Also, board shorts don't have flex panels, or grip crotches, or split seams or anything. I prefer boardshorts because they are usually slightly heavier in weight and better quality, with none of the elastic waistband crap. Can't stand elastic waitbands and huge velcro closure systems, which are totally unnecessary.
You forgot about Nogi.
Welcome to Nōgi Industries

Marte: try out the Nogi shorts, they're not pink, they stretch, no split seams or any dumb stuff. They come in a 28 and fit about like a 28. Lightweight and they last; I've had mine around 3 years, best you can get from America.
