i have another that i've bought since this photo was taken but it was closer to $100 with a few gift cards...
hmmm... this is also not bad for a shorter inseam option since they are trunks and not board shorts. i will show to hubby and see if he wants these also. i saw they made a baby bikini also but i'm not a fan of the quality and my daughter is too big for them now anyway.Quote:

I also have a few pairs of Quicksilver's and Billabong's that are probably 10 years old too. You get what you pay for. My only prerequisite for boardshort purchases is that they are double stitched and dry wikiwiki.

going to kauai next month, I might have to sport them
Where is the euro style?
it's still a bunch of cotton/polyester garbage made in china. i highly doubt quiksilver is "top of the line" by any means either... i have a distorted view of the world, obviously. i can see spending a bunch of money on a nice board but I don't think shorts are really... gear. i don't know what the hell i'm talking about though. I hate the ocean :) i've had 2 pairs of boardshorts for.. 10 years. don't think i spend more then $20 on both. don't even know where i got them or what brand they are. I also bought every piece of furniture in my house for under $200 total from thrift stores.. i guess i'm just cheap??Quote:

Hahaha nicely done. That certainly is an alternative. Elastic waistband boardshorts do scream "I'm from the mid-west/east coast and I've never been on a west coast beach."Quote:

And $60-70 for a pair, while pricey, is the norm for top of the line boardies.Quote:

If distorted view of the world you mean completely wrong on this particular topic, then yes, I'd totally agree. I really don't mean to come off like a dick but, well I probably did.
:( I see what you did there... heheheQuote:
