Board Shorts by Riz
UK & USA

Long Board Shorts – £90

These board shorts are a classic cut that fall just above the knee and are crafted without side seams for greater freedom. They also have a zipped hip pocket.

It’s really hard to find eco-friendly swimwear; the most common way to create fabric that absorbs less water and that dries quickly is to use plastic fibres. Riz use recycled materials to create beautiful board shorts with a lower environmental impact than your average swimwear, and work with environmental charities to help preserve the oceans that they celebrate in their products.

Environmentally FriendlyAll Riz boardshorts are made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials (these ones are made from recycled polyester and printed with water-based inks). Through a scheme that they call ‘Rizcycling’, they encourage customers to donate their old unwanted surf shorts to them for reusing and rehoming.

They work with The Marine Conservation Society to hold beach clean-ups, and their ultimate goal is to collect and turn the very plastics that pollute our oceans and beaches into swimming shorts. They hope to be able to bring out their first pair of 100% ocean plastics shorts in 2016.
