Yes, it’s that time of year again – time for the 25th annual Eddie Aikau surfing contest sponsored by Quicksilver in memory of the late Eddie Aikau.

While the surf is currently triple-overhead with 18′ sets and good conditions, it’s just not quite big enough for the biggest of the big wave-ridding events which requires waves of at least 25′ to begin the contest!

You can get live streaming video of the contest as well as text alerts and updates by going to the official Eddie Aikau site here…

This week we’re happy to give our readers an additional 5% off on our already low-priced mens board shorts.

Like all of our boardshorts and swim shorts, our men’s swim trunks are are lightweight yet durable so you can surf, snorkel, play volleyball or nap on your towel in comfort and style.

All you have to do is use coupon code mens-board-shorts when you checkout – it’s that easy!

Now she’s part of the San Diego Dog Surfing Association and has her own website called Rip Curl Ricki.

When not out surfing for fun, Ricochet, (or Ricki for short), surfs with Patrick, her fifteen year-old quadriplegic surfing partner.

We here at Buy Board Shorts thought this was too cute not to share… maybe we should consider a line of boardshorts for dogs!!

We here at Buy Board Shorts want to send our congrats out to Brazilian junior pro surfer Jadson Andre who won the Oakley Rio Pro Junior event this past Sunday in Rio de Janeiro. The contest started last Friday and finished up in clean, 2-3′ surf at at Arpoador Beach.

Andre scored the only perfect 10 point ride of the entire event and won the final round over his good friend Miguel Pupo. Both surfers are guaranteed spots into the Billabong ASP World Junior Championships in Australia in January, 2010.

“We made it quite a heat, each one taking some waves and when I want so much something, it happens. I’m stoked for it. Me and Miguel (Pupo) are brothers and when he was at the peak, I waited in the middle and when I was with the priority he waited, so who surfed better would win the heat” said Andre… way to go… and nice boardshorts you got on there too! 

Of course we here at Buy Board Shorts think this a a brilliant marketing idea and only wish we could afford to put vending machines with our board shorts and swim shorts in them at every pool in the country. 

The answer is unequivocally, No!.

Let’s say it again just to be sure you all hear us: NO – guys, (and gals for that matter), should NOT wear underwear while wearing boardshorts!!

We hear some dudes claim that they wear boxers to prevent a rash, or that boxers feel more comfortable, or whatever. This is B.S.!

Think about it for a minute… who wants wet, waded up cotton hugging their parts instead of the free-and-easy, quick drying feel of boardshorts letting everything air out quickly and painlessly? Maybe YOU want to walk around in dry board shorts and wet boxers that will eventually dry into stiff cardboard with sand and salt in them, but WE sure don’t!!

Glad we could answer that one for ya – keep the cards and letters coming, folks. 

While not as ‘traditional’ as one might think about boardshorts, they were none the less on stage in a venue you would never think they would be!

We here at Buy-Board-Shorts love to see men’s and women’s boardshorts break the traditional beach and surfer mold and into mainstream fashion. That’s because we wear our boardshorts and swim shorts EVERYWHERE.
