Board Shorts Come In Many Varieties
by Phoenix Delray
Board shorts are designed to to be used in various watersport activities and to be quick drying. They are generally made from smooth nylon or polyester material and are durable and hold up to wear from contact with a surfboard yet are comfortable and light weight. Board shorts do not have an elastic waist like many swim shorts do; instead they have a more rigid waistband which opens at the front, often with a velcro fly. The waistband is also held together at the front with a lace up tie. This double fail safe system is in order to ensure that the shorts cannot be pulled off the body by the force of the wave when a surfer is tumbled under water during a wipeout. Another common feature of authentic surfing board short design is a very small pocket sealed with velcro and vented with a grommet. This is designed to be a secure place to carry a car key or house key while in the water.
Board shorts are normally longer than some shorts or form fitting speedo styles of swimwear and sometimes they have a baggy appearance. Board shorts are longer than normal shorts for one major reason: surfboards are covered with a layer of sticky wax, which allows the surfer to stand on the board without slipping off. However, this wax can rip leg hair off the surfer when he is sitting on the board waiting for waves. Long board shorts cover the back of the leg when sitting on the board, preventing the wax from ripping at the leg hair. The length of board shorts is also affected according to fashion trends; ranging from old school mid thigh to below the knee, to covering the entire knee. They often sit low in the back, exposing the top of the buttocks. Many designs use vibrant color, Hawaiian floral images and highlighted stitching; however not all board shorts have these features.
To go along with the beachwear, sunglasses are one of the most important clothing accessories you can possess. Simply put, not only do they help protect your eyes, like blocking out harmful UV rays, but more importantly, they say a lot about you as a person too. A persons idea of style may differ, so whether you like metal frames or opt for plastic ones, youre sure to find the eyewear that best flatters your face. Dont forget your sunglass accessories such as floater straps, micro fiber soft cases or hard cases, micro fiber cleaning cloths or sunglass visor clips.
So, when youre out at the beach wearing your favorite pair of board shorts, dont forget to protect your eyes with your favorite pair of sunglasses, too. And, if you happen to be wearing one of the many sports watches available, make sure its water resistant and then have fun in the sun!
