Summertime, and the living is easy. Fish are jumping, and the waves are high. What?

Okay, maybe Porgy didn't surf and Gershwin was probably more concerned with lullabies and crap games than hanging ten, but the opening line to 'Summertime' always makes us crave the sun on our face and sand on our feet. We like to cover the parts in between with boardshorts.

Quicksilver has released their 2008 collection of boardshorts and like the lyrics above, they make us want to embrace the pending arrival of summer and the sand and the stuff.





On the off chance you've been living under a rock and are unfamiliar with Quicksilver, here's the 411 (that's how the kids say 'info' nowadays):

Quiksilver designs, produces and distributes clothing, accessories and related products for young-minded people and develops brands that represent a casual lifestyle-driven from a boardriding heritage. Quiksilver's authenticity is evident in its innovative products, events and retail environments across the globe. Quiksilver's products are sold throughout the world, primarily in surf shops, skate shops and other specialty stores that provide authentic retail experience for our customers.

That means they know what they are doing and they're good at it. Basically, they make it look easy- like the living.
