QUIKSILVER TAKARANGI 20" BOARDSHORT

The Quiksilver Tai Kehutakarangi 20" Boardshort is part of the Tai Kehu Collection, a New Zealand–exclusive collaboration with Māori surfer Kehu Butler. Designed alongside Tā Moko artists Henare Brooking and Maia Gibbs, this collection celebrates the deep bond between surfer and moana (ocean) — a tribute to Māori heritage, kaitiakitanga (guardianship), and the stories carried by the waves.

The Tai Kehutakarangi design represents strength, flow, and connection, weaving cultural storytelling into a modern performance short built for life in and around the water. Crafted from a 4-way stretch recycled polyester and organic cotton blend, it offers natural flexibility and durability, while the plant-based hydrophobic coating ensures quick-dry comfort. A Performance Arch Fit, 20-inch mid-length outseam, and functional back patch pocket make it ideal for surfing, swimming, or coastal adventure.
