The first is the guy who's in and out of the water all day and wants one pair that handles surf, a kayak paddle and an afternoon of beach volleyball without binding at the thigh. The second is the guy who's been told for years that board shorts stop at a 38 — this pattern runs to a 58. Same shorts, same 8-way stretch, just cut further up the size run.\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, 46, 48, 50, 54, 58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutseam\u003c\/strong\u003e — 20\", solid with waistband embroidery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e — Black, Charcoal, Dark Teal, Teal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 90% polyester \/ 10% spandex, 8-way Octo Stretch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — drawstring tie front with four HIC grommets, Lycra fly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePocket\u003c\/strong\u003e — flap pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3-needle smooth inseams, logo patches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRise\u003c\/strong\u003e — low-rise surfer style\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 for most people.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you're between two waist sizes, take the smaller one — and plenty of customers go down a full size from their jeans waist. The drawstring does real work here, so a slightly snug pick is safer than a loose one. The rise sits low in the surfer tradition, so if you prefer shorts up at the natural waist, this isn't that cut. At 20\" the outseam lands mid-thigh to just above the knee on most men, short enough to paddle in and long enough not to ride up when you're sitting on a board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurfing, swimming, kayaking, skateboarding and beach volleyball — the 8-way stretch is the reason. Most board shorts use 4-way stretch fabric; this moves in eight directions, so it gives when you're duck-diving or dropping into a squat instead of pulling at the seams. The 3-needle inseams are the part that matters after a hundred sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the salt and chlorine out after every session — that's what kills stretch fabric, not the washing machine. Cold wash, hang to dry. Skip the dryer and skip fabric softener; both flatten the spandex over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years of selling from a Maui showroom, since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig \u0026amp; tall waist sizes carried up to 58 in the same short, not a separate lesser version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe tell you 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.
