Which boardshorts are better the alpinestars HD or the Oakley Blade?

I am comparing to get the better one because they both seem like really good boardshorts but I just want to know which one is the best. The HD alpinestars have an 8 way stretch but the Oakley blade has an O stretch and I thought 8 way stretch was the best but then Oakley says they have an O stretch I have no idea what O stretch is and how it's better if I could just get a debate on which one is better that'll be fantastic!!!! xDWhich boardshorts are better the alpinestars HD or the Oakley Blade?
I interpret your explanation as one short having a weave in the cloth that allows it to stretch in eight directions. (Horizontal, Vertical and both diagonals) The other doesn't stretch at all it has 0 stretch. Normally you'd only need stretch if the short was too tight. When buying board shorts you buy them baggy and really shouldn't need the stretch. The only advantage to the stretchable weave would be to prevent tearing if you snag on something. If you don't keep tearing your shorts, just go with the cheaper and save yourself a few bucks.



Good luck with your search..
