Welcome to Buy-Board-Shorts.com

Hello and welcome to our brand new blog and our brand new website: Buy-Board-Shorts.com!!

We’re just a couple of surfers who got tired of paying outrageous prices for name brand board shorts and swim trunks just because they’ve got somebody’s name or logo on them.

We surf, we wear out our shorts and we want new ones… BUT we don’t want to pay $50-$75 for boardshorts so we can advertise for Quicksilver, Roxy and Billabong!

So we searched around and while we were vacationing in Hawaii we hooked up with a guy who manufactures his own line of board shorts for men, women and even kids. He doesn’t have a famous name or even a cool logo BUT he does have inexpensive boardshorts and surf trunks that we wore, surfed in and loved so we decided it was a “go”.

We’re now part of the Discount Beach Gear Family of Stores where you can also pick up some awesome rash guard shirts to pair up with our board shorts before you hit the beach!

We’re just starting with a few styles and colors but rest assured that we will be adding more as our business grows so keep checking back. If you order something from us you’ll get a email blast once or twice a year so we’ll remind you to come back in case you forget. :-)

Welcome and thanks for shopping here at Buy-Board-Shorts.com – see you in the line-up!
