These are cute shorts that fit well. However, if you're looking for real board shorts for watersports (wakeboarding, jet skiing, etc), these are not a good choice. They have an elastic band in back and no drawstring, so might embarrassingly end up around your ankles during watersports. That said, they are fine for everyday wear and even as a substitute for swim bottoms if just playing around in the pool. Good value if not being purchased for athletics.See full review
