Timeless Boardshorts That Have Held Up For Generations
Part of our story since ’69. These vintage-inspired boardshorts keep things simple, with clean lines and details that haven’t needed much change. The Originals collection speaks to core Quiksilver style —timeless cuts, rear patch pockets with velcro, and a fit that just works.
The Original Arch leans into heritage with a scalloped leg. The Original Straight Leg keeps it even and minimal. The Original Blocked adds contrast with color panels, built on the same foundation.
Each style comes in a range of colorways, so you can keep your fit consistent and switch things up elsewhere. They’re made with water-resistant fabric and a fixed waist, built to dry quickly and stay comfortable in and out of the water.
Designed for the surf, but easy to wear beyond it. The Originals range also includes oversized tees like the Vintage Bubble if you want to round out your kit.
