You see so many plaid boardshorts now that you just take it for granted that they have always been there - in fact, it is the Hurley Men's Puerto Rico Boardshorts which started the plaid revolution. This is a core basic style from Hurley and they do a great job of introducing new colors every season. Puerto Rico is made from an all-over printed supersuede which dries quickly. It has a lycra-lined superfly (another Hurley innovation) with a very useful cargo pocket.
