Birdwell Beach Britches- best board shorts?
All:
I’m looking for some board shorts/SUP shorts that will last more than a couple of years. I hear good things about Birdwell. Any other recommendations? Cheers, Paul.

G'day!

Birdwell's are just fine.
Also Quicksilvers, Rip Curl, and there are more. I don't think any one of them is better than the other. Should be able to get more than a couple years from any of those.

I don't doubt their quality, but$80/pair is pretty steep.

I've used Birdwell's since I was a little surfer kid.....yes, they're expensive, but the quality is there.

Birdwell is classic and the original, but price is a little steep these days.

I have some friends who worked on "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" and Brad Pitt bought the whole crew these jackets. Very well made...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ordered a pair of Birdwells to see how they are. Love the jacket, Craigster.
