Published on

Hurley, Nike’s surf arm, is has followed their similar 2014 effort with the second installment of their World Cup National Team Collection. The collection features Hurley’s signature 2018 Phantom board shorts with the official team crests and colorways of participating countries: England, Nigeria, Portugal, Australia and France. It is now on sale at the Nike Store online.


USA is included in the range with respect to their massive contribution to the sport of surfing and it culture. After all, what and where would surfing be without the American states of Hawaii and California?


The Hurley 2018 FIFA World Cup National Team Collection take their design inspirations for the new Nike home soccer jerseys worn by the teams in the set. The USA Phantom shorts are an exception in that they are based on the side’s 2018/19 home and away shirts.


All of the shorts are made of 100% recycled plastic and are 18” long for maneuverability while surfing or active on the waterfront.


We’ve been trying our six of the Hurley 2018 FIFA World Cup National Team board shorts over the past week. Here is a summary of what we found with them.
– They are incredibly lightweight and comfortable. Indeed, they feel like you’ve got nothing on and will have you double checking to ensure that you do.
– They are quite eye-catching as you can see from our pictures taken on location in Florida. We found random admirers asking where to buy them.


– The soccer vibe is clear in the shorts’ designs. They let you show your love for the game or support for a team even while at the beach or pool.
– The drawstring on the shorts is among the best that we’ve seen. It is flat and extremely secure. There’s no need to worry about any of the Hurley 2018 FIFA World Cup National Team board shorts falling off.


– One of the reasons that the Hurley 2018 FIFA World Cup National Team board shorts are so comfortable is because they are unlined. However, even when they are wet there is no unwelcome exposure at the groin area.


– These shorts dry extremely quickly. Go out of the water and onto the beach or pool deck and you’ll find that they are dry within 15 minutes if it is no overly humid.


– The Hurley 2018 FIFA World Cup National Team board shorts work well at the gym and even for playing soccer. We did both in them and couldn’t even tell that we were not wearing shorts specifically designed for either.
– These shorts fit true to size and spot on. They are sold by waist measurement as opposed to Small, Medium and Large. Get them in your waist size in order to ensure that you get the right fit.
