Review on Hurley Board Shorts Cactus Heather Boys' Clothing by Gopal Baltimore

I like these shorts. My son wears a size 8-10 so I took the MEDIUM size 10 which is actually the 25 on the tag (this wasn't listed online). One review said they had an adjustable waist. They don't. It fell off so I ordered the next size down. 8. The size 8 I received was very short. I have size 8 Quiksliver and Billabong shorts which are much longer. I don't understand why the length was so short. So I had to send both back, which is a shame.
