With warm weather right around the corner, cold water surfers are trading in their full suits for shorties, and plenty of folks are gearing up to get beachgoing again. That means it's about time to start stocking up on your summer wardrobe. 

But before you head to the store to search for that new pair of beachcombing slippers or designer sun glasses, it's vital to pick up the perfect pair of boardies to have your back on all your aquatic adventures. 

After all, ask any experienced surfer and they'll tell you that having quality shorts is just as important as a quality board (as well as some comfy loungewear for those post-session naps). 

With that in mind, we've provided a helpful breakdown of all three men's outseam lengths we offer to help you find your best fit for this summer.
