Womens Surf Shorts

Our womens surf shorts collection is designed for women who spend real time in and around the water, but who also want shorts they can comfortably wear beyond the beach. Whether you’re heading out for a surf, paddleboarding along the coast or enjoying a long summer day by the sea, the right surf shorts make everything feel easier. At Ocean Sports Board Riders, we’re proud to be a surf shop in Hove, supporting the local community as well as customers further afield who are searching for reliable women’s surf shorts, boardshorts and relaxed everyday styles.

Roxy

Roxy is by far the most popular choice in our women’s boardshorts and shorts range, and it’s easy to see why. Roxy surf boardshorts strike a balance between comfort, performance and everyday wearability that really works for women who live in and around the water. With 5 inch, 7 inch and 9 inch lengths available, it’s simple to choose how much coverage feels right for you, whether you prefer a shorter, freer fit or something that offers a bit more reassurance during longer sessions.

Roxy boardshorts also stand out for their variety of summery colours and patterns, making them a favourite for women who want practical surfwear that still feels good to wear. Alongside their surf-ready styles, Roxy also offers everyday summer cotton shorts and relaxed day shorts, ideal for warm days away from the water when you still want an easy, casual look. The fits stay comfortable when paddling and popping up, without feeling restrictive, and transition smoothly from surf sessions to laid-back beach time. In our Hove surf shop, Roxy shorts are often chosen by women who want versatile pieces that fit naturally into their summer wardrobe.

Patagonia

Patagonia surf boardshorts appeal to women who value durability, simplicity and long-term wear. Designed to cope with regular use in salt water, they’re well suited to surfing, wild swimming and paddleboarding, especially if you’re spending a lot of time in the sea throughout the year. The designs are clean and functional, allowing freedom of movement while feeling secure and reliable in the water. Patagonia is often the choice for those looking for women’s surf shorts that feel dependable and hold their comfort over time.

Rip Curl

Rip Curl boardshorts reflect the brand’s strong surf heritage and focus on performance. They’re designed to feel natural when you’re active, whether that’s surfing, swimming or moving between the water and the beach. Rip Curl styles are a popular choice with customers visiting our surf shop in Hove who want women’s surf shorts that work hard in the water but still feel relaxed enough to wear with a bikini top or rash vest on shore. Alongside their surf boardshorts, Rip Curl also offers everyday cotton shorts, giving you an easy option for dry days, travel and casual summer wear.

Across all three brands, you’ll find women’s surf shorts in a range of fits and lengths, from shorter, lightweight boardies to longer styles that offer extra coverage and confidence. This collection is about helping you enjoy your time by the sea without overthinking what you’re wearing. At Ocean Sports Board Riders, both online and in our Hove surf shop, we stock Roxy, Patagonia and Rip Curl because they consistently deliver comfort, performance and that feeling of being ready for whatever the ocean brings.
