Mens Surf Swimwear

Our mens surf swimwear collection reflects years of hands-on experience fitting out surfers and swimmers who spend real time in the sea. As an established surf shop in Hove, Ocean Sports Board Riders focuses on swimwear that performs when it matters, feels comfortable session after session, and suits the changing conditions of the UK and beyond. Whether you’re heading out early for a surf, fitting in a sea swim after work, or packing for time away, this is swimwear chosen with practical use in mind.

Within this range you’ll find a considered mix of swim trunks, boardshorts and volley shorts, each suited to different ways people use the sea. Boardshorts remain a popular choice for surfing thanks to their longer cut and secure waist, offering freedom of movement when paddling and stability when riding waves. Swim trunks and volley shorts are lighter and shorter, making them comfortable for sea swimming, casual beach days or moving between the water and the promenade without the need to change.

We stock mens surf swimwear from respected surf and outdoor brands including O’Neill, Quiksilver, Rip Curl and Billabong. These labels are known for reliable fits, durable fabrics and designs that stand up to regular saltwater use. Patagonia and Volcom bring a more understated feel, with swimwear that works just as well away from the beach as it does in the water. Santa Cruz adds a heritage surf influence, appealing to those who value a connection to classic board riding culture with modern comfort built in.

For longer sessions and cooler conditions, Zone3 swimwear offers a more performance-focused option. These styles suit surfers and sea swimmers who spend extended time in the water and want a supportive fit that stays comfortable throughout. Carhartt completes the range with robust swim shorts that lean towards a clean, workwear-inspired look, ideal for everyday wear around the beach and beyond.

Across the collection, the focus is on comfort and confidence in the water. Secure waist fastenings help keep shorts in place through waves and wipeouts, while considered seam placement and linings help reduce irritation during longer sessions. Quick-drying materials make a noticeable difference once you’re out of the sea, especially on cooler UK days when staying warm matters.
