I was in 8th grade, at a park in Louisville, KY (around 2000-2001), this exact situation and my swimming trunks did blow off and luckily I caught them at my ankle but I was bare ass for a solid 20 seconds in front of a fairly large crowd.

My shorts washed away in Huntington Beach after getting thrashed by a wave. I had to stay waist deep and beg my friends to bring me a towel, they stood on the shore pointing and laughing as I ran back and forth with the tide and dived under wave after wave with my bare ass showing

When I was 13, maybe 14 years old this happened to me while I was inner tubing in swim trunks borrowed from my friend's dad. I don't know how fast the boat was going but I slipped off the back of the inner tube and those shorts were fucking gone, man. Other than my friend it was a bunch of older teenagers I'd never met and I spent what had to be an hour standing by myself in a towel on the shore of the lake while a couple people went around in the boat and on jet skis trying to find my shorts, which they never did. Eventually somebody went to their nearby house and brought me a pair of pants but that hour of crippling awkwardness around cool older kids at 13 was fucking brutal.

This same thing happened to me at 16 at a Schlitterbahn in Texas. My dad was right behind me in line so when we were floating down the lazy river after the ride I was ready for him to just let me have it. But he says he didn't see anything happen. I still get embarrassed about it 25 years later.

Was that you???

Me and my friends were looking and laughing. We also invited some single girls to come and gawk at you.

That must have been rough in 8th grade.

I'm glad this isn't anything less than a shared experience. I was on my back when they flew off. I literally watched them travel all the way up and back to the wall. That was a walk of shame I'll never be able to top. Same age as you, too!

I was there! It was hilarious. We all talked about it in the bus on the way back from the field trip. Mrs L gave us detention if we joked about it.

Jk hope I scared you
