Stretch Boardshorts With a Classic Checkerboard Stripe

The Carve Checkmate Boardshorts are made for easy days in and out of the water. The polyester and spandex fabric has a comfortable stretch that moves with you, whether you're paddling out, swimming with the kids or walking back up the beach. A fitted waist with front tabs and a drawcord helps them stay put, while a stretchy gusset at the fly adds extra comfort. The scoop leg, 19" outleg and bold black and white checkerboard side panels finish them off with a classic surf look.
