Story & heritage
Quiksilver’s official store frames the Original Straight Leg 18 as a core Originals boardshort: a straight fit, fixed waist, and a shape built for real surf. That lines up with the brand’s 1969 surf-origin story on Wikipedia and on Quiksilver’s homepage.
It reads like the modern version of a house staple: clean stripes, easy movement, and enough restraint to work beyond the water.
Materials & craft
The product page lists a lightweight woven blend of 45% partially recycled polyester, 43% polyester, 8% organic cotton, and 4% elastane at 150 g/m². It also calls out 2-WAY STRETCH, a C0 DWR finish, an 18-inch outseam, a fixed waist with hook-and-loop fly, and a rear pocket.
The page also notes Quiksilver Originals branding, which keeps the piece tied to the brand’s surf-first vocabulary.
