The Story Behind the Boardies

Inspired by our family trip to Costa Rica and years of surf trips that made us fall in love with the Pura Vida lifestyle, our Costa Rica Retro Boardies are built for kids who don’t slow down — from beach mornings to boat days, cannonballs, wipeouts, and chasing sunsets barefoot.

These aren’t your average kids swim trunks.

Made with true retro boardshort construction, they feature a velcro waistband, stretch front panel, and front tie closure for a secure fit that actually stays put through waves, wipeouts, and nonstop summer chaos.

Built-in waist adjusters let you dial in the fit, so they stay comfy, secure, and still have that laid-back boardie look.

Finished with our custom Costa Rica-inspired side panel, signature neon orange contrast trim, and 3 custom silicone patches, every detail was designed to feel like collectible surf gear — the kind of boardies that get worn hard, handed down, and remembered years later.

The same way people still hold onto their vintage Rip Curl and Billabong boardies — these were built to become those shorts. 


Material: 100% Eco Polyester


Details:

  • True retro-inspired surf boardshort construction
Velcro waistband with front tie closure

  • Stretch front waistband for comfort and movement
Hidden internal waist adjusters for a customizable fit

  • Lightweight + quick-drying eco polyester fabric

  • Signature orange wave contrast trim

  • One back pocket with velcro closure

  • Stitched drain hole that won’t rust over time

  • 3 custom silicone patches designed to resist rust + mold

  • Designed for movement and nonstop summer wear

  • Built to last season after season — and pass down to the next grom

Color: Lime Green + Neon Orange Contrast

The best kids bathing suits!

Love these suits! I bought them for both my boys and one for my daughter. They are such great quality but the best part is how bright they are. It’s so easy to spot in the water!

For surf or skate!

I love that these are hybrid board shorts! My son wears them everywhere, not just the water! I’m able to easily spot him, and they’re comfortable for all day!

Obsessed with this neon salmon

Being a mom we are always trying to keep our kids safe and these Hi-viz neon suits do exactly that. I could spot the boys in the pool so easily and got compliments from other moms saying they could spot our boys first. I ordered their normal sizes and they both have RTG which I appreciate! We need all the colors!!

Wore this to the beach yesterday and loved how bright they were! My son had fun playing for hours in them and felt comfortable the whole time - dry or wet! New favorite suit!

Rhonda Canady review photo

Yes so happy to hear you love them! And how bright they are for water safety and spotting our littles quickly especially on the beach! Also I feel you on your kid being comfy in them as well! That is probably my favorite as well as a mom! My son was in his all day today- morning-bedtime- and had to force him to change into 'pjs' lol. Thank you so much for the kind review!

Great visibility that doesn’t hurt your eyes

Going to Hawaii in February and wanted something that was easily visible. These are definitely high visibility while not being obnoxious. They are made from quality material. Excited for my 18 month old to wear them.

The color is AWESOME

First off- THANK YOU for creating BRIGHT swimwear that keeps my feral toddler visible! Seriously... I love blue but decided this year and how wild he is I need safe swim and this delivers! This color is perfect and I love that it has the mesh lining simply because I know if I want to I can cut it out easy peasy if I want- I have left it so far as it doesn't seem to bother my little dude at all. Also can we talk about length? I loved having short shorts for my dude when he was a baby but now as an active 3 yr old- I love the longer look and it fits just right- right above the knee- not too long- not too short... it's the perfect length. My little dude looks bright from a distant and I absolutely love that- can't wait for all of our beach days this summer.

FAQs

Orders typically ship within 3–5 business days.

We’re a small, mama-owned brand and pack everything ourselves out of our garage, so we move as quickly as possible while making sure each order is packed with care.

Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking by email. Delivery time depends on the carrier and your location.

Please note: if your order includes a pre-order item, everything will ship together once the pre-order item arrives.

We have a 14-day return policy.

If something doesn’t work out, we’re happy to help with a return for store credit within 14 days of delivery. We’re a small mama-owned shop, so returns are refunded in the form of store credit rather than back to the original payment method.

Items must be unworn, unwashed, and in their original condition.

Please note: all sale items, holiday items, and swimwear are final sale.

If you’re unsure about sizing, please reach out before ordering — we’re always happy to help you find the best fit.
