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. 

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!

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.

The 8th Annual Surfing Arts, Science and Issues Conference is coming to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California February 28 and March 1, 2009.

This year’s conference is all about efforts to try and take the guesswork out of making better waves and better surfing equipment. Of course, everyone has a different take on what makes a good wave – and evaluating surfboard performance can often lead to opinions that are little more than ‘psychosomatic’ (Steve Pezman, 2000). However, with some outstanding engineers and clear-thinking surfers on the agenda, as well as a first-ever fin ‘turbulence’ project at the Scripps Hydraulic Laboratory, SASIC 8 promises to be an event unique in the history of surfers trying to create waves and equipment to match their dreams.

We know our customers like to swim, surf and snorkel in our board shorts but please, we beg you, leave the plastic bags at home! It one takes a split second for a bag to blow off your towel and into the water, creating a deadly treat for marine wildlife.

Also a reminder that you can also wear a rash guard shirt while you’re in the water for your SPF protection and forgo the sunscreen. This way you and the coral reefs will be exposed to less of the harmful chemicals they contain, along with the plastic bottles they’re packaged in.

Look who’s wearing some men’s board shorts! Yep, President Obama was photographed on his recent trip to Hawaii over Christmas wearing nothing but surf trunks.

It’s a known fact he’s an avid body surfer so we’re sure he practically lives in swim trunks while he’s back at his childhood stomping grounds on Oahu in Hawaii.

So, don’t worry that you have to be a surfer to wear boardshorts – they look great on just about everybody no matter what you’re doing.

If part of your wish for a happy and healthy New Year includes getting in shape and spending more time in the sun, surf, sand and water than we just know you’re gonna need a few pairs of our stylish, comfy and inexpensive board shorts. 

With boardshorts styles and cuts for men, women and kids we can outfit your entire family in swim shorts this entire year!

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!
