Who Makes The Longest Board Shorts?
September 8, 2010 by ·
I’ve on a quest to find out who makes the longest board shorts. So far, it looks like Man Grove Monkey’s Custom Board Shorts may win. I asked their company a few questions about the ordering process and here are the answers.
- They can make board shorts in any length. They’ll even make them pants if you want.
- They can accommodate most alteration requests at an up-charge. If you want to submit your specific alterations to their form, they will quote you the pricing. These include alterations to the rise.
- Once you have settled on a design specifications, they will create a custom order page to the shopping cart and send you the URL. Once your card is approved, they will get to work.
- Turnaround time is typically 7 to 10 working days.
- The price is typically $75 per unit plus any alterations. Once they hit a 40 waist size and higher, they add another $6 to the base price.
I know these are a bit pricey. I’m looking for more long board shorts, so if anyone has any ideas, leave them in the comments below.

The Longest Board Shorts
August 7, 2010 by ·
So who makes the longest board shorts? I’m on a quest to figure this out. I get lots of requests for them mostly from tall guys in the 6’4″ height and taller. There is a serious shortage in stores that carry them. I’ve actually thought about designing a brand for tall people. What do you think of that idea?
It’s also hard to tell who actually has the longest length as sometimes board shorts are measured by the overall outward length, while some are measured by inseam length. It would be helpful if there was a standard measurement – similar to jeans. With board shorts labeled by inseam length and then a measurement telling us the rise as these can vary greatly.
Now that I’ve explained the discrepancies, here are the longest board shorts that I can find around. If you know of any more, leave a comment and I will put them on my list.
