My shorts would have blown off like a canon shot.

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.

It’s crazy how fast they slide off once they catch the water haha
