Because you don't just surf in your boardies, we made our Paddler Board Shorts comfortable enough to wear on a beach run and tough enough to survive a two-wave hold-down. They have a lightweight nylon outer fabric with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and a smooth, loose-hanging recycled polyester liner. Reversed-out hem seams glide freely over skin, and the trunks have our flat-lying, heavy-duty webbing in the lace-up, rubber-button fly. The self-draining hip pocket has a key loop and a corrosion-proof plastic zipper pull. Inseam is 9"; outseam (size 32), 19".
