The Chiller Scallop: Roark’s performance-driven boardshort. Featuring Hemp-blend 4-way stretch and a classic scalloped leg for total mobility. Quick-dry, durable, and built for the North Okanagan boat life. Stay comfortable, move freely, chill hard. Read more.
The Chiller Scallop is the boardshort our staff reaches for when the day is 100% water-focused. It’s built from a unique Hemp and Recycled Polyester blend that offers a premium, natural feel with all the technical "pop" of a modern surf trunk. The 4-way stretch ensures these shorts move with you, while the hemp fibers provide natural durability and antimicrobial properties—perfect for those long, hot Vernon summers.
The standout feature is the Scalloped Hem. By curving the side seam upward, Roark has eliminated that annoying "hang-up" on the quad, giving you a full range of motion. It’s a nod to vintage surf culture, updated with the best materials available today.
Mobility First: The 17" outseam and scalloped leg opening make this one of the most "athletic" boardshorts in the shop. It stays out of your way during a heavy swim or a wakeboard set.
Hemp-Stretch Fabric: A blend of Hemp, Recycled Polyester, and Spandex. It’s eco-friendly, incredibly tough against sand and sun, and dries in a flash.
Lakeside Utility: Features a secure drawstring waist and a zippered back pocket with an internal key loop—because nobody wants to lose their truck keys in the middle of the lake.
Fit: Performance Fit / 17" Outseam (Sits mid-thigh)
Fabric: Hemp / Recycled Polyester / Cotton / Spandex Blend
Design: Classic Scalloped leg for enhanced range of motion
Waist: Secure drawcord closure with a comfortable fly
Pockets: Back patch pocket with zipper and drainage hole
Vibe: Retro Surf / High-Performance / Sustainable
The "Hemp" Advantage: Hemp is naturally resistant to UV rays and saltwater (or lake water), meaning these shorts won't get thin and "crispy" after one season in the Okanagan sun.
Staff Approved: This is a favorite for the crew because of the shorter 17" length. It’s the "cool" silhouette right now, and the freedom of movement is unmatched.
No-Chafe Construction: Roark spent time on the interior finish to ensure these don't cause the dreaded "boardshort rash" during long days on the boat.
