Frequently Asked Questions

Common inquiries about men's surf fashion, gear selection, and fit recommendations.

What should I wear for surfing as a beginner?

Start with a quick-dry T-shirt or rash guard and boardshorts. Add a wetsuit if the water is cold.

Are surf brands true to size?

Most surfwear brands follow standard sizing, but checking each product's size guide is always recommended.

Can I wear surf apparel casually?

Absolutely. Many surf brands design apparel to transition from beach to street with comfort and style.

What’s the difference between boardshorts and swim trunks?

Boardshorts are longer and made for performance surfing, often with fewer seams and more stretch than casual swim trunks.

Are surf accessories waterproof?

Some are. Look for waterproof labels on items like surf watches, dry bags, and pouches if you plan to get wet.

How do I maintain surfwear?

Rinse in cold water after use, hang to dry in the shade, and avoid bleach or high-heat drying to extend lifespan.

Can I use regular athletic wear for surfing?

It's not ideal. Surf-specific gear is designed for saltwater, UV protection, and high mobility in the water.

What are hybrid shorts?

Hybrid shorts function both as walkshorts and boardshorts, offering water-friendly materials with street-ready design.

Are surf hats necessary?

They're optional but great for sun protection during long surf sessions. Choose hats with chin straps or snug fits.

Is UV protection important in surf clothing?

Yes. Many surf tops and rash guards offer UPF protection to reduce sun damage during extended exposure.
