We stock this short from a 28 waist to a 60, which means the guy who paddles out every morning and the guy who takes a 56 and has given up looking are buying the same short. The 21\" length sits above the knee on most men — long enough to skate in, short enough that it isn't dragging when you come out of the water.\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, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInseam \/ length\u003c\/strong\u003e — 21\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e — Charcoal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric\u003c\/strong\u003e — 90% polyester \/ 10% spandex, 8-way stretch (\"Octo Stretch\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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\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 waist sizes, take the smaller one — and plenty of customers who wear a 34 jean are comfortable in a 32 here. The tie front with grommets gives you real adjustment either way, so a half-inch of guesswork isn't fatal. Low rise means the waistband sits below the navel; if you prefer a short that sits at the natural waist, this isn't that cut. The 8-way stretch is the practical difference — the fabric gives across the leg as well as around, so it doesn't bind when you're squatting on a board or scrambling over rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWear It For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurfing, swimming, kayaking, skateboarding and beach volleyball — this is a working waterman's short, not a poolside short. The smooth 3-needle inseams matter if you're sitting on a board for hours; that's where cheap shorts chew up the inside of your legs. The charcoal also passes for street shorts on the way to lunch, which is more than you can say for most trunks.\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 spandex, not the wash. Cold machine wash, hang to dry. Keep them out of a hot dryer and the stretch stays honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Shop MauiShirts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e28 years selling from our Maui showroom — we've been fitting board shorts since 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist 28 to 60 in one style, so big and tall isn't an afterthought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe'll 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.
