The hate for shorts over wetsuits seems like some people are bothered by not being able to see riders' asses and cocks ..😄😄🌈🌈🌈

Kiteboarding is the coolest sport in the world. Show your style, show your fashion. Not wearing boardshorts dimishes our Cool factor. Banana hammocks, and potatoe sacks definitely NOT COOL. My personal tips for boardshort designs and graphics:
Go for:
1. Anything with palm trees especially black silhouette against some kind of orange yellow sunset
2. Hibiscus flowers, chicks love the little femine touch
3. Lightning
4. Flames, any color
Avoid:
1. solid colours, walmart style
2. Heavy wet retaining material, go for light 4 way stretch

my question...
are boardshorts a prerequisite for the notorious board leash.... or is using a boardleash the actual entry drug before one goes full kook with the board shorts over wetsuit thing?
is it just purely conincidental that the "type" that dons boardshorts over wetsuit just happens to be the exactly the same as the type of kiter that attaches themselves to a board and refuses to learn to body drag.. (??)

Well I thought the topic was boardshorts - are we going to hijack this thread now with board leashes discussion

@elguapo No one wants to see your dick :)
You can attach yourself to a leash if you want to, though.

Board leashes will save you from loosing your board, and they look super cool too!

the next step after the shorts will be to move from these to these .. why do you want to cover your legs? tanning is also better for men. :oops: :oops:

^^ Exactly. If you don't use shorts when you put on the wet suit, why to use the shorts when you don't put on the wetsuit. Just go kiting on briefs / slips.

that is exactly it...
they don't. no one is looking.
because no one cares.

for the boardshort crew...do you guys also wear underwear when you shower at a gym?
...do you all refuse to use public urinals in restrooms?

i'm not judging... just curious. trying to understand this shyness thing.

absolutely.......
...until it kills you.

1) unbelievable still discussing why people don't show ass and cocks..there are many websites where you can possibly see them. on the beach I prefer to see those of the girls but tastes are tastes and I don't judge
2) if you use the leash with the helmet there are no big problems ... most use leash with surf in big waves nobody says anything
3) I prefer people who wear shorts to posers

Do I wear board shorts......

f*** no..... there is no way I am going to waste good kitesurfing time fretting about a pair of useless f***ing shorts..

I'm too busy putting on my silver flake paint helmet that was cool about 60 years ago..

No board shorts looks gay? Cool, I prefer to be confused with a gay guy than look like a douche bag homophobic paranoid guy wearing board shorts as armor for his insecure masculinity..

Hey June is Pride Month.. :thumb: :thumb:

If you wear board shorts just for the hell of it... that's cool....

it's amazing in 2021 people can't dress the way they want without being ranked or judged
