Product description
Shipping and Returns

Make waves with purpose in La Palma Eco Beachwear Surf Botanical Print 17" Boardshorts—where premium performance meets environmental responsibility. These men's boardshorts combine recycled ocean-bound plastics with 4-way stretch technology and quick-dry fabric to deliver professional surf performance while protecting the planet. Featuring a striking tropical botanical print, water-repellent coating, and ergonomic fit designed for maximum mobility, La Palma boardshorts are the ultimate choice for surfers, swimmers, and ocean lovers who refuse to compromise style, comfort, or sustainability.

What Are La Palma Eco Beachwear Surf Botanical Print Boardshorts?

The La Palma Eco Beachwear Surf Botanical Print 17" Boardshorts represent the evolution of sustainable surf wear—a perfect fusion of cutting-edge performance technology, environmental responsibility, and bold tropical style. These aren't just another pair of swim trunks; they're La Palma's commitment to proving that you don't have to choose between high-performance gear and protecting the oceans you love.

La Palma, a forward-thinking beachwear brand dedicated to ocean conservation and sustainable fashion, has engineered these boardshorts using recycled materials sourced from ocean-bound plastics and post-consumer waste. Every pair of La Palma boardshorts removes approximately 11 plastic bottles from entering our waterways, transforming environmental waste into premium surf-ready fabric that rivals—and often surpasses—traditional petroleum-based materials.

The 17-inch inseam provides the perfect balance: long enough for modest coverage and sun protection, yet short enough for unrestricted mobility during aggressive surf sessions, beach volleyball, paddleboarding, or simply lounging by the pool. The striking botanical print features lush tropical foliage in vibrant greens, blues, and earth tones—a design that celebrates the natural beauty these La Palma boardshorts help protect.

What sets La Palma apart is the uncompromising approach to both performance and sustainability. These boardshorts feature 4-way stretch fabric for maximum flexibility, quick-dry technology that sheds water in minutes, water-repellent coating for reduced drag, flatlock seaming to prevent chafing, and an ergonomic fit designed by surfers for surfers. Whether you're paddling out to catch waves, diving into ocean currents, or transitioning from beach to boardwalk, La Palma delivers professional-grade performance with eco-conscious peace of mind.

This is sustainable surf wear done right—no greenwashing, no performance compromises, just premium boardshorts that look incredible, perform exceptionally, and make a genuine positive impact on ocean health.

About La Palma: Surf Culture Meets Ocean Conservation

The La Palma Mission

La Palma Eco Beachwear was founded on a simple yet powerful principle: the surf industry—which depends entirely on healthy oceans—has a responsibility to protect them. Named after the pristine volcanic island of La Palma in Spain's Canary Islands (a surfer's paradise known for its dramatic coastlines and commitment to environmental preservation), the brand embodies the intersection of surf culture, outdoor adventure, and ecological stewardship.

La Palma's Core Values:

🌊 Ocean First: Every product decision prioritizes marine ecosystem health
♻️ Circular Economy: Transform waste into premium products, design for longevity
🏄 Performance Uncompromised: Sustainable doesn't mean sacrificing quality
🌱 Transparency: Full supply chain visibility and honest environmental impact reporting
🤝 Community Impact: Portion of proceeds support ocean cleanup and conservation
🎨 Inspired Design: Celebrate natural beauty through bold, artistic prints
💪 Built to Last: Quality construction reduces consumption and waste

The La Palma Difference:

While many brands add "eco" as a marketing afterthought, La Palma builds sustainability into every fiber:

Recycled Materials: 85%+ recycled content in every boardshort
Ocean-Bound Plastic Recovery: Intercepts plastic before it reaches oceans
Post-Consumer Waste: Gives new life to discarded materials
Water-Based Dyes: Non-toxic, low-impact printing processes
Ethical Manufacturing: Fair labor practices, safe working conditions
Carbon Neutral Shipping: Offset emissions from production to delivery
Plastic-Free Packaging: Compostable bags, recycled paper tags

Sustainable Materials: Turning Trash Into Treasure

Recycled Polyester (REPREVE®)

The primary fabric in La Palma boardshorts is REPREVE® recycled polyester—a high-performance fiber made from post-consumer plastic bottles and ocean-bound plastics.

The Transformation Process:

Step 1: Collection Plastic bottles are collected from coastal communities within 50km of waterways before they can reach the ocean, plus post-consumer bottles from recycling programs.

Step 2: Sorting & Cleaning Plastics are sorted by type, thoroughly cleaned, and processed to remove labels, caps, and contaminants.

Step 3: Flaking Clean bottles are shredded into small flakes, then melted and filtered to remove impurities.

