My favorite part about boardshorts is that they can double as walking shorts. Throw them on with a t shirt or tank top and you are ready to run errands or go to a friends whether or not you are planning to get wet.
A lot of times they are more comfortable than regular shorts because they are often made from stretch fabric. I suggest you buy 2-3 pairs of board shorts for summer to use both for surfing and for regular day to day use. Then again this could just be another way I justify buying way to many pairs of boardshorts every summer.
