We’re just a couple of surfers who got tired of paying outrageous prices for name brand board shorts 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 making mens board shorts, women’s board shorts and even board shorts for kids. He doesn’t have a famous name or even a cool logo BUT he does have cheap board shorts 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!

We look forward to seeing and hearing from more of you in the upcoming year – thank you!!

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. 

Do you know what makes up over 1/2 of all that waste?? PAPER!!

So when you or your kids head back to school in the coming weeks we here at Buy-Board-Shorts hope that you’ll keep that in mind and try to take a few simple steps to reduce YOUR paper waste. 

The easiest ones that come to mind are to use both sides of you paper and recycle. You can also use paper made from recycled paper, (is that like reincarnation?).

Australian surfer, Owen Wright, took first place in the SriLankan Airlines Pro in the Maldives yesterday!

According to many of the judges and contest officials this was one of the most exciting and high scoring finals they’d seen in years.

Owen Wright went head-to-head with Pat Gudauskas as the two battled it out for first place. Wright emerged the victor as the final scores gave Wright 19.23 and Gudauskas 18.93 out of a possible 20.

You can read about all the action here at ASP…

None of us here at Buy-Board-Shorts would have the guts to face the poisonous snakes and flesh-eating piranhas like these dudes:

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!
