Boardshorts and Walk Shorts in One Place
The shorts range at Balsa covers two distinct camps. Boardshorts are built to go in the water — quick-dry fabrics, secure waistbands, longer lengths for paddling comfort. Walk shorts are for everything else: running errands, eating out, walking the coastal path. Both types are stocked here, from brands that have been making surf-oriented shorts for decades.
The Brands Behind the Range
Volcom brings their signature surf and skate DNA — durable, well-cut shorts with a relaxed fit and proper surf-culture credibility. Billabong's boardshorts have been a staple of UK surf beaches for years and remain one of the most reliable options in the water. Katin and Rhythm offer a cleaner, more lifestyle-oriented take on the walk short. Patagonia rounds out the range with responsibly made options built for longevity, with recycled materials across much of the range.
Surf Ready on the Welsh Coast
The Welsh surf season at spots like Rest Bay and Coney Beach starts properly from spring through to autumn. A good pair of boardshorts sees you through the warmer months, paired with a summer wetsuit for when the Atlantic swell turns up. Get the shorts sorted here and pick up your wetsuit from the wetsuits collection to complete the kit.
