Using these boardshorts is a breeze. Just slip them on and you're ready for a day at the beach or a surf session. When you're done with your water activities, the quick - dry technology will have them dry in no time. As for care, you can machine - wash them in cold water with like colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they might damage the water - repellent treatment. Hang them to dry instead of using a dryer to preserve the fabric's stretch and quality. And always check the pockets before washing to make sure there's nothing inside that could get damaged or cause problems in the machine.
