Back in the day, we were just a bunch of beach bums dreaming about the perfect pair of swim shorts. And by perfect, we mean shorts that wouldn't squish our bits into oblivion every time we wanted to catch some waves or show off our impressive cannonballs. We searched high and low, but the perfect pair remained as elusive as a kid who cheats playing Marco Polo.

That's when the light bulb (or should we say, lighthouse?) moment hit us. If we couldn't find the ideal shorts, why not make them ourselves? So, armed with a dream and a whole lot of determination (plus a few stitches and fabric swatches), we set off on our quest.

Our mission? To create a pair of shorts that could handle any beach or poolside shenanigans without compromising the comfort of your coconuts. And thus, the Nutnook technology was born – a radical invention that cradles your buddies like they're lounging in a hammock, sipping a mojito.

But we didn't stop there. Oh no. We knew our swim shorts had to be more than just a comfortable nest for your nestlings. They needed to have style. Flair. The kind of pizzazz that screams, "I'm the life of the beach party, and my shorts are the VIP guests!"

And so, Hightide was born - the ultimate destination for men's swim shorts that marry style and comfort, with a side of good ol' humor. We're here to make waves in the world of men's swimwear. And we're doing it one pair of happy balls at a time.

Welcome to the Hightide family. It's a nuts-about-comfort kind of place.

So go ahead, dive in. Your beach balls will thank you.

​P.S. We’re also dead serious about keeping our oceans as cool and breezy as your balls. That’s why we’re committed to sustainable practices. Because what good are happy balls if we don’t have a happy planet to house them?

Join us in our mission. The water’s just right.
