Forum Surf Related V2 Boardshort 22" | Featherweight recycled nylon, classic 22" cut

The Forum is Afends' long-running surf short, and the V2 in Slate Blue moves it onto a 101gsm recycled nylon taslon — about as light as a boardshort gets, so it dries fast and disappears once it's wet. The cut is a classic straight 22" outseam sitting below the knee. A black waistband with embroidered branding, black contrast side panels with piping, and white topstitching running every seam give it a clean, retro-competition look against the washed blue.

Key Technical Features

• 100% Recycled Nylon Taslon, 101gsm: Lightweight and quick-drying — noticeably lighter than the 175gsm stretch shorts in the range, so there's less fabric hanging off you when you're paddling.
• 22" outseam: Classic below-the-knee length with a straight cut for coverage on the board.
• Drawcord waist with embroidered waistband: Fixed black waistband with a drawcord tie and mesh fly lining so the fit stays locked in.
• Velcro flap back pocket with eyelet: A secure spot for keys or wax, with a drain eyelet so it doesn't hold water.
• Contrast side panels with piping detail: Black panelling and piping down the side seams with white topstitching throughout.

Why You'll Love It

For the surfer who wants the lightest short in the lineup and a longer classic length — this is a surf short first, swim short second. If you want stretch in the fabric, look at the Scorpius or Motor instead; if you want the hemp version, the older Forum is still on the store. Model wears a size M / 32 and is 182cm tall.
