Board shorts (for me) any recs?

[YouAreTheFocus]

I have been trying to find a pair of board shorts to no avail. We went to the water park last wkd and I had to wear a pair of DH's and even my 3 yo could tell I looked ridiculous :p I am not seeing many online or in stores, and the few I have seen are too short for me. Any suggestions?

I got some at Kohl's that I like. They are black with a zipper and snap. They also have pockets.

This site has a ton of different options for ladies board shorts. http://boardshortsworld.com/board-shorts---regular-rise-or-new-lower-rise.aspx

The LE ones linked are very short. The ones on the boardshortsworld site look nice, but they are expensive!! If anyone finds something cheaper like those then I'd be interested. I've been wearing one of the LE swim mini skirts (not the mini mini), and I feel well covered. It does float up if you're just in a pool though so I just bought a pair of the LE beach living swim shorts (http://www.landsend.com/pp/StylePage-347229_AL.html?amp;CM_MERCH=REC-_-FPPP-_-GGT-_-1-_-347229-_-398099). They just have the 3" inseam too which is really a big shorter than I'm comfortable with, but I plan on wearing them in the pool. I'd be more comfortable walking around a waterpark or beach in the skirt than the shorts though given the length.

I found some cute ones at Dick's Sporting Goods.

La Blanca at Nordstroms. LOVE these. I bought med, which should fit size 10-12. Sizing is correct and on the generous side!

I just got the Breeze shorts from Athleta and they are fantastic. I wore them every day last week while we were on the beach. I think the run a bit big - I'm between a 4 and 6 and the 4 fit well.
