Boardshorts
Boardshorts, the king of crossover sports apparel and your own personal style statement, has been refreshed this year with more colors and less floral or plaid patterns. To mark this milestone, GSR will promote the surf clothing retailers on this page as a great source for the latest in boardshorts surf clothing.

Boardshorts can be worn by just about any sports enthusiasts including surfers, skateboarders and snowboarders. Even guys just wanting to wear something stylish to the beach can wear one of the latest boardshort styles.

In southern Cali, we're seeing not so much a shortening of the length for boardshorts but more a tightening of the fit so that they still hang on the hips but don't balloon out as much in the ass and legs. A tighter fit seems logical since most jeans being worn are a tighter fit too. (see: skinny-jeans article)

Boardshorts can also be called surf shorts, surf trunks, swim trunks, but the right word is boardshorts even though wikipedia and dictionary.com don't recognize boardshorts as a word but instead refers to spelling it as two words: board shorts. whatev's, if you know what's right you'll call your boardshorts whatever you want, we at GSR prefer boardshorts.

The king of boardshorts surf clothing manufacturers are Volcom, Hurley, Quicksilver, Billabong, Ambiguous, Analog, and most can be found by clicking on any of the ads on this page.

And no, you should never, ever wear anything under your boardshorts. That's the whole point of wearing shorts, to be comfortable and free.
