So far so good

Only used a couple times in an indoor pool, but they fit well, look ok, and dry quickly. Also appreciate the option of multiple, coordinating tops.

Love the board shorts I ordered!

The Picasso Bloom board shorts are great! The fit is flattering and the design is funky and colorful. These board shorts are practical because I can swim, sail, paddle board and then wear them out to dinner! They pack light too!

Wonderful Board Shorts

I love these things. I have 4 different pairs now. They are great for the water but I also wear them as just shorts. I get many compliments and questions as to where I bought them. Keep the patterns coming!

FAB FIT SHORTS

I love the fit and feel of these shorts! They move with me as I do beach patrol or work the educational outreach and the length is just right for me. I've never been a shortie shorts girl, so THANK YOU for making shorts that cover legs nicely. And bonus: they match our team shirts, navy and teal!

This pattern is really outside my comfort zone, but I am so glad I got them. They are fun and so comfy. And I love how I can coordinate many tops with them. And I also like that I could buy tops to match at UV Skins. I have tried other similar companies and they put out items that you can’t coordinate and mix and match several outfits because of lack of thought or out of inventory.
