Great Board Shorts

Trust the sizing suggestion (fits slightly small). Went up a size, fit great. Material has been perfect in pools (haven't tested yet in open ocean water but not expecting much difference). Snug where appropriate, and loose where needed. Would love the option of the same thing with netting though.

great shorts

love these shorts - they are my husband's favourite by far - he really likes the 9" inseam, casual to wear out or just to the beach.
