The 20\" outseam sits mid-thigh — long enough to paddle out without chafing, short enough that it doesn't drag when you pop up. Eight-way stretch instead of the usual four means the fabric gives with a twist as well as a bend, which is what you notice on a duck dive or a kayak stroke. Waist 28 through 44, so a father and a teenager can both get the same pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaist sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit note\u003c\/strong\u003e — runs large for most people\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutseam\u003c\/strong\u003e — 20\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e — low-rise surfer style, Lycra front rise taping inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — self-tie lace-up front with four HIC grommets, Lycra fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — side flap pocket with wax comb string attached inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 90% polyester \/ 10% spandex, 8-way Octo-Stretch, durable water repellent (DWR) coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — triple-needle stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint\u003c\/strong\u003e — allover engineered Polynesian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e — HIC, imported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow This Fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese run large.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you're a true 34 in jeans, take the 33 — and if you're between two numbers, take the smaller one. The lace-up front with grommets gives you real adjustment either way, so a half-size of slack cinches out. Low rise, so they sit below the navel rather than at the natural waist; if you prefer shorts up high, this is not that cut. The spandex content means they stretch on rather than pull on, which is why sizing down works here and wouldn't on a woven short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurfing, bodyboarding, kayaking, beach volleyball, skateboarding, and the long walk home wet. The DWR coating sheds water instead of soaking it, so they're back to dry weight fast — useful when you're driving somewhere afterwards. Plenty of customers also use them as their everyday summer short and never take them near a wave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the salt out after every session — that's what shortens the life of any board short, not the washing machine. Cold wash, hang to dry. Skip the dryer and skip fabric softener; both work against the water-repellent coating and the stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Hawaiian clothing from our Maui showroom since 1998 — 28 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist sizes 28 to 44 in one style, not a token big size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe flag it on the page when something runs large, before you order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping to anywhere in the USA and its territories — no minimum order.
