Can these be used as surf shorts instead of board shorts?

Good question. This is basically a lycra bottom, and yes you could wear instead of boardshorts. However, it's more or less like wearing some underarmour underwear. I wear this under my wetsuit and boardshorts to prevent chaffing, and it allows me to take off my boardshorts or wetsuit at the shower w/o going buck naked. I personally wouldn't wear them alone for surfing, but you could, if you it's your style.

I wore these under my board shorts for surfing. I guess you could just wear them solo but it would have been too revealing for me.

I think they would. We use them for sand volleyball and when the sand is moist it gets packed and hard. Even in intense playing my husband's feet are always perfect. The material on the bottom of the sock I think, would keep your feet protected from the pool.

I would say no. The material that they are made of wouldn't do well in water.

Yes you can but its harder to steer then a regular surf or paddle board because its weight. Pretty much if you can ride any wave that you could ride on a longboard.

Yes, of course they can be used for deep water walking, but make sure your head remains above this 'deep water'....... :D

I don't see why you couldn't. I bought them for my daughter for volleyball, but they would not be see through and would dry quickly.

As long as your surfboard has the same setup for the Fin box......they will fit.

They're huge, so if you get thick riser pads then yes. But if not, look forward to the wheels touching the board and not being able to move. If you get a drop through longboard, you wont have to worry about this

Peter, as long as the bag is intended for an 8 foot board, it should be okay. I would contact the guys at Curve, and ask them first, if you are feeling uncertain about this though. Contact the seller here on Amazon or Curve also has a web site. The company is run by surfers, not suits, so feel comfortable asking them real surfer questions! I own two of their bags and am happy with 'em both.

Yes, you can secure surf board. The adjustable rubber saddles are great at holding the kayaks in place. Wish you well, Merry Christmas and God bless

I don't see why not. I've only used them for snowboarding, but it think it was meant for like dirt bike riding lol. I would use them in hot areas. I don't see how it would damage it

I would not recommend these for playing Beach Volleyball. These Socks are a great product, but are basically made to wear when using fins. They make getting your foot in and out of the fins a breeze! For Beach Volleyball, I would recommend a water shoe with a harder sole.

I'm not a windsurfer. I think these would work. They fit like a snug sock and the sole is thinner than a regular shoe, with grippy texture. You still feel what you are walking on, kind of like a moccasin

Yes but the material used is long lasting; unlike some other brands where the Velcro hooks come unbent and the soft material becomes fluffy. Has not happened to these shorts. I have three pairs and they get used a lot!

I've used them with full fins and open fins with no problem, but would rather use diving boots for open fins. They get a bit loose after a few uses, but still work well as socks for full fins. If you use them without fins they're not that great because they flood easily.

No, for that you might want to try light weight Smartwool socks. These are for hot weather, they are very thin.