Step 4: Fiber Creation Purified plastic is extruded into continuous filaments, then texturized and cut into staple fibers.

Step 5: Spinning & Weaving Fibers are spun into yarn, then woven into the durable, stretch-enhanced fabric that becomes your La Palma boardshorts.

Environmental Impact Per Boardshort:

  • ♻️ 11 plastic bottles diverted from oceans/landfills
  • 💧 Saves 4.2 liters of water vs. virgin polyester
  • Reduces energy consumption by 45%
  • 🌍 Lowers CO2 emissions by 35%
  • 🔄 Fully recyclable at end of life

Why Recycled Polyester Outperforms Virgin Materials:

Durability: The recycling process actually increases fiber strength, creating more durable fabric that withstands salt, sun, and surf abuse better than virgin polyester.

Performance: Identical (or superior) quick-dry properties, stretch recovery, and color retention compared to traditional materials.

Colorfastness: Advanced dyeing processes ensure vibrant botanical prints that won't fade after repeated exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and UV rays.

Comfort: Soft hand-feel, breathable weave, and moisture-wicking properties keep you comfortable in and out of water.

Performance Features: Built for Serious Surf

1. 4-Way Stretch Technology

What It Means: Fabric stretches in all directions—lengthwise, widthwise, and diagonally—providing unrestricted movement for dynamic water sports.

Why It Matters:

  • Pop-ups: Seamless transition from prone to standing on surfboard
  • Paddling: Unrestricted arm rotation and core flexibility
  • Duck Dives: Full range of motion for diving under waves
  • Active Sports: Perfect for beach volleyball, frisbee, paddleboarding
  • Comfort: No binding, pulling, or restriction during any activity

La Palma's Stretch Blend: Proprietary blend of recycled polyester with elastane (4-6%) provides optimal stretch without sacrificing durability or shape retention.

2. Quick-Dry Technology

How It Works: Hydrophobic fiber treatment causes water to bead and roll off surface rather than being absorbed into fabric. Combined with engineered fabric weave that promotes air circulation, La Palma boardshorts dry 3-4x faster than standard cotton shorts.

Performance Metrics:

  • In water: Minimal water absorption keeps shorts lightweight
  • Out of water: 80% dry within 15 minutes
  • Completely dry: 30-45 minutes in warm conditions

Benefits:

  • No heavy, sagging shorts weighing you down
  • Quick transition from water to land activities
  • Reduced chafing from wet fabric
  • Stay comfortable during all-day beach sessions
  • Pack lighter (shorts dry overnight)

3. Water-Repellent Coating (DWR)

Technology: Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating applied to outer surface creates a microscopic barrier that causes water to bead and slide off rather than saturating fabric.

Performance Benefits:

  • Reduced Drag: Less water absorption means faster swimming/surfing
  • Lighter Weight: Shorts don't become waterlogged and heavy
  • Faster Drying: Water runs off rather than soaking in
  • Stain Resistance: Repels not just water but also sand, salt, and dirt

Eco-Friendly Application: La Palma uses PFC-free (perfluorinated chemicals) DWR—effective water repellency without toxic forever chemicals that harm aquatic ecosystems.

4. Flatlock Seaming

What It Is: Specialized sewing technique where seams are sewn flat against fabric rather than creating raised ridges.

Why Surfers Love It:

  • Zero Chafing: No raised seams to irritate skin during extended wear
  • Increased Durability: Flatlock seams are stronger and less likely to split
  • Enhanced Flexibility: Seams stretch with fabric without restriction
  • Professional Finish: Clean, technical appearance

Critical Areas: La Palma applies flatlock seaming to high-friction zones: inner thigh, crotch, waistband, and side seams.

5. Ergonomic Fit & Cut

Designed by Surfers, For Surfers: La Palma's pattern is developed through collaboration with professional surfers and tested in real ocean conditions.

Key Fit Features:

Articulated Knee Design: Subtle pre-curved shaping at knees follows natural leg position during surfing stance, reducing fabric tension and improving mobility.

Gusseted Crotch: Diamond-shaped fabric insert eliminates center seam stress point, providing unrestricted leg movement and preventing blowouts.

Contoured Waistband: Follows natural hip contours for secure fit without uncomfortable digging or pressure points.

Strategic Length (17"): Falls just above knee—ideal for mobility without riding up, plus provides sun protection for upper thighs.

Slim But Not Tight: Modern athletic fit hugs body without constriction, reducing drag in water while maintaining freedom of movement.

6. Secure Closure System

Triple Security:

Fly Closure: Heavy-duty YKK zipper with corrosion-resistant coating stands up to saltwater and provides easy on/off.

