can't wear pants that don't have room anymore. usually wear a 32x32 in all my pants, my waist is probably a 30 though.
for surf pants the large fits best for me, the mediums were just a tad too short but I only wear those around the house anyway, they look fucking stupid with blazer mids for me. larges go great with all my shoes and stuff and you can cuff them if they're a little too long.
usually for skating I go back and forth between regular Carhartt pants you get at dicks, and dickies stretch 874, got a pair of dickies LP810s that look fucking stupid but are nice and thin and breezy for summer, the surf pants seem perfect for skating but at like 70 bucks I'm not doing anything other than slashing curbs in them when you can get LP810s for like 8 bucks at goodwill or stretch dickies for 30 bucks online.
