O'NEILL HYPERFREAK

These are my go to shorts on any given day of surfing. I have 2 pairs of older Hyperfreaks, and just got these for this summer. I love these shorts. The Hyperfreak stretch fabric is light, smooth, and comfortable. Like all Hyperfreaks, these have no inseam, making them super comfortable without having to worry about any rashes or chaffing. The cut of the Hyperfreaks have remained the same for the past few years but the graphics change year to year. Last year was the year of the box graphic, 2012 seems to be the year of the cross hatch pattern. I like the bright red color because they're unique and stand out in a crowd. But there are other gray, blue, green patterns to choose from. These are a little cheaper than the Hyperfreak 2.0's, these retail for $69.

Pros: No inseam, dry fast, super stretchy, many color choices
Cons: None really, taller guys may find them a little too short, popular sizes and colors will sell out fast
