my search for boardshorts was getting me huhu. i stopped wearing bikinis about four years ago, but the one piece is not comfortable even when they are sized "tall". then finally, someone got smart and started making boardshorts for girls. but tiny girls. ugh. i had no luck finding normal or average sizes even when searching online. none at all.on my first holiday to hawai'i, i was certain to find boardshorts in a local surf shop so no worries, right? that was what i thought. i was running into the same issue over there...like sizes 0 - 9! GMAFB [if you are a 0, your ass shouldn't be in boardshorts anyway. go get you something to eat and put some normal weight on.] so like don't they get it that the healthy girls don't always want their butts hanging out? well, after hitting up every surf shop on waikiki and over on the north shore, i was pretty frustrated. if roxy can make t-shirts and hoodies in my size...why not boardshorts?
so i started talking to the local girls working in the shops in hale'iva, because let's face it, hawai'ian sisters are healthy girls. i'm like, "sister, what is up with these tiny little sizes in the stores? hawai'ian women are healthy...where do you local girls get your boardshorts? i see the surfer girls have them, so i know someone is selling them."
this is what they all told me...the surf shops are primarily owned by chinese who don't even consider women bigger than them when ordering clothing for their stores. for them the shorts are fashion so they don't consider the sizes of the girls out there who are actually working the waves, right? that's just crazy. the exciting thing was that i did find out where healthy local girls get their board shorts...the aloha bowl swap meet! that place is not to be missed for one thing because everything you could possibly want is there!so i was huhu no more when i found my shorts! i just love them and bought a few in different colors, too! boardshorts are the best alternative to bikini bottoms. trust me.