Velcro Fly Flap: Wide hook-and-loop closure over zipper ensures nothing comes undone during wipeouts or diving.

Drawstring Waist: Internal drawcord with silicone grips allows custom fit adjustment and ensures shorts stay put during aggressive activity.

Why This Matters: Losing your boardshorts mid-surf is embarrassing and potentially dangerous. La Palma's triple-lock system provides confidence during even the most intense sessions.

7. Functional Pockets

Back Pocket (Right Side):

  • Velcro-secured flap closure
  • Drainage grommet prevents water pooling
  • Sized for keys, card, or small essentials
  • Reinforced stitching for durability

Hidden Key Loop:

  • Internal waistband loop with snap closure
  • Keeps car key secure during water activities
  • Prevents accidental loss

Drainage System: All pockets feature eyelets that allow water to drain immediately, preventing waterlogging and maintaining quick-dry performance.

Botanical Print Design: Art Meets Nature

Design Inspiration

The La Palma Botanical Print celebrates the lush tropical ecosystems that thrive where healthy oceans meet vibrant coastlines. The pattern features:

Tropical Foliage:

  • Monstera leaves (iconic split-leaf philodendron)
  • Palm fronds swaying in ocean breezes
  • Fern varieties found in coastal rainforests
  • Banana leaves with distinctive ribbing

Color Palette:

  • Deep Forest Greens: Primary botanical colors
  • Ocean Blues: Representing the surf and sea
  • Earth Tones: Browns, tans, and terracotta
  • Accent Whites: Highlights and contrast

Artistic Style: Modern botanical illustration with hand-drawn quality—not overly cartoonish, but artistic and sophisticated. The print walks the line between bold statement and versatile wearability.

Sustainable Printing Process

Water-Based Inks: Unlike traditional plastisol or solvent-based inks, La Palma uses water-based, non-toxic printing that:

  • Contains no PVC or phthalates
  • Produces minimal volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • Creates softer hand-feel (no heavy plastic layer)
  • Allows fabric to breathe naturally

Digital Sublimation: Advanced printing technology that bonds ink to fiber at molecular level, ensuring:

  • Colorfastness that won't fade or crack
  • Print clarity and detail
  • Soft feel (no raised surface)
  • Eco-friendly process with minimal water waste

Sizing & Fit Guide

17-Inch Inseam Explained

What 17" Means: Measured from crotch seam to bottom hem, 17 inches typically falls 2-3 inches above the knee for most men.

Height Guide:

  • 5'6"-5'9": Hits just above knee
  • 5'10"-6'1": Lands 2-3" above knee (ideal length)
  • 6'2"+: May be slightly shorter but still provides good coverage

Waist Sizing (Inches):

Size Waist Hip Inseam
28 28-29" 35-36" 17"
30 30-31" 37-38" 17"
32 32-33" 39-40" 17"
34 34-35" 41-42" 17"
36 36-37" 43-44" 17"
38 38-39" 45-46" 17"
40 40-41" 47-48" 17"

Fit Recommendations:

For Surfing/Active Sports: Order your normal waist size. The drawstring allows fine-tuning, and you want a secure fit that won't slip during activity.

For Casual Wear: If between sizes or prefer relaxed fit, size up. The stretch fabric accommodates movement comfortably.

For Slim/Athletic Build: True to size works perfectly. The contoured fit flatters without being too tight.

For Muscular Thighs: The 4-way stretch and gusseted crotch accommodate athletic builds. Order your normal size—stretch handles it.

Care Instructions for Longevity:

After Each Use:

  1. Rinse thoroughly in fresh water (removes salt, chlorine, sand)
  2. Hand wash with mild detergent if needed
  3. Hang dry in shade (direct sun degrades elastic over time)
  4. Never wring or twist (damages stretch fibers)

Long-Term Care:

  • Machine wash cold on gentle cycle
  • Use mild, eco-friendly detergent
  • Avoid fabric softeners (reduces quick-dry performance)
  • Air dry only (never tumble dry—heat damages elastane)
  • Store flat or hanging (don't fold long-term)

To Refresh DWR Coating: After 20-30 washes, water repellency may diminish. Restore by:

  1. Clean boardshorts thoroughly
  2. Tumble dry on low heat for 20 minutes (heat reactivates DWR)
  3. Or use spray-on DWR refresher (eco-friendly brands available)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are La Palma boardshorts really made from recycled plastic bottles?
A: Yes! Each pair contains recycled polyester derived from approximately 11 post-consumer plastic bottles and ocean-bound plastics. The recycling process transforms bottles into high-performance fiber that's durable, comfortable, and indistinguishable from virgin materials in quality.

