Why Hybrid Shorts Are the Only Shorts You Need This Summer

When it comes to summer style, less is more—and nothing beats the versatility of hybrid shorts. Whether you’re hitting the beach, grabbing drinks, heading out on the boat, or just hanging by the pool, one good pair can do it all.

That’s exactly why we made Driftwood’s Everyday Hybrid Shorts and Hybrid Pro Shorts—to keep things simple without sacrificing performance or style.

What Are Hybrid Shorts, Anyway?

Think of hybrid shorts as the ultimate utility player in your summer lineup. They’re built like boardshorts but look and feel like your favorite everyday shorts. The goal? Take you from surf to street without needing to change.

We designed ours with:

  • Quick-dry, stretchy material

  • Clean, minimalist look

  • Pockets that actually make sense

  • Comfortable closures that stay put—no matter the activity

Why They’re Better Than Standard Shorts

Most shorts fall into two camps:

  1. Casual shorts that look good at dinner but fall apart in water.

  2. Boardshorts that are great for the beach but awkward at the bar.

Driftwood hybrid shorts solve both problems. They dry fast like boardshorts, stretch and move with you, and look clean enough for your favorite restaurant or brewery.

We even added zip pockets in the Hybrid Pro for golf, travel, or wherever your day takes you.

Our Two Styles: Everyday vs. Hybrid Pro

Feature Everyday Hybrid Hybrid Pro
Waist Velcro + lace Button + zip + internal drawstring
Pockets Back Velcro 5 total, including zippers
Material Stretchy + quick-dry Lighter and even more versatile
Style Laid-back Elevated/minimalist

The Everyday Hybrid Shorts are $30 and built for guys who want to throw them on and go.
The Hybrid Pro Shorts step it up with belt loops, extra pockets, and a sleeker fit.

Where to Wear Them

  • Surfing & swimming: Light, fast-drying fabric

  • Boating & fishing: Functional pockets, flexible fit

  • Golfing: Belt loops + elevated style

  • Hitting the bar: Clean, low-key design

  • Traveling: Pack one pair, wear them everywhere

Seriously, once you wear a good pair of hybrid shorts, it’s hard to go back.

Why Ours?

We make gear for coastal living that doesn’t cost a fortune.
Most big-name brands charge $60+ for hybrid shorts—we keep ours at $30–$40 without cutting corners on quality or fit. That’s because we wear them every day, too.

Final Thought

This summer, simplify your lineup. One pair of hybrid shorts can take you from the beach to the bar and back again.
