Nothing influences the way beach people dress more than the sport of surfing, which helps explain why our readers named Spyder Surf the Best of the Beach men’s clothing store. This year’s hottest fashion item, Spyder manager Chas Wojick said, is the Hurley Phantom Board shorts. A five-time winner of board short of the year with four-way stretch that’s super water repellent They’re also tight around the waist to they don’t come off in the water.
Wojick thinks that Spyder is especially popular for people from out of town because they get to wear board shorts and sandals anytime of the year.

“If you’ve lived in Iowa your whole life, and you can wear board shorts in January or February, why not?” Wojick said.