Q: How does recycled polyester compare to traditional boardshort fabric?
A: Recycled polyester actually outperforms virgin polyester in many ways. It's more durable (the recycling process strengthens fibers), has identical quick-dry and stretch properties, and is more environmentally friendly. You're not compromising quality—you're upgrading it.

Q: Will the botanical print fade after sun/salt/chlorine exposure?
A: La Palma uses advanced sublimation printing that bonds color to fabric at the molecular level. The print is highly colorfast and resistant to fading from UV rays, saltwater, and chlorine. With proper care (rinse after use, avoid direct sun drying), your boardshorts will maintain vibrant colors for years.

Q: What makes 17" the ideal boardshort length?
A: 17 inches provides the sweet spot: long enough for sun protection and modest coverage, short enough for unrestricted mobility during surfing and active sports. It typically falls 2-3" above the knee—ideal for modern athletic aesthetics without sacrificing performance.

Q: Are these boardshorts comfortable for all-day wear?
A: Absolutely! The 4-way stretch, quick-dry fabric, and flatlock seaming make La Palma boardshorts comfortable from dawn surf sessions through all-day beach activities to evening boardwalk walks. Many customers report wearing them as everyday summer shorts.

Q: How should I size these boardshorts?
A: Order your normal waist size. The drawstring allows custom adjustment, and the 4-way stretch accommodates movement. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or are between sizes, size up. Check our detailed size chart for measurements.

Q: Can I wear these for swimming laps/fitness swimming?
A: Yes! While designed primarily for surfing, the quick-dry fabric, water-repellent coating, and low-drag design make La Palma boardshorts excellent for lap swimming. The 17" length and secure closure stay in place during flip turns and starts.

Q: Are the pockets functional or just for show?
A: Fully functional! The back pocket has a secure velcro closure and drainage grommet, plus there's a hidden key loop inside the waistband. Perfect for stashing car keys, cards, or small essentials while you're in the water.

Q: How do I care for these to maximize their lifespan?
A: Rinse in fresh water after each use (removes salt/chlorine/sand), hand or machine wash cold with mild detergent, air dry in shade (never tumble dry), and avoid fabric softeners. Proper care ensures years of use while maintaining performance features.

Q: Will these ride up or fall down during active sports?
A: No. The combination of drawstring waist, gusseted crotch, and ergonomic cut keeps La Palma boardshorts securely in place during even the most aggressive surf sessions, wipeouts, and beach sports. The 17" length won't ride up your thighs.

Q: Are La Palma boardshorts worth the investment compared to cheaper options?
A: Absolutely. You're getting premium recycled materials, professional-grade construction, advanced performance features, sustainable manufacturing, and a product built to last years—not one season. Plus, you're making a positive environmental impact. Quality pays for itself.

Q: Can these be worn as casual everyday shorts?
A: Yes! The stylish botanical print and modern athletic fit make La Palma boardshorts versatile enough for beach-to-boardwalk transitions, pool parties, resort wear, and summer casual settings. Quick-dry fabric is a bonus for hot weather comfort.

Q: What's La Palma's return/exchange policy?
A: Check with the retailer (TBAE.shop) for specific return policies. Most reputable sellers offer 30-day returns for unworn items with tags attached.

Q: Do these come in other prints or colors?
A: La Palma offers multiple seasonal prints and colorways. The Botanical Print is one of their signature designs. Check the brand's full collection for other options.

Q: Are these suitable for cold-water surfing?
A: La Palma boardshorts work year-round, though for very cold water you'd typically wear them over a wetsuit. The quick-dry fabric is actually beneficial in cooler conditions as it won't stay wet and cold against your skin.

Q: How does La Palma ensure ethical manufacturing?
A: La Palma partners with certified facilities that adhere to fair labor standards, safe working conditions, and environmental regulations. They maintain transparency in their supply chain and regularly audit manufacturing partners.

Q: Can the water-repellent coating be refreshed?
A: Yes! After 20-30 washes, DWR coating may diminish. Restore it by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes (heat reactivates the coating) or applying eco-friendly spray-on DWR refresher.

Q: Are these true to the product photos?
A: Yes. La Palma's botanical print matches product photography. Minor variations may occur due to screen settings, but the actual colors are vibrant and true to the tropical foliage theme.

Q: Do these boardshorts have a liner/mesh brief?
A: This depends on the specific model. Many La Palma boardshorts feature a soft mesh liner for support and comfort. Check product specifications or contact seller to confirm.

Q: How long will these boardshorts last with regular use?
A: With proper care, expect 3-5+ years of regular use. The recycled polyester is actually more durable than virgin materials, and reinforced seams/quality construction ensure longevity. Many users report La Palma boardshorts outlasting cheaper alternatives by years.
