My 2nd pair of 5” Waikiki Boardshorts

I’m a little bit older lady (61) who rarely wears shorts anymore but I love these for my frequent trips to Hawaii. The full elastic waistband keeps them fitting comfortably. I swim in them all the time (with a swimsuit underneath) and have also worn them kayaking and hiking in the rain. Thumbs up! I posted a pic of my blue pair.

New favorite!

I actually ordered a different kind of board shorts same make but two colors. The blue ones fit ok and they were having stock issues with the black pair so I chose these as alternative. I think it was a blessing in disguise bc they fit, feel, and look great! While I was bummed to not get the black ones I originally wanted, I think these are actually a better choice. They’re more form fitting so be mindful of that. Oh yeah, customer service was wonderful! Recommend 10 out of 10, just wish they had more color options for this exact short!

(For reference - I am 5’3, lately 145lbs - maybe could’ve used a medium but ordered a small based on the fit of the other shorts I had ordered. Still the size small fit and look great, just a little snug!)
