Dear all....

I am trying to source brands of kite board shorts, and hopefully, shops that sell them - preferably in/around Perth.

I'm looking for shorts that are longer in length than (surf) board shorts i.e. below the knee - and yes, I have looked/asked/searched in numerous surf shops around Perth...surf shops don't seem to have anything suitable.

suggestions, recommendations please...

Old jeans - cut them off any length you like, wet denim will never ride up and it makes the seat harness more comfy and less pinchy.

I'm at risk(more risk than most) of skin cancer and managed to find full length boardies called kite pants from a U.S. brand Ultra Nectar - bought from x-shore kiting in qld 2 yrs ago, these are good - now wear s2 (same as radiator) pants most and long boardies sometimes. Not sure if they make these boardies any more but give xshore a try. Forget it if you're trying to look cool but sure beats melanomas

wake shops dude, have a look through wake shops.

Jet Pilot shorts are all below knee length. NPX shorts, sold by some Cab dealers were well below knee. Try ski/wakeshops.
Comments about the length of my legs are a bit low, ok!

Try Ocean to Air, Durban, South Africa - email him. He has full length kite pants.

I was given a pair but have not used them - maybe for kitestock, when 3 days of hard wind and sun takes its toll.

Yeah Juddy, get full length kite pants, please, get full length kite pants - they'll go nicely with your new doonas.
