RIP CURL BOARDSHORT OFFSET WASHED 17" | SURF VOLLEY SWIM SHORTS

THE VOLLEY BOARDSHORT THAT SMELLS OF SALT AND LOOKS LIKE IT'S BEEN WORN SINCE DAY ONE

Some swim shorts seem eternally new. And others, from the very first moment, have that patina of someone who has already lived through many tides. The Rip Curl Offset Washed Volley 16" Boardshort belongs to the second group, and that isn't a defect: it’s exactly its purpose. With its heavy enzyme wash treatment and pigment print, these boardshorts arrive in your hands already sporting a lived-in character. Just put them on and hit the water.

BENEFITS THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN AND OUT OF THE WATER

The Offset Washed Volley isn't just about retro aesthetics. Behind that laid-back look are very specific technical decisions designed for the surfer who doesn't distinguish between being in the water or on the shore.

A vintage look that isn't manufactured, it's achieved. The heavy enzyme wash works on the fabric, wearing down the color in an irregular and natural way, creating that weathered boardshort effect you can't replicate at home. The pigment print adds color depth with a visual texture that integrates perfectly with the washed treatment.

Hydrophobic quick-dry so you don't lose a minute. The 100% recycled polyester fabric includes a hydrophobic finish that repels water and accelerates drying. You jump out of the water, and in minutes you're dry. Without that uncomfortable weight of soaked fabric, with no waiting around.

The length that works best. The 16" outseam (approximately 40.5 cm) is the exact sweet spot between freedom of movement and visual style. Short enough to surf without the fabric interfering with paddling, long enough to feel good out of the water.

Pockets where you need them. Two side pockets for everyday use and a back pocket with a Velcro closure to store what you don't want to lose: your key, some cash, your wax comb. Functionality without sacrificing a clean silhouette.

Consciously crafted fabric. Recycled polyester (Recycled PET) isn't just a decorative label: it means these boardshorts are made from recovered plastic bottles, reducing the consumption of virgin resources and the environmental impact of each garment.

EXPERT ADVICE

"The Offset Washed is the boardshort for those who don't want to choose between looking good in a photo and performing in the water. The enzyme wash gives it that classic 90s surf boardshort vibe that never goes out of style, and the recycled quick-dry fabric does the rest. We use them for short morning sessions and for the entire day at the beach without changing: they hold up well and dry fast. If you're looking for a volley to wear all season, this is it."

RIP CURL WARRANTY · FROM TORQUAY TO WHATEVER SEA IS IN FRONT OF YOU

Rip Curl was born in 1969 in Doug Warbrick's garage in Torquay, Australia, when he and Brian Singer decided to make wetsuits better than those that already existed. Over 55 years later, the brand is still based in that same coastal town and continues to manufacture for surfers, not for storefronts.

With a presence in over 60 countries, Rip Curl has sponsored world champions like Mick Fanning, Gabriel Medina, and Tyler Wright, and in 2023 it obtained B Corp certification, the international recognition that validates its real commitment to the highest social and environmental standards. It isn't a marketing promise: it's an external audit that certifies they do what they say.

The Laydays range to which the Offset Washed Volley belongs represents the philosophy of quiet days between sessions: boardshorts designed to be at the beach, in the water, and out of it without changing clothes. Comfortable, durable, and with that bit of surf identity that makes the brand unmistakable.

All Rip Curl textile products include a 3-month warranty against manufacturing defects, with returns managed through the official Service Center with proof of purchase.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR OFFSET WASHED BOARDSHORTS SO THEY LAST SEASONS

The enzyme wash and pigment print are treatments that require basic care to stay in good condition:

• Rinse with fresh water after every session in the sea or pool to remove salt and chlorine
• Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C maximum, on a delicate cycle with mild detergent
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener: both degrade the hydrophobic treatment and the print
• Dry in the shade, laid flat — prolonged direct sun can affect the pigment intensity
• Do not use a dryer or iron

SIZE GUIDE

Rip Curl volley boardshorts follow a standard European size with an elastic waistband that offers a wide range of adjustment. If you are between two sizes, opt for the larger one for greater comfort in the water.
