I bought these after trying surfing for the first time, an experience that made me realize that long board shorts actually have a use besides excess modesty. Unfortunately, I haven't had another chance to surf yet but I used them to wear on a kayak/hike/snorkeling excursion on a cruise. They were great for that because I didni't have to change: could wear them on the van trip, in the kayak, on the hike, and in the water. By the time we were ready for the van ride back,they were dry. The material feels awesome: very supple, lightweight, quick-drying and really moves with you. My waist size is anywhere between 30 & 32, depending on the garment, and I tried 29, 30 & 31 in these before settling on 30. The waist feels very secure, certainly a plus for surfing, and they can be worn low if you like that look. While it looks like this model will be discontinued, it's worth looking for the fabric in other O'Neill models. Can't really go with a 5-star until I try them for surfing though.
