I’ve been wearing bird Wells for a little over 40 years so I’m still fit for my first lifeguarding gig. Best beach wherever. !

They're way too long. I'm having my seamstress hem them to the old school length. . . IMO, you ruined a classic. But otherwise, great quality! I would add in a faded black or gun mental grey to the colors.

I like the material and look of these shorts, but they have gone to a longer cut and looser waist. I like the original cut better.

Great new design and performance. I was able to test them out during some free diving in Taormina, Italy and can't wait to get out in the surf with them.

I grew up in Charleston, SC, and was very active in water sports. When I was 14 years old, I did everything I could to save up enough money to buy a pair of Birdwells (1982). I am now 57 years old and have a 14-year-old son who loves to kneeboard/boogie board. I was excited to see that Birdwells were still being made! I purchased us both a couple of pairs for our upcoming vacation to Wilderness at the Smokies (Sevierville, TN) over the 4th of July weekend. He loves them, and we are both excited!

I like the styling of Birdwell boardshorts and I think they are very well made. Pricey maybe but the quality is worth it. My only issue was sizing. I wear size 34 and the size 34 SurfNyl and SurfStretch were way too loose in the waist. I found that sizing down to a size 30 in SurfStretch and to a size 32 in SurfNyl was perfect for me. When I measured the waist on the size 32 SurfNyl it came out to 34 inches. When I measured the waist of on the size 30 SurfStretch it came out to 33 inches but easily stretched to a snug and comfortable 34 inches. Kudos to Birdwell for a relatively painless return/exchange process.

Great board shorts, quality build and fits true to size. Took a couple weeks to get them but well worth it. Highly recommend.

Good quality hat that I can’t wait to wear!

Super comfortable, high stretch fabric. Love the classic design and contrast stitching. Will order more colors!

Love the stretch material. Still the best made bathing suits! Keep up the good work.

Excellent product as always. Quick delivery it looks great.

I'm really digging the Birdwell 808s. They'll be perfect for a summer at Lake Michigan. I had to exchange sizes to get things right, and the customer service team was extremely helpful and accommodating.

Glad I purchased these early; they sold out fast. Great look and fit. Thanks Birdwell. I’ve been wearing your boardies since 78

A great selection of t-shirts that evokes the brand's history and references to California. Very happy to add some American-made items to my wardrobe.

Beautiful jacket, the color is amazing in person. My first Birdwell purchase, very happy with the quality, also happy to get the first responder discount :) Great customer service. I was thinking of returning it as my L was a little snug around the armpits and definitely tight on the cuffs if they are buttoned. But after wearing it for a few days it seemed to break in, for instance it's okay to drive in- easy arm movement. Also if you don't know, they do have a bit of a lining in them already, so no need to buy a quilted liner version unless you plan on being out in below 40 degree weather. Overall I absolutely love my new jacket, and will continue to buy from Birdwell in the future. I wish they sold stickers though :)

Great shorts! Same as the ones I’ve been buying since the 80s. Only the drawstring has changed shorts that last a lifetime.

Sweet sweet sweet. Highest quality!

It was small. Have the same size trunks in a different color and fits better. The purple ones run a half size small.

The last pair I had (1979)were indestructible. Living in Florida I’m in and around water constantly and need a high quality set of baggies. Birdwells are the only brand I trust

I wore Birdwell back in the early 80’s so nostalgia plays a part in my opinion. Product quality ie top notch. Classic style, lasting quality and the ability to transport me back to my youth are priceless.
