Wear boardshorts both under and over the wetsuit. Just in case. Also wear a bathing cap if you are kiting in a public river.

It was a bad fashion statement that will eventually go the way of bell bottoms, mullets, and beavertails.

I like em... for the same reason I don't wear spandex shorts for mountain biking. Also gives me a pocket to hold my gloves while I'm rigging in the winter. Cool

If your going to wear the board shorts you gotta throw on a tall t or jersey.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Forget the shorts. One less thing to dry out and better to have something dry to change into.

Plus you look like a twit.

All you haters (and liars).

Would you buy the same kite you have now if it only came in black or grey? Most probably not. Thats why whenever a new kite line or year is launced all we do is bitch about the graphics first, then we talk performance.

Board shorts over wetsuits is a way of livining up the color pattern. Most wetsuits are all black with a little color logo. I agree with the boardshorts plus a jersey. Its a good look. Dont care if my junk is out there. Usually after five minutes of kting you cant tell that I have any junk.

Are you kidding? Typically I don't even know or care what color kites I've bought until I pull one out of the bag to pump it up. Florida must be a very different place where style is more important than function?

I don't understand why this is such a angry debate. The answer is so simple. If you normally wear board shorts in the summer wear them over your suit. If you normally wear a speedo in the summer wear that over your suit. If you kite in the buff then don't wear nothing over your suit. Simple!
P.S. why do basketball players wear a black sleeve?
Loggers suspenders? Dreadlocks, bandannas, surfpants etc.....? STYLE!
