How to shrink boardshort?

I have a boardshort that is a little bit too big and I can't refund it or sale it. Any of you guys have a trick in laundry or shrinking size of cloth, pants and boardshort??

I'm sorry to say it, I think you're sol, as the material most boardshorts are made of won't shrink. You may take them to a tailor or try to take them in a bit at the waist on your own, if you do it right it will be barely noticable.

^^ x2 on the safety pin. Just prepare for a little rustage over time.
