The Blocker is an easy short and Matt Wilkinson is an easy going guy so clearly the two go together really well. They have simple colors and some fantastic technical features Ripcurl have used their superlight and super stretchy ES3 fabric which can stretch 180% and then snap back to its original comfortable fit without sagging or losing shape.  The ES3 fabric is hydrophobic so water repelling and super fast drying.  The electromagnetic and welding technology  reduces fabric therefore increasing all over comfort and performance of the boardshort.  These seams stretch with the fabric reducing the overall weight of the boardshort and assisting reduce rash by removing bulky seams.  The Blockers feature a body mapped panelling and shaping reducing seams in critical areas - meaning less chafing and more flexibility for the user.  They also feature a silicone printed drawcord which grips on itself and prevents slipping to secure your shorts even in the heaviest of wipeouts!!!!  These really are a super functionally yet super looking pair of boardies!!!!!!!
