boardshorts
Where it comes from
From board + shorts.
noun boardshort · board shorts
-
A style of typically knee-length lightweight shorts worn generally by males as swimwear and for surfing.
But the appeal of the label — now sold at surf shops in 19 states and 12 countries — is that its black boardshorts and no-frills logos both bypass the sport’s floral sartorial clichés and also, for those in the know, summon up a hard-core, roots surfer image of riders like those Da Hui underwrites.
