There was a thread about naked free-running. It was stupid.
I know HIpk train in board shorts a lot [I do 60%]. Then I realized that most mainland bathing suits are those junky things with elastic waists that barely stay on in 1-2' shore pound.
It didn't start out stupid, but like a lot of threads lately, it ended up that way.
Hello, my name is Frosty, and I am a "Mainland person". I have been a "Mainland person" for over 47 years, except for 10 days in Nov 2006.
Board shorts? Shore pound? I'm in Missouri, man, all we gotz is mud. (And a LOT of that at the moment!) Most of our trunks (bathing suits) do have some form of string in them, but it is usually fairly worthless. Things are different out there in HI. We can't go into Taco Bell without a shirt or shoes on here. Our Denny's all have glass in the windows. Out there you walk down the street and see dozens of people in really good shape. Here, it just isn't that way. The only people around here who arn't fat are 'some' of the contruction workers, and the few guys who are muscle heads. I'm not in the best shape, but I'm in sooo much better shape than most people my age here, that they all make fun of me when I say I need to lose some fat! (Because I'm skinnier than they are, and they are jealous.) When I was on Maui, I felt fat! But everyone was so friendly, it never bothered me at all.
So, do you mean wake boarding shorts? Or is it something else you are talking about? Gym shorts here barely stay on in a stiff breeze, so those don't work at all.
