Materials and care labels

Care labelling in New Zealand follows published standards, and copies of those standards can be bought from Standards New Zealand. A New Zealand surf guide reports that about 40% of boardshorts are now PFAS-free, so ask a seller about the fabric if that matters to you. Check the fabric and the care instructions before you buy.

Season and sizing

Our price check was made in October, which is spring in New Zealand. Summer runs December to February, the warm months when most people are at the beach, while in winter (June to August) the water is cold and many surfers wear wetsuits instead. Waist sizes are in centimetres, but listings quote the outseam in inches, for example 19 or 22 inch, so compare those figures rather than the brand's size label.

What to put in your request

Say who the shorts are for, the intended use (surfing, swimming or everyday wear), the length in inches, the waist in centimetres, and the fabric you want, such as stretch or quick-dry. Add your colour preference, your budget, and whether you want a known brand or a plain style. Give your city, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga, so the seller can confirm delivery.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the shorts in your own words in a chat, and a photo of a pair you like is useful. The AI asks about size, use and budget, looks through New Zealand sellers' websites and price lists, and shows the prices it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price, size range and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. It is free for buyers.
