Few surf shorts epitomize summer better than Patagonia's Wavefarer Board Short, but no other surf short surpasses it in practical comfort. Unlike other designs that have not changed anything (except possibly the patterns) since Frankie and Annette, Patagonia's Wavefarer Board Short gets it all right with an innovative forward inseam around the crotch that keeps sand and surf grit in its place of origin. The angled drawstring waist also has an internal hook-and-loop closure for confidence-inspiring redundancy any guy can appreciate after big dunks. Whether your summer is endless or a timeshare week, Patagonia's Wavefarer Board Short is your best choice for the beach. If you're looking for a whitewater rafting short with a lighter fabric and a slightly shorter inseam, Patagonia's Baggies Short will fit your needs.
