Why Hybrid Shorts are Your Ultimate Beachwear Shorts

When it comes to enjoying for a day at the beach, versatility, comfort, and style are key.

That’s where hybrid shorts come in, the ultimate beachwear essential that combines the best features of traditional men's swim board shorts and casual walking shorts.

 Let’s talk about why these innovative shorts should be your go-to for any beach outing.

The Versatility of Hybrid Shorts

Hybrid board shorts are designed to seamlessly transition from water to land, making them incredibly versatile. Unlike traditional men's swim board shorts, which are typically created for water activities alone,

 hybrid shorts are crafted from quick-drying materials that are perfectly suited for swimming, sunbathing, and strolling along the boardwalk.

Crafted with Quick-Drying Fabric

One of the standout features of hybrid shorts is their quick-drying fabric. Made from advanced, lightweight materials, these shorts wick away moisture and dry rapidly, ensuring you stay comfortable throughout the day. 

You jump in the water anytime and still, you will feel dry. 

No matter if you’re taking a dip in the ocean or swimming in the pool, hybrid board shorts will always have you dry and ready for the next activity in no time.

Comfort and Fit for every man

Comfort is an important subject when it comes to choosing beachwear, and hybrid shorts are always important in this area.

They often come with a soft, flexible waistband that provides a secure and comfortable fit. You can wear a hybrid short all day long and still, you won’t get tired of it 

Because the use of stretchy fabric allows for a full range of motion, perfect for your comfort and health.

Built-in liners add additional support

Many hybrid board shorts feature built-in liners that offer additional support and comfort. These liners prevent chafing and provide a snug fit without being too tight.

They can always ensure that you can move freely no matter if you’re swimming, playing volleyball, or exploring the shoreline.

Stylish Designs and attractive 

While functionality is essential, style is equally important.

Hybrid shorts come in a variety of fashionable designs and colors that cater to all tastes. From bold, eye-catching patterns to classic, understated tones, there’s a pair of hybrid board shorts to match any style preference.

Flawless Transition

The beauty of hybrid shorts lies in their ability to transition seamlessly from the beach to casual settings.

Their stylish appearance means you can easily pair them with a t-shirt or polo and head straight to a beachside café or a casual dinner without needing to change.

This convenience makes them an excellent choice for beach vacations where packing light is a priority.

Pockets and Storage

Unlike many men's swim board shorts, which often lack adequate storage, hybrid shorts typically include multiple pockets. These pockets are perfect for carrying essentials like keys, wallets, and phones. Some designs even feature zippered pockets to keep your belongings secure while you’re on the move.

No matter if you're taking vacations on a beach or swimming in a pool you don’t have to worry about losing your essentials.

Hybrid shorts come with Strong Durability

Durability is another key factor that sets hybrid shorts apart. Made from high-quality materials, these shorts are built to withstand the rigors of both saltwater and chlorine, making them a long-lasting addition to your beachwear collection.

 Environmentally Friendly Options

For those who care about the environment, our brands offer hybrid board shorts made from sustainable materials. 

These eco-friendly materials reduce environmental impact without compromising on style or performance, always allow you to enjoy your beach day while supporting the environment.

At last, hybrid shorts are the ultimate beachwear shorts due to their unparalleled versatility, comfort, and style. They combine the best features of men's swimboard shorts and casual shorts, making them ideal for any beach-related activity. With quick-drying fabrics, comfortable fits, stylish designs, and practical features, hybrid board shorts offer everything you need for a perfect day by the water. So next time you’re planning a beach trip, make sure to pack a pair of hybrid shorts and experience the difference for yourself.

does konig deserve a sweet wife?? no!! am i going to give him one?? yes!! konig and husband soon

[ and i love her - kurt cobain cover ]

konig doesn’t deserve you, not really. he is undeserving of seeing you in a white gown, drenched in eyelet lace and pearls, walking down the aisle. he doesn’t even deserve to see you in a beat-up sweatshirt with his old boardshorts, curled up in bed. he is unworthy of the austrian treats you learned to make for him, so very eager to bring light to his face after weeks or months of deployment. 

well, that’s what people tell him. 

konig knows it is what he’s owed. he’s performed countless successful hostage rescue missions. numerous lives have been saved all thanks to him, so why should he not wake up to a warm body in a soft bed? it’s not arrogant!

