Quicksilver's new Diamond Dobby boardshort infuses the latest in fabric technology with their classic design and quirky color schemes, making for a rash-free summer of fun and surf.

By using an embossed, diamond-patterned material, the Diamond Dobby technology decreases fabric to skin contact by 30 percent which eliminates chafing and rashes.

In addition, horizontal stretch and fabric memory keep the shorts in shape while adding ultimate comfort—ideal for challenging waves from the North Shore to the Gold Coast.

The trunks even shine out of the water; the weightless material dries twice as fast as the average boardshort.

Available for purchase from the Quicksilver website, Diamond Bobbies run $60.

Linden Agave Singlefin Surfboard
Surfing, more than many other sports, is both more closely connected to and heavily dependent on the health of the planet, yet the industry's been slow to get away from the use of toxic and harmful materials in boards. This is mostly due to the fact that untraditional materials just don't perform as well. A great eco-friendly alternative without compromising board performance is Gary...
