And while most of us would probably admit that we still like a good cannonball here and there, these male models would probably out-splash us.

The lookbook consists of numerous male models donning [streetwear-inspired swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksubi-unveils-kswim) in mid-air. The trunks they are wearing are clearly flexible due to all the bends and twisty positions that the models boast, which makes them the [perfect swimwear for the active swimmer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surface-athletic). So men, if you surf, swim or wind sail, these swimming trunks will keep you cool, comfortable and fashionable.

Best of all, the collection features a wide-range of shorts that come in [vibrant prints and solid colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fioretta) that are appropriate for both on and off the beach.