you are all he’s ever wished for and more-- heaven dressed in flesh and blood. 

you are gentle with everything like anything could falter beneath your touch. as if; you couldn’t hurt a fly. you are not senselessly unkind, but not a pushover, he quickly learned. you do not challenge him, either passively agreeing or saying that you think otherwise politely. he can’t bring himself to make snarky remarks, not when you’re so… mild.

his chest puffs out whenever you’re in public together, taking pride in holding your hand at the grocery store or post office. he is the one who gets to hold your hand, the one who gets to wake up to you in the morning, your hair disheveled and clothes out of place. you don’t mind the little smirk he has-- you can’t help but laugh at the sight of his broad shoulders hanging back and head up, so confident to be by your side. you think it’s sweet. oh, if only you knew.

if his dear wife knew what he was like on the battlefield, what would you do? would you shut down and refuse to say a word to him until he begged enough? or would you not care at all, and say that his coworkers don’t know the real konig?

he hopes for the latter but knows in his heart that it is the former. you are not naive or unaware, but you certainly are squeamish and faint of heart. the thought of your husband slaughtering men like cattle and knowing that he is cocky while doing so would certainly disturb you for days to come. 

konig keeps that part of him tucked away, sheltering her from the macabre life he leads once he steps out of your warm home. he’s fine with doing so, as long as he can still come back and fall into the softness of your body and stuff his mouth with confectionaries.

Moments later, Bad Decision was throwing you up against the brick wall in the alley behind the bar. His kisses were sloppy, lacking the skill and finesse to which you had become accustomed, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he looked enough like Bucky… if you squinted really, really hard. 

“My name’s Brandon,” he huffed, pulling back from a slobbery kiss with too much tongue. “I don’t care,” you said, reaching down into his boardshorts. He was already hard as you pulled him out, giving him a few strokes before hiking up your skirt and tugging aside the gusset of your panties. You guided him to your entrance, and within seconds he was rutting into you with abandon. He wasn’t as big as Bucky, not even close. “God, you’re so tight,” he moaned as he thrusted, leaning in to kiss you again.

“Don’t talk.” It felt good, but it wasn’t getting you where you needed to go. You hiked a leg over his hip, hoping to get him deeper, but it seemed like the spot inside you that had you seeing fireworks was a spot that only Bucky could reach. You weren’t sure if it was because of his size, or because Bucky had come to know your body so well, but Bad Decision just didn’t have what it took.

“Fucks’ sake,” you grumbled as you shoved a hand down your skirt to work your clit. Were you going to have to do everything yourself? Why were men just so disappointing?

You closed your eyes and threw your head back, roughly bouncing it against the rough brick. You imagined an entirely different body pushing into you, different arms holding you up, one cold metal, one warm flesh as they dug bruises into your skin. It was working. You were getting close.

“Fuck, Bucky,” you moaned. Bad Decision faltered in his motions.

“What?” he asked. “Who the hell’s Bucky?”

Shit. “I didn’t say ‘Bucky,’” you lied. “I said ‘fuck me.’ I want you to fuck me like you mean it.” You weren’t sure if Bad Decision bought it, but his thrusting resumed with vigor, and soon you were hurtling over the edge in your orgasm. 

“I’m gonna cum,” Bad Decision moaned. Fuck. He wasn’t wearing a condom. 

“Pull out,” you demanded.

“What? I–”

You shoved at his chest. “I said pull out! I’m not letting you cum inside of me.”

You felt him slip free and you moved to put space between your bodies. Bad Decision stood there, cock standing free and ridiculous in the sea breeze, and looked at you expectantly.

“What?” you asked as you readjusted your clothing.

“Aren’t you gonna… you know? Take care of it?” He nodded down toward his lackluster cock. “I didn’t finish.”

You frowned. “That’s not my problem.”

Bad Decision’s features shifted into something angry. “What the fuck?” He grabbed your arm and yanked you toward him. “I got you off, return the fucking favor!” 

You wrenched your arm free from his grasp. “I got myself off,” you told him. “That–” you pointed to his cock, “was practically useless.”

Bad Decision’s face grew red. “You fucking bitch!” He grabbed your arm again, tighter this time. “You think you can be a little cocktease?! You’re gonna finish what you started!”

