Christmas Gift Idea

Some of you may be saying. “Christmas?!?! Summer is just over!”, but we here at Buy-Board-Shorts know that if you want to get some of the coolest gifts for surfers you need to start early so that’s why we’re recommending some of our stylish and comfortable mens board shorts, women’s swim shorts and kids boardshorts.

Like our moms like to say, “it’s never to early to start shopping”!

Board Shorts Are Hip

Hotelier Andre Balazs who runs the ultra-hip Standard chain of hotels has sparked some buzz with one of his new marketing gimmicks: selling bikinis and boardshorts in poolside vending machines!

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.  :-P

Womens Board Shorts Hide Flab

Summer is here and for you women who don’t have the body of a model but still want to enjoy fun in the sun and hit the lake, beach or pool, our stylish women’s board shorts are just the thing you need to be wearing!

Our womens boardshorts are cut low to ride on your hips and cover your upper thighs, (unlike regular bathing suit bottoms).

Pair them up with a bikini top or rash guard shirt or wear them over your one-piece swimsuit and you’re stylin’.  :-)

Our women’s swim shorts run from size 3-15 and are cut wide to ride low so check ‘em out, grab a pair or two and get out there!

Women’s Swim Shorts Are Hot

womens-swim-shorts-blackSummer is almost here and it’s time to getting that wardrobe in order, ladies!

What better way to do it than with a pair of our Black Lava women’s swim shorts:-)

These aren’t ‘his’ boardshorts, these women’s board shorts are cut just for you: wide to ride low on the hips so you’ll look hot no matter if you’re miles from the nearest beach.

Our women’s swim shorts are made of soft, light and quick drying Microfiber so you can wear them in water or just hang out on your towel. Wet or dry you’ll definitely catch his attention in these flattering and stylish womens board shorts!

Plus Size Board Shorts

When one thinks of women’s plus size board shorts, the images of the ones wearing them might not be flattering. However, individuals who need to wear plus size board shorts will actually look much better in them, as they not only look more colorful and trendier, but also helps to give them a sportier and healthy appearance, which is not too bad at all. In short, unlike what some might think, wearing such apparel does more good than harm, and it is why it is hugely recommended and a very popular choice and decision for both ladies and men.

Shopping For Board Shorts

The popularity of board shorts, (also know as boardshorts, boardies, swim shorts or surf trunks), started with surfers and has spread to anybody who wants to dress in a hip, laid-back style of fashion. Even people who never go in the water or step foot on the beach are wearing and enjoying this cool style of shorts.

When you buy men’s board shorts keep in mind they have longer legs compared to most shorts. The legs come down to the knee or just above it. They’re cut to wear baggy and ride low on the hips.

Longer legs provide protection to surfers’ thighs and help keep them from getting rashes from their surfboard. The baggy cut provides room to paddle, jump up and maneuver on the waves.

Colorful patterns are typical along with Hawaiian themed prints. You can also find them in solid colors or just about any pattern you can imagine. Don’t be surprised if you see a buff, macho surfer wearing board shorts with colorful flowers on them. When it comes to men’s boardshorts it’s more colorful the better for some guys.

When you buy women’s board shorts they will typically have shorter legs that hit about mid thigh while some styles are similar to the men’s board shorts and hit above the knee. Also like the men’s they are cut to ride low on the hips and not up around your waist. Be sure so keep that in mind when shopping for women’s boardshorts as you may want to purchase a slightly larger size than you normally wear.

Women’s boardshorts come in a wide variety of colors, patterns and prints just like the men’s with maybe a bit more emphasis on female colors like pink or turquoise.

You can wear board shorts in the water by themselves, (women do need to wear a bikini top or bathing suit at most beaches), or pair them up with a rash guard to provide your skin with the ultimate in rash and UV protection that will stay on no matter how long you’re in the water.

Quality boardshorts will have reinforced seams that are usually triple-stitched for strength. Most come with a small Velcro pocket to hold your keys, cash or surfboard wax.

The standard closing is a Velcro fly with a tie or drawstring across the top. Most men’s board shorts do not have a mesh lining.

Last but not least, when shopping for boardshorts look for light, quick-drying material such as microfiber. Microfiber is commonly used to make board shorts because it is soft, light , provides minimal water repelling action and is quick-drying. What you don’t want are thick, heavy shorts that will bog you down and take forever to dry when you get out of the water.

Besides looking great and being totally stylish, men’s and women’s board shorts are comfortable and fun to wear even if you never get near the water!

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!
