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

The event runs from 9:30am – Noon across from Neptune’s Net restaurant. (42505 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, 90265). Parking is free on PCH.

Come early for a morning surf session at County Line before the clean up and then walk across PCH for lunch at Neptune’s Net after the clean up. 

In Australia, Margaret River is one of the few surf breaks on the ASP World Qualifying Series capable of really challenging professional surfers by delivering powerful, large surf.

Today a solid six-to-eight-foot swell was pounding the outer reef at Surfers’ Point for the competitors to show their stuff.

The message became clearer even before the opening heat began when veteran Brazilian surfer Paulo Moura signaled to the judging tower by waiving his broken board to hold off on starting the heat and get a new board out to him after his was snapped when paddling to the line-up.

The frantic start failed to rattle Moura, who went on to impressively win the heat, defeating up and coming Hawaiian Mason Ho comfortably on a score line of each surfers top two scoring rides of 13.50 to Ho’s 11.23.

“That was a tough start to the heat and luckily I was able to get the attention of the tower and get a new board out quickly,” Moura said. “Waves like this test us all and you feel good about your surfing when you win in these conditions.”

Australia’s fastest emerging young surfer, Owen Wright, who grew up on NSW’s south coast but has recently relocated to Lennox Head, is rapidly establishing himself on the open ASP circuit and this morning toyed with the conditions to notch up another impressive heat win.

With excellent large surf fore all week, Wright is optimistic about his chances here.

“It’s big open ocean surf and I definitely like the wave as you have plenty of scope to really put together large power driven moves,” Wright said. “If it gets bigger as they are predicting I’m fine with that, I’d prefer it bigger than smaller.”

Well, look no further!

This week we’re putting these adorable pink girl’s board shorts on sale just for our Buy-Board-Shorts.com blog readers. 

Like all of our boardshorts and swim shorts, these kid’s board shorts are quality shorts at a decent price. Why pay big bucks to wear some logo and advertise for  brand name board shorts like Roxy or Quicksilver when your little one will be grown out of them in one summer anyway?!?

Our kid’s swim shorts regularly sell for just $12.95 and this week only you can get an additional 5% off this already low, super discount price simply by using coupon code kids-board-shorts when you checkout! Just add the board shorts to your shopping cart and enter the coupon on the second page of the shopping cart after you enter your address and BEFORE you pay.

Keeping with the beach/Hawaiian vibe we know our Buy-Board-Shorts.com customers love we’re introducing our sister site: Buy-Hawaiian-Seat-Covers.com

Yep, one site devoted solely to selling the coolest and highest quality Hawaiian print car seat covers around!

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above questions then you need to checkout Buy Hawaiian Seat Covers and get your auto decked out! That is, of course, after you get yourself decked out in a couple of pairs of stylin’ board 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!

Hey dudes – this sale is for you!

This week only, you can use coupon code mens-board-shorts when you checkout to get a special discount on these rad  swim trunks. Please note you need to enter the coupon code in the Coupon box of the shopping cart, NOT the Promotional Code box.

Our mens swim shorts are lightweight yet durable so you can surf, snorkel, play volleyball or nap on your towel in comfort and style.

Apparently the island is basically flat for riding and lined with beaches filled with bike racks where you can surf, snorkel or just relax.

“Bikes buzz about with surfboards strapped to them, the pointed boards looking like heavily starched sails. Snorkels and flippers bounce around on cyclists’ backs and cycling fashion is more likely to be board shorts and bikinis than bibs and braces. Cycling here isn’t the poor-man’s option; it’s the transport of choice.”

Sounds like a terrific vacation spot that our customers here at Buy-Board-Shorts.com would totally enjoy!
