Patagonia Men’s Wavefarer® Boardshorts – 19″ Inseam in Tidepool Blue

Meet the Men’s Wavefarer® Boardshorts – 19" Inseam in Tidepool Blue by Patagonia—classic, longer-length boardshorts built for big surf days and all-day wear. Tidepool Blue channels that deep, glassy-water look.

Key Features: These boardshorts feature a 19" outseam for extra coverage, a contoured three-piece waistband with ladderlock drawstring for a locked-in fit, and a self-draining hip pocket with key loop that doubles as a self-stuff pouch when you’re traveling light. Forward inseams help reduce chafing during long sessions.

Fabric & Feel: The Men’s Wavefarer Boardshorts in Tidepool Blue are made from durable, quick-drying NetPlus® 100% postconsumer recycled nylon faille derived from discarded fishing nets. The fabric has a sturdy, reliable feel built to handle reef scrapes and repeated wear, with a PFC-free DWR to shed spray and splash.

Why It’s Good: Using NetPlus recycled fishing nets directly tackles ocean plastic pollution, and Patagonia backs that with Fair Trade Certified™ sewing on many Wavefarer styles. Durable construction means fewer replacements over time, reducing waste and the footprint of your surf kit.

Fit & Care: Cut with a trim, surf-specific fit that hits at the knee. Order your regular waist size and adjust the drawstring for security. Rinse thoroughly after saltwater, machine wash cold, and line dry to preserve both fabric and finish. Wear the Patagonia Wavefarer Boardshorts – 19" in Tidepool Blue with a sun hoodie or long-sleeve rashguard when the UV index spikes.
