Why Eco-Friendly Boys Boardshorts Are Worth It

How Seaesta Surf’s sustainable boys boardshorts support the planet while keeping kids comfortable and cool all summer long.


You’ve got sunscreen. A wide-brimmed hat. A tote full of snacks. But what about your kid’s swimwear? Choosing eco-friendly boys boardshorts is one of the easiest ways to lower your family’s environmental footprint—and it doesn’t mean sacrificing style or performance.

1. Sustainability Starts with Fabric
Most swimwear is made from virgin plastic-based polyester. At Seaesta Surf, we use a soft, durable blend:

  • 52% organic cotton

  • 48% recycled polyester from post-consumer bottles
    That means less waste in landfills and less plastic in the ocean.

2. Built to Last (and Hand Down)
Sustainable doesn’t just mean what it’s made from—it also means how long it lasts. Our boardshorts are made with premium materials that hold up through sun, salt, sand, and wash after wash. Most of our customers pass them down to younger siblings, year after year.

3. Made for Movement
Whether your kid is riding waves or playing tag, our shorts are:

  • Breathable and quick-drying

  • Liner-free for comfort

  • Designed with flexibility and surf-ready elastic in the back

4. Small Batch, Artist-Designed
We collaborate with independent artists to create limited-run prints that feel one-of-a-kind. Each pair of Seaesta boardshorts tells a story—whether it’s about surfing, skating, or laid-back beach days.

5. A Fit Moms Can Feel Good About
As a mom-founded brand, we prioritize comfort, quality, and ethical practices in everything we make. Our boardshorts are cut and sewn in small batches, minimizing waste and ensuring attention to detail.

Support the planet and outfit your surf kid in shorts that go the distance.
