Mens Shirts
Shirts With Surf Heritage
Patagonia dominates this range for good reason. Their mens shirts — organic cotton, recycled materials, considered construction — are genuinely built to last and designed with outdoor and coastal life in mind. From the lightweight organic cotton shirts perfect for warm Welsh summer days to the more structured pieces that work year-round, Patagonia has made the shirt a cornerstone of responsible surf fashion.
Camp Collars, Linens and Beyond
Beyond Patagonia, the range pulls in Katin's classic camp collar cuts, Rhythm's relaxed linen-look pieces and the more graphics-forward options from FORMER and RVCA. Volcom and Billabong add a traditional surf brand perspective with seasonal prints and colourways. There's a real range of mood here — from the kind of shirt you'd wear to a beach barbecue to something that works at a dinner table.
Practical and Relaxed
Surf shirts earn their keep because they're practical. A loose button-up over board shorts is the simplest beach-to-bar transition there is, and the shirts stocked at Balsa are all cut with that versatility in mind. Breathable fabrics, relaxed fits, nothing that needs ironing. Pick up a shirt, pair it with shorts from the collection, and you're set for whatever the Gower or Porthcawl throws at you.