“Fine,” you conceded, and when he let you go, you reached down and grabbed his shaft. With every ounce of strength you possessed, you yanked on his dick, and you twisted. 

Bad Decision let out an agonizing wail as his knees buckled beneath him, his hands coming up to cover his crotch. “You fucking cunt!” he moaned as he assumed the fetal position on the concrete of the alley floor. “You’re gonna fucking pay for that!”

“Sure I will,” you muttered as you walked off, leaving him writing in pain. You were disgusted with yourself, yet felt oddly empowered. You wondered if Bucky had felt the same when he’d used you.

Bonjour!

I'm here on secret springs postcard ask duty.

I found a pool float for Max.

My question is: how does he manage a beach holiday? Does he even have the wardrobe for it? Tell me your headcanon.

Love, El

Hi wonderful El!

Oh man i accidentally got into my feels with this one.

so you KNOW prior to being turned, Max Phillips was a Spring Break Bum! He wore cut off tank tops that said "suns out, guns out" without an OUNCE of irony. He roller-bladed up and down the Santa Monica pier in boardshorts and literally nothing else, soaking up that tan that made men and women jealous. He once survived for the whole spring break on nothing but jello shots, go-gurt, and water from a lawn hose. he was THE spring break guy!

And then he turned and of course none of that was an option anymore.

Spring Break comes around again and he's never, you know, visibly sad, but you've definitely noticed drop off in the sarcastic comments, the lewd innuendos, the thinly-veiled death threats every year around this time. You hear from Andrew that it's not so much Spring Break itself that he misses, but merely the sun. Max Phillips has never been an indoor kitty and now he has to be whether he likes it or not.

So you rustle up the gang (the fang gang, as Max insists on calling it) and rent a villa in Cabo. It's not the sun, and it's not scantily-clad co-eds, but the gang gets drunk all the same and when you pull out THIS FLOATIE RIGHT HERE, max is already three sheets to the wind and you are convinced that you saw a little tear well up in the Big Bad's eyes.

He falls asleep on it and you have to yank him to the edge by his feet minutes before sun rise and he doesn't know how to say thank you - for the trip, for the floatie, for saving his ass from being BBQ - but he pours you a bigger drink, gets you another round of chips without being asked, and even carries you to bed so you don't have to sleep on the dogpile with everyone else on the couch.

When you get back to the office, you swear to him that you two are even, don't sweat it. Max reminds you he can't sweat and to this day, he always saves you an extra doughnut.

Comfort at the Beach

Summary - Part 36 in the Comfort series

Pairing - Dean Winchester x Reader, Reader x Sam (platonic), Reader x Bobby (father-figure), Andre (OG Character) x Reader (best friends)

Series Masterlist | Masterlist

After finishing your delicious breakfast Dean takes your hand and leads you out of the restaurant. You assume he’s leading you back towards the car until he makes an unexpected turn towards the esplanade.

“Babe, the car’s back that way,” you state pointing in the direction of the Impala.

“I know. I had something else in mind…unless you wanna go back to the hotel and continue what we started earlier?”

“As tempting as that is, lead the way.” You let him guide you along the street as you each look through the glass windows at the displays. Eventually, he stops and leads you into a store filled with beachwear and accessories. You look at him shocked. “But you hate the beach?”

“But you don’t. I saw you looking out the window earlier.”

“But I’m not gonna go to the beach on my own on our honeymoon, nor am I gonna force you to be subject to the whole laundry list of complaints you gave me last time I asked to go the beach. You’ll just be annoyed and then I’ll feel guilty and the day will just suck.” You turn to lead him back out onto the street but he pulls you close to his chest instead.

“I won’t bitch about it, I promise.” Dean spots a sexy red bikini out the corner of his eye and drags you over to the display picking out your size and handing it to you. “Trust me. Just go try it on.”

“You promise? Not a word about the sand? Or the salt water? Or-”

“Anything for you, now go try that on and give me a fashion show.” He pushes you towards the dressing room as he collects towels, sunscreen, and a new pair of sunglasses for each of you.

Once dressed in the slightly skimpy bikini you suddenly feel very self-conscious. You throw the flannel back on over the top and nervously peak out of the curtain for Dean. When you don’t see him you quietly call out for him. He pops up from around the corner almost instantly with an overflowing basket.

