People who spent the day in the water wore what they had, and what they had was heavy cotton shorts. \u003cstrong\u003eCorduroy\u003c\/strong\u003e became the unofficial uniform of that generation for a practical reason: it was the fabric that could take sitting on the board, dried in the sun and still worked for walking into any place afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/9943\/3192\/files\/longboard-surfistas-70.webp?v=1786392805\" alt=\"1970s surfers carrying a longboard, one in corduroy shorts\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;text-align:center;margin-top:-8px\"\u003eLook at the shorts on the guy on the left: corduroy, loose cut, deep pocket, pleated waist. That is what was worn before neoprene existed, and it is exactly where these shorts come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA longboard, back then, was a board over nine feet, heavy, with no leash. You did not fall any which way: you rode the wave standing and walked to the nose. It was a slower kind of surfing, and the clothes followed that rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/9943\/3192\/files\/longboard-onda-70.webp?v=1786392805\" alt=\"Surfer riding a big wave on a longboard in the 1970s\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;text-align:center;margin-top:-8px\"\u003eBig wave, long board, no gear beyond the body.
