the original scallop
DESCRIPTION
Originals don't walk the path they carve it. When Quiksilver boardshorts arrived on the scene in 1969, they were the first to use two snaps and a Velcro closure to ensure they stayed on in the heaviest surf conditions. The first to utilize a yoked waist and scallop legs to maximize comfort and ease of movement. Today the tradition of creating functional radness is carried on with new fits, fabrics and designs.TRANSCRIPT
Shakas, Mahalos & Boardshorts...
On a small island in the middle of the pacific, the scallop leg boardshort made its first appearance over 40 years ago. We pulled them apart, restitched, resewed and kept them looking OG. Now 40 years down the line, it’s still all about a good time.
