Fixed Waist Boardshorts
Fixed waist. Four lengths. It stays where you put it.
From the 16.5 inch Short Sets to the 21 inch Long Sets and the Jort, every fixed waist boardshort we build ties at the front and holds, through the duck dive, the wipeout and the long paddle back out.
4-way stretch made from upcycled coconut fibers and recycled polyester Repreve, finished with a caliper scalloped hem, on seam pockets and a back pocket with an integrated key rope. Water beads off the PFC-free finish instead of soaking in.
Vissla Fixed Waist Boardshorts: The Waistband That Does Not Move
A fixed waist boardshort ties at the front. The drawcords cinch it exactly where you want it and it stays there, through duck dives, wipeouts and the long paddle back out. No elastic to stretch out over a season, no waistband creeping down mid session. Vissla fixed waist boardshorts run from a 16.5 inch outseam through 17.5, 18.5 and 21 inch, all built on 4-way stretch fabric, so choosing more length never costs you movement.
Fixed waist or elastic waist?
A fixed waist ties with drawcords for a locked in fit, which is what most surfers want once the surf has some size to it. An elastic waist (Eco-Lastics) uses a stretch waistband that moves with you, easier to pull on and more comfortable for a long day that starts in the water and ends somewhere else. For surfing hard, fixed waist. For all day, Eco-Lastics. Plenty of people own both.
How They Are Built
- Drawcord closure: Ties at the front and holds. The reason fixed waist is still the standard for anyone who surfs more than they watch.
- Upcycled coconut and Repreve: 4-way stretch blended from coconut fiber polyester and recycled polyester, the same eco base as the rest of the boardshort range.
- PFC-Free DWR: Water repellency without fluorocarbons. Water beads off the surface and no PFAS wash into the lineup you just surfed.
- Caliper scalloped hem: Cut for movement through the leg at every length.
- Integrated key rope: Built into the back pocket, because losing a car key at the beach ruins the whole day.
Pick Your Length
- 16.5 inch: Short Sets, Carpark, Surf Core. Shorter, retro, well above the knee.
- 17.5 inch: Visions, Twinzer, Sidewinder, Croozer and more. The middle ground and the most versatile.
- 18.5 inch: Solid Sets, Latitude, Supersonic, Hitch-Hiker. Our most proven length and the widest choice in the range.
- 21 inch: Long Sets, Jort, Mozambique, Let's Go Yago. Below the knee and looser, the longest we make.
