Retro Boardshorts – Red

Retro Boardshorts – Red. Red boardies with two digitally printed stripes on the left leg. A classic mid-length board short cut with no side seams to prevent chafing and a contrast waistband.

Made from recycled plastic bottles – reducing landfill & ocean pollution, and leaving a significantly smaller environmental footprint than traditional, non-recycled swimwear fabrics. The fabric is 92% recycled ocean waste and 8% spandex. Each pair is made out of 17-18 recycled plastic bottles. For the ocean, from the ocean. Save our planet. Save Mother Nature. Shop with a conscience. #bottles2boardies

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know there’s a horrifying amount of plastic waste floating in the world’s oceans – around eight million metric tonnes of the stuff. 80 percent of plastic bottles never get recycled – and although they are designed to be used only once, they stick around for hundreds of years. The environmental impacts that accompany this mass consumption are devastating to our planet and ultimately threaten all life on Earth, to the point by 2050 there will be more microplastic in the ocean than fish! Ocean pollution is undeniably one of the most serious issues of our time. The overwhelming amount of plastic in our waterways is polluting our beaches, choking our wildlife and contaminating our drinking water.
