Pura Vida Boardshorts

The Story Behind the Boardies

Inspired by our family trip to Costa Rica 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.

Headwear Care Instructions: To keep your Noggin Headwear looking its best, we recommend spot cleaning for everyday stains and dirt. Our hats are made with stain-resistant materials that make quick clean-ups easy and help extend their lifespan.

For a deeper clean, hand washing with mild soap is preferred. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry. Frequent machine washing may shorten the life of your hat, so reserve it for occasional needs to maintain quality and longevity.
