A male bathing suit that resembles a pair of shorts. The main diffrence is that the inside netting has been taken away so you have to wear boxers underneath. Because of this, you can wear board shorts of long periods of time without swimming in them like shorts and they won't be uncomfertable. Board shorts were invented for surfers who would spend alot of time on the beach without getting wet so their bathing suit would ride up and hurt like a bitch. Board shorts were made and named after the surfer's board
