Can someone help me with buying boardshorts?

Question

I am buying some boardshorts for a friend of mine for his birthday. He is a serious competitive surfer and I want to get him a nice brand. Can someone tell me the best brands to look at? How much is too much and/or little to spend...just so I know I got the best pair, but not ripped off.

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Some good brands:

Quiksilver, O'neill, Rusty, Billabong, Hurley, Lost, etc.

You can expect to pay anywhere from $40 to $60 for a good pair of boardshorts.  Now is usually a good time to find sales though (in the US anyway) because surfwear is not in season.

Answer 3

the first person pretty much said it, just one thing,

be careful when buying something predominently white, look at the material or ask someone to avoid what i did, bought ones that go see-through when wet
