Im all for blurring the edges! I can do that in the back yard, but I’m thinking Red Rock is the place to go for the small beach vibe. I set out north once from steep ravine beach to see if I could hike and boulder hop all the way to Stinson. I know I got well past the hot springs, but I don’t recall...

Can you still hang out at Red Rock in your speedo tan without the speedo?

The portrayal of speedo’s exclusively as as thongs and bling does play to the notions of swagger or gayness per sé. As a straight guy who considers swim briefs to be the most practical cut of swimwear, I resent that notion, click bait for the news media. They are not that common in San Francisco eit...

The article heads up with a photo from crowded Baker Beach. Here is the opening paragraph: * March 18, ...

Scottie, what European islands off the coast of Africa were you visiting two years I a row, (if you don’t mind me asking)? The Canarias and Madeira come to mind. I’d like to visit there some day but wouldn’t know where to start. I’m really surprised you didn’t see more speedos. Cararias especially, ...

One guy at Ohio St. was rocking a bright pink brief writ large with the Addicted logo, . Good for him. After Ohio St beach, we jumped onto the #147 shoreline bus and rode north past so many beach parks I hadn’t known existed. I’d like to go back (summer only) to check them out. Earlier in the trip w...

I ended my recent vacation on Lake Michigan with a visit to the Ohio Street beach in downtown Chicago, where I noticed three other guys in speedos working on their tans and enjoying the lake and the view. No big deal, but good to see. Myself, I rocked a Turbo water polo brief depicting a colorful ba...

I have a couple their polo briefs, included a black one like sydspeedo’s, as well as a classic alligator pattern, and a rash guard and a couple of microfiber beach towels, for my wife and myself. It takes a while though get them (pr...

I always try to get to Sand Harbor beach on the Nevada side north, or to the small coves along the coastal trail there. Crystal clear water but bracing cold, so you don’t have to worry about a bulge (why worry?!) One time we happened to be up at South Tahoe for the fireworks on the 4th, and there wa...

I visited beaches in Italy and Croatia this summer with family. I never had to wait long nor look far to see another guy in a speedo. But I wouldn’t say they were abundant. Just a few here and there, but rarely myself being the only one. In Tropea in southern Italy, a beautiful place on the Mediterr...

The biggest most speedos I saw in one place on vacation in Croatia was at Kasjuni Beach near Split. Ahh, I see, their big towel was a Brazilian flag?!

I snapped this telephoto from the wall in Dubrovnik (aka "Kings Landing" in GOT). I totally identify with this guy in his speedo, feeling the water, pulling it, buoyed up, hit by waves. Speedo, perfect swimwear. I did run across a couple of FKK (naturist) beaches on this trip. Very chill, no overtly...

Just returned from 10 days with swimming in the cool clear Adriatic at several different beaches. Briefs are popular with maybe 5% of men at the beaches, so if you don’t see one at first, you may see a bunch in farther along. Most likely for men over 40 and boys 12 and under. Locals too. The notion ...

Last July I bought one classic and one water polo brief (34), and I can confirm the measurements of 4" and 2.5" respectively. The classic Q, at 4" side seam, is pretty much like the classic Speedo Endurance + of the same size, however, in agreement with red^^, the fit of the Q is more relaxed, the w...

Welcome, Pierre! I may have posted this before, a hilarious advertisement from sungalife.com. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQ1KvEzaeQ It proclaims the superiority of sungas over board shorts, and dismisses speedos too. Squares vs triangles. While I don't agree with the last part, it's great that...

I bought from them on their last 50% sale earlier this year. It did take 4 weeks for just-in-time production, printing, cutting, stitching,.. They don’t keep anything in shelf stock. Worth the wait though.

The TrustPilot negative comments are all about snafus in ordering, not about quality of the merchandise. I've never ordered from them direct, so I can't comment about that. I've found my Turbo briefs on ebay and at a local Sports Basement retailer. If I'm ever in Barcelona again, I'll definitely wan...

The water polo cut has 7cm (3”) side seam, whereas on the swim cut it is 10cm (4”). The water polo brief will sit lower on your hip, just above your femur, where your leg articulates. In appearance it will sit about three finger widths below your navel, where as the swim cut will ride higher on the ...

Old thread, common topic, "is <destination> speedo-friendly?" I was in San José del Cabo in Baja a week ago, prior to hurricane Norma. Luckily it faded to a tropical storm before it hit, unlike hurricane Otis that hit Acapulco at category five. My wife and I were in the water in the ocean for hours,...
