Make a splash by winning this Quiksilver eco-boardshorts. See details below.

 

If I were to ask my teenage sons what summer is all about they would reply, “swimming, going to the beach, and hanging out with my friends.” What better way to do this in a comfortable, breathable, eco-friendly boardshorts, which is not only lighter on the Earth, but a portion of its proceeds go towards a good cause?

 

 

Well, look no further since Quiksilver, has partnered with The Surfrider Foundation to create an organic 100% cotton Slightly Choppy special edition boardshorts. It features original artwork donated by Quiksilver’s renowned artist, Scott Richards, as well as the Surfrider Foundation’s iconic wave logo throughout the patchwork design. So now you can be environmentally stylish as well as helping the Surfrider Foundation through a portion of the sales of the shorts to protect the worlds’ oceans and beaches for others to enjoy. The Surfrider’s Foundation has been in existence since 1984 and currently maintains over 50,000 members and 80 chapters worldwide.

 

 

This boardshorts partnership stems from the two organizations’ close ties as well as Quiksilver’s commitment to enhance the quality of life for the communities of boardriders across the world through its support of environmental, educational, health and youth-related projects. Supporting our oceans is right up Quiksilver’s alley.

 

 

The shorts are available for $59.50 at Quiksilver retail stores nationwide and online. So, enjoy those lazy days of summer in the Slightly Choppy boardshorts knowing that it has made a difference for the protection of our oceans.

 

The Contest:

 

Weather is warm and the surf is up! Want to win a men size 32 or 34 Slightly Choppy broadshorts? Only US citizens can apply. (You choose which of the two size you want if you win.) Quiksilver will be sending you the shorts directly.

Ladies, you can enter too. Perhaps you like young men shorts or you have a favorite guy, child, or friend who would love these shorts.

 

All you have to do is leave a comment about your favorite summer pastime (whether it is eco or not.) I will pick someone randomly (the old pick the name out of the hat trick) so don’t worry about the quality of your comment. I just love comments. The contest will conclude Friday, July 18, 2008 at 6 pm eastern time.

 

Good Luck. Be part of the wave even though it might be slightly choppy!

I love to relax after a hard day of work, lay on the deck poolside or even better yet in the hammock. Relaxing is by far the greatest pastime.
