With the Fourth of July weekend looming, we can reflect on what makes a truly American summer -- well, besides getting all sorts of drunk when we know we don't gotta go work on Monday. For us at Complex, we like to imagine ourselves chillin' beachside, with a cold beer in one hand and a 100% beef burger in the other, secretly scouting the talent from behind our wayfarers. Since it'll be too hot to rock that Stars and Stripes t-shirt when the sun's beating down on you, we opted to find the dopest beach gear still made in the good old US of A -- because you can still channel American heritage without looking like you stepped out of a L.L. Bean catalog. Here's our picks for the 10 Best Boardshorts Made in the USA.
