          A Small Team Who Cares.

          We’re not designers. We’re Mariah and Tray, a travel-hungry couple who founded Bamboo Ave because life is frighteningly short and we want to live it doing something we love.

          For the last 5 years, we’ve been vigorously taking notes on every single piece of feedback we’ve received on our shorts. And now, we’ve created what we truly believe to our core is the best pair of shorts known to mankind - The Boundless Short.

          Customer Reviews

          Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 10 reviews.

          Love these shorts, comfortable and fast drying. Would prefer a zipper over Velcro back pocket though.

          Store owner replied: Thanks for the feedback! A zippered back pocket would be a nice touch.

          Love these boardshorts! Great for sailing! Make more bright colors, please!

          Store owner replied: These shorts do enjoy a good boat day.

          These board shorts are so comfortable and hold up to anything! This is my 2nd pair and I might get other colors soon!

          Store owner replied: Second pair already? Let’s go! Built for anything—can’t wait for you to grab more colors!

          I went on a quest at the beginning of last summer. My quest was t find the best shorts. I bought 2 pair of about 5 different brands. Yours are, by far, the best. This board short is just my latest addition and it's great.

          Store owner replied: Quest complete! Sounds like Bamboo Ave just won the shorts crown! 🙌🏽

          I'm very happy that I found the Bamboo products. The prices were excellent and I'm very happy with the fit and quality of the shorts and pants.

          Store owner replied: Nothing beats when the fabric feels as good as the fit!

          I tried these board shorts on and immediately they felt like a second skin. Perfect fit, and length and I do not have to deal with the liner in most board shorts that I usually do not like. They also look super slick too. I can’t wait to take these out on the wakeboard!!!

          Store owner replied: Now that’s what we call a second-skin win! 🔥 So glad they nailed the fit and feel—no liner, no problem. Hope they make some serious waves on your next wakeboard sesh! 🌊🛹

          Almost as smooth as not wearing anything. I probably won't wear anything else for my summers.
