dudes & dutettes-your mission,should you choose to accep

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

is to find me a decent pair of boardshorts that arent too expensive, with elastic/drawstring waist and not velcro.

I reallyreallyreally lurrrrve my red 'uns with animal stamped across the arse but could do with another pair or two...

Im quite like the abercrombie & fitch ones with hooge blue flowers

[CheeZee]

hmmm an interesting mission .. i like my 'splits' cause of the "they dry super quick" material their made out of but i know the designs are not everyones cup of tea ..

animal have a new range out this summer but depends if you like the classic looks and materials or summat a bit louder and made from newer'rer type materials ... hmm ... an interesting mission indeed

In the tradition of the cheapskate Aussie.

I just go after the cheapest pair of decent material, string tie, triple stitched.

Damn things are everywhere over here. Like AU$2-AU$5 for really decent quality in an Opp Shop. I guess there's an upside to the surf fashion explosion.

And then just wear a decent lycra bike short underneath if you aren't wearing a wettie. Around AU$25 for them.

Definatley the last ones for me.

I really dont like surfing in boardies though, they just get in my way, short ones are better for me, i've got sme really nice roxy drawstring short boardies and a gorgeous pair of turquoise billabong ones that have a zip and button at the side which is really comfy, mind you they also have sequins up one side sp not necessarily that practical - better for post surf parties.

I usually (when its warm enough!) surf in bikini bottoms and a rashie but then you have "the wedgy" issue. I cant count the number of times i've popped up and have to make quick decision as to whether to pretend to wipe out or keep surfing with my ass cheeks visible to the entire line up .

hmmmm yes...... had considered that after ast weekend :oops: :oops:

U-huh. A must if you are going for long sessions in just boardies.

As for the piccies... I have pretty broad tastes (i.e., I have the fashion sense of the average garden slug ;) so they all look fine to me. I'd probably go with the one with heavier cloth and stitching. Then start looking for stuff like build in combs, pocket seals, etc as a decider.

And if they are all still identical after that get all of them :D

I like these, although I do have an orange bias thing going on

[iomarti]

The design and colour of your rash vest is crucial in this predicament.

What is your rash vest / chosen top like? Then I will make a decision on the boardies

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

rash vest is blue, white and black - although could probably fork out for another .

[Dec]

I have a feeling I know why you don't like the pink one's?!

Something to do with puking up a nice pretty color!

[iomarti]

If you keep your rash vest then I reckon the blue shorts would be best.

And if you get a new one, then either of the other shorts would look very cute!

The surf shop is your oyster!!

[SDCali]

I'd go for the blue too, I'm not much of a pink gal, don't look good on me.

[IdRatherBeSurfing]

cheers all! im actually quite lovin the orange ones tho..... hmmmmm

The mind control tricks are working.

Repeat after me ''I love the orange ones, I will buy the orange ones, Orange is good''

[.Jen.]

woo it does work

[pat42]

Yeah...I've changed my mind to orange as well

That way when you do wee wee's in the water you wont notice it on the shorts

Good thinking whoever came up with orange

[.Jen.]

Pat if your pee is orange, no matter how funky it'd be, id suggest you nip off to your doctors pronto
