Size

The First Point takes it back to the ’50s — when boardshorts were simple, sturdy and built for endless days in the salt. Fixed waist with a wider waistband, side pockets for stashing bits, and our Sun Cured trims to keep it true to Critical Slide. Cut from 100% nylon, so they’re dry before you’ve even finished your post-surf burrito. Our guy is 6'1" and wears a size 32. Stick with your regular size. Born in Bondi, inspired by history, tested everywhere.


Getting Back to the Roots of the Surf Lifestyle

Shifting focus from the competitions and the winner's podium back to the pure joy of you, a board and the waves.

 

From Humble Beginnings

Born from a blog in a sleepy seaside village on the Central Coast way back in 2009, The Critical Slide Society was founded on a vision that embodies the heart and soul of authentic surf culture. We didn’t start as a brand. We were surfers & artists, photographers & illustrators, musicians & film makers. A network of friends. 

As a creative label, we’ve collaborated with makers from across the globe who all share a similar outlook and inspiration - to shift focus from the competitions and the winner's podium back to the pure joy of you, a board and the waves.

We wanted to create a brand that would connect people through a blend of fashion, art, surf, coast and community - stripping the lifestyle back to its roots and bringing surf culture and sustainability to the forefront. Fast forward to today, and The Critical Slide Society has won the Best Boardshorts three years in a row and is stocked in the best retail stores worldwide.
