Get in the swim with Venroy printed trunks
The very first pair of boardshorts was invented in the 1970s by Australian surfers Alan Green and John Law. Finding the canvas trunks worn before this historic moment too rigid and water-logged for their beloved aqua sport, Alan and John used a lightweight, quick-drying fabric to craft some swim shorts with a shorter leg than the traditional trunk.
Alan and John then went on to create the Quiksilver company, paving the way for many a surf brand to follow. Looking to the Polaroid-captured past of your dad’s heyday, find your modern swimwear inspiration in the kind of original short-cut swim trunk that would make the Alan and John proud.
Based in Sydney, Venroy fashions boardshorts for the lad who likes to have fun in the sun. The creation of Theo Smallbone and Sean Venturi, Venroy began crafting swim trunks in 2010. Made locally with a focus on function, quality and durability as well as style, Venroy swim shorts sport original prints and block colour palettes with contrasting waistbands. Those planning to head to the beach before summer even ticks over can find a pair of trunks from Venroy’s new range at Angus Black in Fortitude Valley.
