Dear, California we feel your gloom. Each morning’s like a day as the white blob in a Zoloft ad. Like we can’t escape the dark cloud overhead. We wipe our windshields clean from the morning mist and ponder past rain. There was none.

Don’t be glum ol sport, good news is on its way. South swells and smooth seas will soon waltz to the heat of ultraviolet rays. And we’ll grab our brollies and coolers, shed the neoprene, unfold beach chairs, Bluetooth portable speakers and sip libations like it’s Sunday morning. 

In honour of the season, in the month of mist, each week, we’ll present a selection of boardshorts we like. Whether you prefer ’em riding high or just above the knee, we’ve got both. Style comes in many flavours, and this our jelly bean collection: 10 pairs of trunks that’ll complement any day at the beach.
