Love the quality and length!
I loved the pattern and the stretch of these board shorts, but they just were not as flattering as I hoped. Surprisingly, when I look at these photos now, they look better than they looked in person in the mirror. I was on the fence but in the end I decided to return them. The main issue is that the legs being wider than necessary for me make me look a lot heavier than I am. I run into this problem a lot and it may be because I am short and my legs are not overly large. Currently I am about 127 lbs and 5'2" and I ordered a size 6. I don't think I could have comfortably gone smaller than that. If the price point were a little lower I may have kept these, but I decided to order another pair of an alternate brand that was a bit shorter and had less excess leg fabric. The colors were boring compared to these, but I felt better about myself. Through the years I have put on some extra weight, but being short, I can't afford to have ill fitting clothing make me look 10 lbs heavier than I am!
These fit perfect. I thought I may end up looking like a L word but they are cut. size is on target. I got a small 6 I’m 5,0” and weigh 125. Well made and color is beautiful
is very confortable thanks
My wife really liked her clothes
I have replaced several of my shirts with the 9" boardshorts & i love them. For a year I have been trying to buy the camo bordshorts but they are always available on wrong size. Shorts don't wrinkle, are comfortable, smart design. & cool.
Maui Rippers is a great company. I love their classic boardshorts and own several pairs. They work well for pool sports like water aerobics.
Perfect fit, true to size. Bought a second pair.
Great quality and fit
Great fit and length. Love the feel of light weight fabric and for quick dry. Very comfy.
Classic board short. Fits my 67 year old body perfectly. Love the fit and length of the shorts.
I love these shorts. They are very comfortable and have a flattering cut. But also, the company has an outstanding customer service. My first pair came with a small manufacturing defect, but I was traveling abroad and did not have time to wait for an exchange and needed the shorts. They sent me a new pair anyways even though I couldn’t return the used previous one.
I’ll definitely be buying from this company again and highly recommend it.
Okay so I’m a 67 year old woman who bought these board shorts to swim in. I absolutely love them! They fit my body (5’3”, 135 lbs)body. Comfortable and love the pocket.
Love these shorts! They fit great, light weight and are the perfect length.
Great fit and flattering - a good buy!
My favorite shorts to wear of all time and work so well when swimming too!
Lovely shorts, I love the shape of the waist to hip ratio. Wish they had them 2 inches lower to the knee I would buy 10 of those.😂
I ordered the 9" but received the 6" - I do not want to have to ship them back and deal with all of that so I will gift these to my daughter as I do not like shorts this short.
Nice!
Wish that they were a little more stretchy for women who have hips.
Fits ok, material is a bit thinner than expected and just the one side pocket and inner single key pocket. I like the Velcro and string tie in the front. Good for a longer women’s short.
I love these boards shorts!
I especially like the opaque, quick-dry fabric and the pocket. They don't bind in the water and they are comfortable for walking on land. All of that and a pretty pattern. I highly recommend these board sorts. Sizing chart is accurate
It's hard to find high quality women's boardshorts, especially in longer lengths. These are made of fabric that is tough and durable but has some nice stretch and drape. I am very happy with them.
Great relaxed fit, good length snd room to move
Great designs great fit.
Just out the package. They look great
They’re great. I love them.
Love these basic black boardshorts which are comfortable and great for swimming and lounging on the beach.
