Yep,same here DW,I wore the quickie checks for years until old man fat gut put an end to that.It kept in tune with my punk day's ( Lacey you were there ) so shut up

I was frothing when they came back in vogue two years ago. Short checked boardies still wear them every surf.
For the record dropped 15 kgs from my fat day's,now I look like an unfit old football player with all the old nagging injuries
