In the world of faux bois, there is always room for another product to sink your teeth into. There’s something about this knotty pattern that makes kitsch enthusiasts wild, even when wrapped on something as mundane as a toaster or hairdryer.
Ahoy Surf’s latest boardshort adaptation is done well, especially with a shorter, 1960’s hem. The fitting style name, “Trunk,” also adds to its charm.
Anyone already looking forward to summer should grab a pair of these now. It’s possible you may be my dream man as a lumberjack-surfer hybrid.
