RIP CURL SEARCH DESTROY VOLLEY 21" | LONG SURF BOARDSHORTS

THE LONG SURF BOARDSHORT BORN FROM A NEVER-ENDING SEARCH

There are boardshorts you wear out of necessity and boardshorts you wear out of conviction. The Rip Curl Search Destroy Volley 21" belongs to the latter category. Made from ultra-soft stone-washed cotton, with a relaxed fit that sits just below the knee, these long men's surf boardshorts are the perfect garment for slow days: those spent between waves, sand, and the pool, with no plan other than enjoying the water.

Its name says it all. The Search is not just a Rip Curl collection. It is the philosophy that the brand's founders put into words in 1992 to describe what they had always been: surfers in search of the perfect wave, new shores, and experiences that don't fit into a competition circuit. Destroy adds the attitude: a stone wash finish that breaks down the stiffness of new cotton and turns it into a garment that feels like you've owned it for seasons from the very first wear.

A LENGTH THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE: 21" BELOW THE KNEE

The length of a boardshort is not just a measurement: it's a statement of intent. With its 21-inch outseam (approx. 53 cm), the Search Destroy Volley sits just below the knee, offering more coverage, protection, and a look closer to a street bermuda short than a conventional swimsuit. Ideal for those who surf in cold water or simply prefer a long surf boardshort that works just as well in and out of the water.

The Cactus Green color —a muted, earthy green, close to khaki— is one of the most versatile shades of the season: it pairs naturally with white, gray, or cream t-shirts, and doesn't show wax as easily as dark tones.

TECHNICAL FEATURES: COMFORT IS IN THE DETAILS

• 100% ultra-soft stone-washed cotton — The stone-washing process breaks down the fabric fibers from day one, creating a natural softness and an authentic worn-in look that improves with every wash.

• 21" outseam (approx. 53 cm) — Long length that falls just below the knee, the most common style among surfers looking for extra coverage and a lifestyle look.

• Front pocket — Functional and discreet for storing essentials at the beach.
• Woven label — Durable branding finish, integrated into the garment without additional uncomfortable stitching.
• Color: Cactus Green
• Reference: 03JMWS / 2363

EXPERT ADVICE: WHAT TESTERS SAY

"The Search Destroy Volley 21" is the boardshort you wear when you have a good day ahead and don't want to think about anything else. The stone-washed cotton is so soft it feels like a regular pair of shorts, the cactus green goes with everything, and the buckle gives you that classic touch that laces just don't have. If you're looking for long surf boardshorts that don't scream 'I just bought these,' this is exactly it."

At the origin of Rip Curl was the search: the adventure of exploring new shores, surfing unknown waves, and living to the rhythm of the ocean. Born in 1969 in Torquay, Australia, Rip Curl was founded on the philosophy of The Search: the endless drive to discover and surf the perfect wave. More than 55 years later, the brand continues to inspire the next generation to pack their bags and live The Search, with that adventurous spirit as its unchanging core.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR RIP CURL LONG SURF BOARDSHORTS

• Rinse with cold fresh water after every use in the sea or pool.
• Machine wash in cold water (30°C maximum) with similar colors.
• Do not use bleach or fabric softener: they can alter the stone wash finish and the softness of the cotton.
• Do not tumble dry — air dry away from intense direct sunlight to preserve the color.
• Iron at a low temperature if necessary, inside out.
