Board Shorts for Boys

NB! Not UPF 50+

Our board shorts for boys are designed with a focus on comfort, freedom of movement and functional Scandinavian design. The collection is created for active children who spend long days at the beach, by the pool or on holiday, and who need swimwear that feels comfortable and stands up to play.

The board shorts are lightweight, flexible and ideal for swimming, running and playing in and around the water. Designed for movement and everyday summer use, they are a practical choice for active boys.

All styles come in calm colours and timeless patterns, making them easy to combine with the rest of the swimwear collection and suitable for use season after season.

Quality That Lasts

All our board shorts for boys are made from soft yet durable materials, perfectly suited for play in and around water. The fabric retains both its shape and colour even after repeated use and washing, making the shorts a long-lasting choice for children’s swimwear.

Several styles are inspired by muted colour tones that fit naturally into a timeless Scandinavian design. The result is board shorts with a simple, harmonious look, free from short-lived trends.

Designed for Active Summer Days

The relaxed fit and lightweight fabric make the board shorts comfortable to wear all day. An elastic waistband ensures a flexible fit that adapts easily to movement, whether your child is swimming, playing on the beach or enjoying time outdoors.

The shorts dry quickly after swimming and feel comfortable both in and out of the water, making them a versatile essential in the summer wardrobe.

NB! These board shorts are not UPF 50+ and do not provide UV protection.
For added sun protection, we recommend pairing them with a UV swim shirt or rash guard, sunscreen and a sun hat.

Scandinavian Aesthetic and Timeless Details

The design reflects a classic Scandinavian aesthetic with clean lines, calm colours and subtle prints. This makes the board shorts easy to mix and match with other Petit Crabe styles, creating a cohesive and practical summer look.

Simple design ensures the shorts can be worn year after year without going out of style.

Made in Europe

Our board shorts for boys are produced in Europe in collaboration with carefully selected manufacturers who share our focus on quality, responsibility and good working conditions. Production takes place with care for both people and materials, and we set high standards for finish and durability.

The result is children’s swimwear designed to be worn again and again – without compromising on comfort or quality.
