tube, drive the boat. Tech pants (Follow Tech Pant) are long-leg casual pants in the same quick-dry fabric — ideal as a cover-up over a wetsuit or rashie on the way to and from the boat ramp. Follow Tech Shorts sit between the two — knee-length, more tailored, work as casual shorts off the water as well. Currently a Follow-only range. Colourways across Black, Olive, Khaki, Stone, Alloy, Grey and Klein Blue (on clearance). Sizing. Follow shorts run slightly fitted in the waist — if you’re between sizes, go up. Tech Pants are cut for layering over a wetsuit, so they sit roomier in the leg. Care. Cold rinse after every session, especially after salt water. Cold machine wash on gentle. Hang dry — never tumble dry (the synthetic fabric and elastic degrade fast under heat). Don’t leave wet in the boat bag. On the water vs off the water. These work for both, but if you need a snug wetsuit-shorts layer for towed sports (water entry protection, sat under a vest, paddled under), look at our Rideshorts and Wetsuit Pants collections instead. Boardshorts here are loose-fit casual wear that get wet. New colourways drop with each Follow seasonal release.
