My favorite board shorts ever in 2021. Bought a second pair this year, same style and size, and they fit more snugly, PLUS they got rid of the cool botton fly and button back pocket closure. Fly replaced with a flap of folding fabric and tht leaves a gap under the tie. And velcro on the back pocket for closure. Bummer. These ones going back. Still great shorts. Maybe just size up one size. I'm 5' 10' and 180. Size 34 too small. Need 35 ythis year. Crazy cozy.

The Hydropeak Scallop surf trunks are my favorite Patagonia shorts to date. They are stretchy and dry quickly. The fit suits me since I have a thin athletic body type. My only issue is the gusset fly vs the previous button fly. The gusset design fly does not stay in place during heavier surf, it drops below the ties. Also, I do prefer the previous zipper pocket as opposed to the hook & loop.

I've been wearing Patagonia surf trunks for many moons. These new, Hydropeak scalloped boardies are my favorite, yet. The 18" length is ideal: just long enough to minimize wax rashing when sitting on your board, but not the baggy, knee-length(+) fit of the Momentum Generation ('90's). The fabric is light & quick drying with a functional amount of stretch and, yet, adequately durable for wearing day after day, uh, after day. The drawstring closure holds well in beat down situations, and I really appreciate the fly gusset in lieu of dreaded velcro. My only quip is the use of hook & loop (velcro) on the wax pocket. Modify that to a zipper closure and expand the range of colorways. Did I mention the scalloped hem is retro-groovy and harkens back to my earliest Mex ... MoreI've been wearing Patagonia surf trunks for many moons.

These are great boardshorts overall. Lightweight, comfortable, not bulky, durable, and quick drying. I love the aesthetics as well. My main complaint with these boardies is the waist entry --- the waist does not open too much when pulling these on, so I actually have to struggle to get them over my hips and I have narrow hips. They could be improved if the fly opened more so as to create a larger opening so they slide right on. Once on, however, they are great.
They fit good, that's what I need. I wear them under my wetsuit or drysuit while scuba diving. I also use them to keep in shape while lap swimming. I visited the flagship store in Ventura last week and wanted to purchase more size 35 but none were available. Hey Patagonia, if you can make a size 33 and keep them in stock, why not size 35?
Love these shorts. They dry faster than any “quick dry” shorts I’ve owned. Love the lack of velcro fly, but the gusset limits the waistband girth so it can be a minor struggle to get it over my relatively small butt. I’d love to see a different rear pocket closure to eliminate Velcro altogether. Maybe an overlapping top..?
I love Patagonia Wavefarer shorts and have many pairs. These fit in a similar way but theyre a little shorter and there is no place to put your phone without risking destroying it if you forget and sit down. The shorts are great other than that.
Material is super thin and comfy. Pretty transparent getting out of the water. Almost like you don't have anything in at all. Other than that great.
So I have trimmed up quite a bit over the last 3 years and realized my size 32 swim trunks were feeling a bit loose. I had a hard time finding a pattern I liked online and came across these on Patagonia. I dont mind paying for quality products especially ones environmentally sourced however.I have purchased 2 pairs of these now. The first were size 31 and were so tight I barely was able to scale my thighs and butt without worry about the seams splitting. Forget pullling the laces together to tie as the flaps didnt align due to the tightness. These are for sure slim cut heavy on the slim. Which brings me to the fact that I am slim with practically no butt?? Skinny jeans look like normal jeans on me?? I returned the 31s for a 32 and sadly still find these shorts to be ... MoreSo I have trimmed up quite a bit over the last 3 years and realized my size 32 swim trunks were feeling a bit loose.

Which brings me to the fact that I am slim with practically no butt?? Skinny jeans look like normal jeans on me?? I returned the 31s for a 32 and sadly still find these shorts to be just a bit too snug trying to get them up. I find this very disappointing. And at the very high end of the spectrum price wise for a board short I dont want to risk tearing these. I am also puzzled as to why they are so expensive because there really is nothing overly special about these other than a scallop cut and fish emblem. They have less flexibility than my old board shorts from another very notable manufacturer. I have purchased several items in the past from Patagonia and probably will in the future (maybe) but find these shorts somewhat disappointing and underwhelming. The 32s are going back as well. I am 511.5 and weight 180 with a fairly trim athletic build.
I am in the water almost everyday - wing foiling, prone surf foiling, longboarding, shortboarding - these trunks are the perfect length, have the right amount of stretch, and they do not chaff. I also wear these when shaping/repairing boards in the garage - nice and comfortable. These hold up for about three years (of constant use).
