What happened to built in underwear?

My board shorts ripped yesterday all the way up to the waistline. I went to find some knew board shorts at the mall today but could not find any with the built in underwear. I know all us guys hated it when all the trunks had them but now that none of the trunks have them I miss it. I have another pair of shorts without the underwear but I dont like them as much as the old school. Wearing boxers underneath makes you wet for the ride home. Anyways just miss the old built in stuff.

Man, I hated those things. Come to think of it, I think I have a couple pairs my Mom bought me for my B-Day last year (never been worn). I can send them your way, if you like.

i liked the netting! i have been tempted to wear the old banana sling to prevent injury. the netting dried out alot quicker than whitey tightys. Some extra support is a good thing. A little swamp-ass is alot better than a ball-breaker.

Bring back the net!

Shawn, what size? I'll take them.

You wear underwear under your boardshorts? Those mesh things in the old shorts were like wearing nothing anyway. Go with out! LOL!

I may just wear my old Speedo under my cut-offs. You CAN have your cake and eat it too. I rule, again.

"swamp-ass"
I thought I was the only one saying that! HAHA

The netting went out with the elastic waist band. I hate those. I picked up a couple pairs from costco and couldn't stand them.

Luke, what size is you waist? I'll send you the ones I have. Think I tried them on once and threw then back in the drawer.

Get a speedo and where it underneath the shorts, good for support, drys fast etc. Still uncomfortable though.

reddog25cf 08-06-2004, 12:26 PM

Swamp-ass.... I haven't heard that in awhile due to the fact that we just call it swass. Or if you got some really raunchy farts, we used to call it hot ass, which turned to Hass... Eh, just a random thought from the guy back here in the peanut gallery.

I think they are like 32's or 33's. If you want them I'll hook it up.

dbogart 08-06-2004, 12:41 PM

check out some lame store like macy's, jcpennys, jcrew.......the linered shorts are still out there..................

I went to buy shorts for my nephew a couple of weeks back and that was all I could find was those damn board shorts with elastic waistbands and freaking liners... all the stores at the mall... kohl's, penneys', old navy, christ even target

(pureblue) · (pureblue) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 08-06-2004, 1:17 PM

Dude whoever has board shorts with the netting stuff and dont want them just send em to me. I wear between a 32-34 depending on the fit. Do we have PM's on here?

cheeseinaz 08-06-2004, 1:36 PM

Under Armor boxer briefs work good under board shorts...gotta protect big jimmy and the twins!

I second the Under Armor

Good post. I don't like my boys being that free either. It is hard to find shorts with the netting.

steve_chavez 08-06-2004, 2:52 PM

under armor is the only way to go

(malibuboarder75)

goodtimes - "its hard to find shorts with the netting"

That is so untrue...if you buy the $65 billabong, jet pilot, and fox boards shorts you do. But if you go to walmart and buy the $10 shorts like me, its really hard to find the ones without netting. The ones with netting have the best graphics but i hate that itchy net.

kryft 08-06-2004, 3:14 PM

Yeah, the net sucks. I always cut them out of the shorts.

(goodtimes) · (goodtimes) **Join Date: Sep 2003** 08-06-2004, 3:32 PM

Maybe I'm looking for shorts at the wrong time of year. That could be part of the problem. When I need shorts, it's usually at the end of the year. Then everyone's sold out already.
Walmart ones are a good price but they seem to be fairly ugly colors. Probably picked over already. I'm guessing the selection isn't as good to begin with at Walmart here in Canada as in the US.

(malibuboarder75)

yea, i buy the walmart brand that are simple colors like grey with a blue stripe down the side. Some of the stuff tries to imitate the big name brands and looks like crap. They have like dragons, flames, and chinese lettering...looks like crap.

buy a speedo and wear it under your boardshorts...i started doing this after the wind blew up my shorts leg and gave the whole front of the boat a nice peek at the family jewels!!!

Try going to the discount stores...won't be name brands like Fox or so on...but net will be included..try, Pac Sun, Khols, so on..

(pureblue) · (pureblue) **Join Date: Jun 2002** 08-07-2004, 9:03 AM

I went to Pac Sun yesterday and they said they have shipped all their suits out already. They had jeans and looked all geared for fall already. Stupid retail leads into the seasons so soon.

Man, i hated them so much that i cut them out of a pair of shorts. Sounds a little cheap... lol...but slap a pair of boxers under and its much better now.

jonnyrotten79 08-08-2004, 7:03 PM

when i wear boxers under my boardshorts it stays wet like all day and then when i sported the nets man i had mad chaffing and now i stick to name brands so now i just where regular boardshorts with my under armor and it always works for me

(jman) · (jman) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 08-08-2004, 7:14 PM

Has anyone worn the Jet Pilot Crown Jewel boardshorts with the inner neoprene?

moomman 08-09-2004, 10:10 AM

Try these if your looking for speedos. The training suits have more room and double layers.

Old Navy had some board shorts with liners earlier this year. They might also be on clearance for Fall so check that section.
