As a daily swimmer I like the effective, no nonsense, quick on/quick off workmanship that has gone into their design.

My son, who is a Brazillian Capoeira martial arts student likes them too, because they allow for freedom of movement as he practises in our backyard. And his friend Geoff (who I always call Gee-off, because we already have two other Jeffs) borrowed my son's once to test out as MMA fight shorts when he had forgotten his own. He lost, but the boardshorts stood the test with their triple stitched stress points.

So, you could say this is an all-around guys board short for the active kind. Naturally, it comes without a mesh, so you're free to dangle all you have dangling or wear the undergarment of your choice.

Your choice, dude. We're all for freedom, like most North Shore locals...
