What would you rather have backing you up on your board? A no-name pair of swim trunks? Pssh — swim trunks are for kids and your Uncle Ned who wears socks with his flip flops. The beach is a war zone and you need a pair of boardshorts that can withstand a beating and come back asking for seconds. Quiksilver’s Combat Drop boardshorts come equipped with 4-way stretch fabric and a water-repellant treatment — both attributes that’ll serve you well when engaged with rival surfers over who’s top dog (or even dawg) of the surf n’ sand.
