A TRUE IPD CLASSIC: THE CHASE BOARD SHORT

A TRUE IPD CLASSIC: THE CHASE BOARD SHORT

Posted by IPD International on

You know that pair of boardshorts you grab without thinking—whether you're paddling out at dawn, hitting up your favorite taco truck after a session, or just chasing sunlit streets? That’s the Chase B100 16" Boardshort. It’s short, sweet, and built for people who don’t waste time fussing. Here’s why it's one of our best-selling staples—and why it might just become yours.

Short & Charged Up

We cut to the chase—literally. At a 16-inch outseam, these shorts are designed to let your legs breathe, tan, and move freely. Perfect for when you want that carefree freedom without fabric getting between you and the wave.

Materials That Move With You

Nobody likes boardshorts that drag or fade fast. The Chase is made with Microcheck 4-Way Stretch fabric—a blend of 92% recycled polyester and 8% spandex—so you get stretch, durability, and a nod to sustainability.

Inside the waistband, you’ll find a zigzag stitch for stability and style, plus a round drawcord with hand-dipped ends that stand up to the surf and still look clean

Practical Features That Matter

We keep it simple but functional:

  • A back welt pocket with a hidden zipper and custom zipper pull, so your keys stay put when you’re getting barrel-rolled.

  • An interior shock-cord key loop—because losing your keys sucks.

  • Stretch mesh pocket bags—drain when you need to, move with you always.

Colors That Clean Up Nice

The Chase comes in three easy-wear tones:

  • Black — timeless and versatile

  • Khaki — earthy and understated

  • Yellow — bright, eye-catching, and perfect for highlighting that post-surf glow

Match it with whatever’s going on in your day—no forced color matching needed.

Built for Real Days

We’re not here to dress you up for a showroom. IPD makes gear for doers, not posers. The Chase fits that mold: it’s for surf checks, push-through sessions, beach hangs, street runs—you name it. Simple design, no slogans, just gear that contributes to the vibe.

How to Wear It

  • In the water: Lace up the drawcord, zip that pocket, and go. These stay solid whether you’re on the wave or paddling parallel.

  • Out of the water: Rock them with an oversized tee, flip-flops or sneakers, and call it a West Coast look done right.

  • Versatile daily: Great as swim trunks, walk shorts, or even for late-night bonfires—Chase is your go-to.

Final Word from the Lineup

Front to back, the Chase B100 16" Boardshort is built for momentum. At $60, you’re not just buying shorts—you’re buying a tool crafted by surfers for surfers, with zero boardroom BS.

They’re lean, they’re techy, they’re simple—and that’s exactly the point. Whether you’re chasing waves or just chasing sun, these will get you where you need to go—and look good doing it.
