We all know the biggest fashion statement you make on the water comes down to what shorts you’re rocking. Fashion aside, a comfortable pair of shorts makes a huge difference in terms of mobility and performance when you’re on the water. Everyone has their sweet spot when it comes to boardshort length, so we highly recommend trying on a few different pairs and finding that perfect length you love. For future reference, always remember what the outseam measurement is! That way you’re always dialed in and ready to make a purchase if you see some shorts you’re into.
