THESE BOARDSHORTS ARE BORN FROM THIN AIR. DESIGNED FOR SURFERS, FROM EMISSIONS TO TEXTILE.

The ultimate boardshorts brand since 1969, Quiksilver has dedicated itself to crafting the best surf gear for half a century, offering a perfect blend of technicity, style, comfort and durable fabrication techniques. They’ve designed boardshorts made from recycled plastic bottles that could tackle the waves of Teahupo’o and Pipeline, developed technologies that stood at the crossroads between respect for natural playground and ultimate technicity. But this Spring, they are really taking things to another level.

Picture boarshorts born from thin air, pulling gas emissions out of their environment to create your go-to essentials for your next surf trip. Sound crazy? Made it happen. But how does it actually work? To put it simply, the process filters factory gas emissions that are then distilled into bio-ethylene glycol which is in turn transformed into Bio-3 Pet Yarn, a textile used to create QS Highline Pro boardshorts. By utilizing industrial waste gases as raw materials, we continue to enforce strategy of designing out waste from supply chain. On top of this, boardshorts remain best in class, designed to ride monster waves and live to tell the tale. They are engineered for a secure and ergonomic fit, offering optimal comfort in all conditions. They’ve also eliminated the inner seam to prevent rashes, added a high-intensity rubber print to offer optimal grip to your board on the line-up and reinforced side seems to increase mobility. And if you want to see the Highline Pro boardshorts in action, keep an eye out for Quiksilver WSL CT riders Alan Cleland, Griffin Colapinto, Marco Mignot, Kanoa Igarashi and Rio Waida: they’ll be wearing them throughout the season, from Bells Beach to Oahu.
