Freestyle Board Shorts

When you want to try all manner of wicked and wild moves on the surfboard, you need a good pair of freestyle board shorts to let you do whatever you want while feeling completely unencumbered. And of course, you need them to look as stylish as your moves!

Choose the right shorts to make your moves.

Since you need to be able to move well and feel confident when working freestyle, you want to be serious about the shorts you wear. This is not a time to go looking for cheap board shorts, although there's nothing wrong with finding a discount.

Your best bet is to go to an actual surf shop and get help from the sales assistants. Unlike in most swim shops, the sales help here tend to be surfers themselves and know what the best shorts are for your needs and, crucially, your body type. Even experienced surfers can sometimes pick the wrong short for a particular need.

When you are working freestyle, length and fit count almost as much as when you are looking for a wetsuit. A good salesperson at a surf shop will spend time with you, measuring and trying on shorts until you have the pair that will do the trick.

If you work freestyle, you are probably surfing regularly. So you know that opting for the best quality shorts will save you money in the long run because that's what holds up to hard activity and lasts. Some eco-friendly shorts not only help save the planet, but perform even better. They are worth spending a bit extra.

Although Carve Designs freestyle board shorts are made of polyester and thus not eco-friendly, they are a well-considered short, especially for women. They have a 10-inch inseam, that ensures you keep covered, and the lightweight fabric dries quickly, maintaining comfort throughout the day.

Users find these shorts sexy, even though they are on the longer side, and have found that they can run a bit big. They also note that you will need to wear a bikini bottom (which you probably do in any case) because the shorts are not lined. They come in a few color combinations with a patterned waistband and plain leg.

If you are searching online for freestyle board shorts, the Carve women's shorts are your only option. Or rather, they are the only shorts that specify they are designed for freestyle work. This is why it is important to do your shopping in an actual surf shop where you can have help and try something on. A really good surf shop will even have some space for you to try out some moves in the shorts so you can better assess their suitability for your needs.

If you just want high-quality shorts that allow for maximum movement even though they weren't specifically designed for freestyle work, consider Quiksilver's eco board shorts. Serious surfers know that Quiksilver is one of the best brands out there already, and now that they've joined with the Surfrider Foundation to make 100% organic cotton shorts that are comfortable and breathable, they are even better.

A portion of each sale goes to helping the foundation in its work to protect and promote the world's beaches so that they might be enjoyed for years to come. The eco-friendly shorts are called Slightly Choppy, and while for now they are a special edition, it's hoped that they will be so popular that they will become a regular part of the collection.

If your favorite brand of board shorts doesn't have an eco-friendly option, you should contact the manufacturer and ask that they consider it. Surfing is still a community sport and the designers want to keep users happy. Besides, no one knows more about the importance of maintaining the oceans than surfers!