“Alright, let’s see it,” he says encouraging you. You step out but keep your arms folded across your chest to keep the flannel shut. “Hey, it’s just me. Don’t get all shy on me now.” He places the basket on the floor and pries your hands away from your chest and slips the flannel off your shoulders. His eyes glance over your body as he makes you spin for him. “Can’t believe I got such a sexy wife.” Sensing your unabating discomfort he pulls a light red, floral kimono from a nearby mannequin and slides it over your shoulders. “Better?”

You pull it closed in front for more coverage and nod. He kisses your cheek and pulls you close. “You’re never this shy in bed.”

“It’s different. It’s dark and you’re the only one there.”

“If anyone else tries to check you out or touch you they’re dead. This,” he gestures at your body, “is all for me.”

“Alright, Mr. Big Talk, your turn.” You venture into the men’s section a pick out a pair of simple black boardshorts.

“Sweetheart, you know I don’t do shorts.”

“Actually, I know for a fact you do.” You push them into his hands and lead him back towards the dressing room. “I’ve seen you cleaning Baby. Not to mention we share a room…I’ve seen your collection of short shorts in your drawer.” You push him into the dressing room and close the curtain. While you wait for him you pick out a pair of slip-on sandals.

“Nope. No. Nope. I don’t do shorts.” Dean complains from behind the curtain.

“You promised. No complaints. Now get out here.”

Dean awkwardly emerges while pulling at the bottom of the swim shorts which fall just above his knees. You walk around him, checking him out. The shorts fit perfectly, moulding to the shape of his sexy ass. You nod in approval, “Perfect. But you are losing at least a few of these top layers when we get on the sand,” you say tugging at the collar of his jacket.

“Can we just pay and get out of here already? And stop objectifying me while you’re at it.”

You roll your eyes and head for the checkout.

As you walk outside you slip on the knockoff Ray Bans Dean picked out for you. You stop by the Impala to drop off your clothes and boots before making your way onto the warm, golden sand. Once you find a secluded space Dean spreads out the towels on the sand. You each sit down on them as you start applying sunscreen to your face and arms. Watching you, Dean pulls out his phone and holds it up to get a sneaky photo but you turn at the last second and catch him. You smile nervously, not the biggest fan of photos, and he snaps it quickly before tossing his phone down beside him and reaching for the sunscreen and gesturing for you to turn around. He gently slides down the kimono to massage the cream into the skin on your neck and back, his fingers skiming under the straps of the bikini ensuring full coverage. As he finishes, he pecks just behind your ear and you lean back against him. He squirts on a little more cream and starts massaging it over your exposed chest and stomach. His hands linger on your stomach, his mind momentarily wandering back to the time when he was imagining it growing with your child.

Feeling his hands you know exactly where his mind’s at. Not wanting to fall down that rabbit hole with him you put your hands over his and sit up. “It’s your turn.” You lift his shirt off his torso and start massaging the suncream into his skin, feeling him relax under your touch.

“So far this isn’t so bad. You didn’t emphasize how much touching came along with a beach vacation.”

“There was never this much touching in any of the beach trips I went on with my family. We all just managed our own sun safety. My brother never would have wanted to touch me, nor would I want him to.”

“So, you had beach days often as a kid then?”

“Every summer my parents would rent out a beach house in L.A. Except for that last one when my brother insisted we go camping instead…I complained so much, I hated it, but my mom promised me that we’d still get to go to the beach for a week after we came back from camping. Of course that never happened ‘cause well, you know the rest…”

Your hands stop rubbing in the cream and he pulls you into his lap. “I’m sorry. So the beach..you feel-”

“Close to them. It’s the last happy memory I have of my family. It’s been years though. I’m okay.”

“I lost my mom when I was four, I’ve had my whole life to process it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t still hurt. I wish I had known that’s why you wanted to come, I would’ve brought you here sooner.”

“After all your complaints it hardly seemed worth it, and then I also knew you’d just feel guilty for complaining. And I know you’re probably feeling that now, but that’s not why I told you. I just don’t want secrets from you, not that this was ever a secret per se, it’s just hard to talk about.”

He holds you close to his chest and kisses your head. You take a few moments to compose yourself and accept Dean’s comfort. Then you pull back slightly to look up at his face. “I’m gonna…I’m gonna go for a swim, clear my head.” He nods and starts to stand up with you. “You don’t have to come, it’s enough you brought me this far.” You lean down and kiss him as he sits back down. He watches as you descend towards the water.

