Hurley is a California surf and lifestyle label founded by shaper Bob Hurley, who started Hurley Surfboards in 1979 and launched the apparel brand in 1999 after years as Billabong's US licensee. Nike bought it in 2002 and sold it to New York brand-management firm Bluestar Alliance in December 2019; the brand now operates through licensees, including Mamiye Brothers for women's sportswear and activewear from spring 2025 and InMocean for swim. Core product is boardshorts, Phantom stretch swim trunks, graphic tees, fleece and youth apparel.

Does Hurley run big or small?

Hurley fits true to size. Take your usual US size, but consider sizing up if you want a genuinely loose fit or if you're between waist sizes in boardshorts. Most shoppers report Hurley fits close to standard US sizing, with tees and fleece cut fairly generously in length while boardshorts and swim trunks tend to feel a touch snug in the waist, and consistency has reportedly become more variable since the brand moved to licensee production.
