Yes! Winter is finally getting off our backs and letting the sun get a little shine. Some of us are just getting off of our Spring Breaks, while others are planning to head to Miami in the next couple weeks. Regardless, we all have very near plans of hitting a beach. This is the time to impress all those bikini-clad babes, so leave the gym shorts at home and get legit. We've gathered the go-to brands, such as Volcom and RVCA along with some of the best, Y-3 and Gant, to present the 10 Best Boardshorts for Spring Break.

Quiksilver Manic 22" Boardshorts

Not that there's anything wrong with the wacky designs, but black will always be cool, unassuming, and humble.

Volcom Horizon Stripe

See, we can do a little print. Not to mention the washed-out fade on these shorts is pretty dope.

RVCA
Buy It Now at RVCA, $57
This may be a little extreme for the normal dude, but you'll definitely get stares. And if a chick doesn't like em, ask her to take them off for you. Win!

Hurley Phantom 60 Galaxy Mens Boardshort
Buy It Now at Hurley, $62
This list just wouldn't be right if we didn't include Hurley. These are the perfect pair for the true surfer looking for performance fit with style still being a factor.

Zanerobe Freshwater

Because stripes are so swag. Enough said.

Fred Perry Cut & Sew Swim Shorts

The color block design makes for a party in your pants—for ladies only.

Franks Thin Stripe Mid Length

There's nothing wrong with going above the knee, bro. Chicks respect a man comfortable enough to show some thigh. We also appreciate the hidden side pockets to carry personals.

Gant by Michael Bastian Side Striped Swim Trunk

Bastian hits us with an old school athletic version of boardshorts and we dig it.

Y-3 Surfer Shorts
