Experience the legendary durability of the Birdwell 808 Boardshorts in Navy, a modern evolution of the original surf trunk that has defined coastal style since 1961. At Bering’s, we value heritage and craftsmanship that can withstand the test of time and tide. The “808” is a refined, medium-length version of the classic Birdwell silhouette, offering a contemporary fit without sacrificing the “Quality is our Gimmick” philosophy that made the brand a household name among surfers and watermen alike.

Hand-sewn in Santa Ana, California, these trunks are constructed from Birdwell’s proprietary SurfNyl™—an incredibly tough, double-layered nylon fabric that is practically indestructible. Since 1940, Bering’s has curated the finest gear for an active life, and these boardshorts are the gold standard for performance. Whether you are navigating the Gulf Coast swells or relaxing by the pool, the non-stretch SurfNyl™ softens over time, molding to your body for a custom fit that lasts for decades.

The Birdwell 808 Boardshorts are engineered for the ultimate functional experience:

• Signature SurfNyl™ Fabric: A high-tenacity nylon that is quick-drying, abrasion-resistant, and built to endure the harshest salt and sun conditions.
• Refined 808 Fit: Features a slightly tapered leg and a medium length that sits perfectly above the knee, offering a modern look that transitions easily to the boardwalk.
• Classic Tab Closure: Includes a signature stainless steel eyelet and lace-up front for a secure, adjustable fit that stays put in heavy surf.
• Iconic Birdie Patch: Proudly displays the “Birdie” logo on the center back waistband, a symbol of authentic California surf heritage and quality.
• Back Pocket Utility: A single back pocket with a drain hole and an internal key loop ensures your essentials stay safe while you’re on the move.

Invest in a piece of American history. The Birdwell 808 Boardshorts in Navy are more than just swimwear; they are an heirloom-quality garment designed for those who appreciate the beauty of a product built to last. Trust Bering’s to bring you the very best in authentic coastal apparel.
