Here’s the list of swimwear a guy can wear on the beach in descending order of acceptability: Boardshorts, lined swim trunks, regular shorts because you forgot your bathing suit, speedos, speedo thongs (yeah they exist). After stumbling upon this new offering from Quicksilver we may have to bump regular boardshorts to number two and add customized boardshorts to the top tier of ultimate beachwear (assuming you don’t customize yours to look like a speedo thong). Pick out the design and color on each pant leg, the waistband, the drawcord and much more and add a bit of personal identity to your surf gear. Take them anywhere from simple matching colors up to “Yeah, I Designed ‘Em While I Was Drunk” levels.