You wade through the cool, salty water until it’s just past your waist and then splash some water on your face. After wiping your face you glance back up the beach at Dean. You can’t tell if he’s watching you through his dark shades but you smile at him anyway. The water provides you a comfort you didn’t know you needed. You turn around to go deeper where you can dive a little, when you come back up a little where you can stand comfortably you feel arms wrap around your waist. You scream out of shock as you quickly wipe your face and claw at the hands.

“Sorry, sorry, it’s just me.” Dean spins you around in his arms just keeping a light grip on your waist. Feeling a sting under the water he pulls his right hand up to inspect the scratches. “I guess I really should know better than to sneak up on a hunter.”

“Sorry,” you say as you bring his hand up to your lips kissing the scratch.

“You always were feisty, it’s one of the things that made me attracted to you in the first place.”

“I generally know your touch, it’s just a little disorienting under the water, I was in my head a little.”

He puts his hand back on your waist, pulls you close and kisses you softly. “I was thinking, since we just splurged on all this, whenever we catch a case near a beach we’ll take an extra day, or we can just make the drive. You seem so relaxed and happy here, it’s a good look on you, I wanna see it more often.”

“I like the sound of that. I was also thinking…how about tonight we do something that’s more typically us? Let’s go to a bar, get some drinks, hustle some pool, maybe earn back some of the money we’ve spent?”

“You sure?”

“You gave me today, here, despite your aversions to the place. I just want to return the favour.”

“I can think of other ways you can do just that…but I’ll take a night at the bar with you, some darts and some pool.”

You both move along with the waves closer to the shore. A cool breeze blows past you causing you to shiver. “How about we pick up some takeout, head back to the hotel, share a hot shower to clean off all this salt and sand, and then cuddle up for the rest of the afternoon?” You ask.

“That sounds perfect,” he replies before kissing you and walking back up to shore with you. He shakes the sand off your towel and then wraps it around your shoulders before shaking out his own and drying himself off. Slightly drier, he pulls his t-shirt on and then holds out your kimono so you can slip it on for a little extra warmth and modesty. You walk back to the Impala together and Dean tosses all the stuff on the backseat and then joins you in the front before driving back to the hotel.

After sharing a hot shower and changing into comfortable clothes you and Dean find yourself snuggling up in bed watching some reruns of Dr. Sexy.

I hate Catholic modesty culture but at least it’s an ethos and is plausibly based in stuff that’s actually present in Catholic theology. Nominally secular modesty culture is ten times worse. It’s all part of this weird prudery-prurience where carefully curated PG-13 approaches to everything are not only normative but “cool” somehow. Younger generations on French and Spanish beaches have stopped going topless not because of more conservative moral opinions but because Mom and Grandma (uncool) go topless and characters in American movies or TV shows (cool, I guess) do not. Japan used to have widespread coed onsens and now that tradition is dying a slow agonizing death because of a combination of Western (read: “modern”) modesty norms fifty or a hundred years ago and the worst and creepiest subset of Japanese men ruining it for everyone else with their smartphone voyeurism today. Taylor Swift sued someone for groping her and people said that her referring to her “bare ass” under her skirt meant that she must be making it up--as if no famous, beautiful, image-conscious woman ever went commando or wore thongs, especially under unforgiving fabrics. I’ve seen people bemoaning that cis women don’t have more “practical” swimwear options like [checks notes] boardshorts, even though boardshorts are about as terrible to actually swim in as string bikinis are and only dominate cis men’s swimwear options because of self-consciousness and homophobia. There’s a whole subgenre of NLOG where the “other girls” are people whose tastes and habits are Too Sexy, even if they’re lesbians or asexuals whose own reasons for those tastes and habits have nothing to do with sexual display. And all of this without any substantive moral or religious content at all! Sad.

The Skin Details for their parents can be found in my Models Masterlist, where you'll find Lucian and Willow. Willow was also used for Gen 1's Lookbooks. Part 1 is the Gardener's Route and Part 2 is the Writer's Route

Given that this Lookbook is the children of these, they wont show up in my Models Masterlist, but I will link their Skin Details at the bottom.

If you want to see the Older Sister, on the Mischevious Engineer Route, Link is Here
