O’Neill Axia Board Shorts

Surf brand O’Neill embraces seventies style with these Axia Board Shorts.

The retro design of these board shorts is fun rather than flirtatious. They don't show off a lot of skin, but their cut is very figure-flattering. They sit low on your hips, and don't have side pockets to add extra bulk. Not that we miss out on storage space. A small mesh-lined zip pocket on the back has just enough room for discreetly storing your keys and cards.

The Axia is made from O'Neill's patented fabric called Dynasuede, a soft, stretch material while allows you to easily move any way you want in the water and out. That's great for active beach goers, who know they can happily swim in the ocean or play volleyball without their board shorts holding them back. The fabric also won't puff up and drag you down when you're in the water, and once you’re back on dry land it won't stay wet for too long.

O'Neill has been one of the most trusted names in surf wear for decades. The Californian based label knows a thing or two about what people need on the beach, and it delivers with high quality, well designed surf gear. At $48 the Axia board shorts aren't the cheapest I've seen, but they represent real value for money.
