[Snowbrief]

So, I tried to buy this USA style suit from Aquarapid, but the USA isn't listed as a country where they would ship too.

Why even offer such a suit if you won't deliver to the country of the flag on the suit? Does the rest of the world really think the USA is so anti-speedo they won't even sell us a suit with our flag on it....that is so sad for the USA....we aren't that bad, really, we can be nice speedo wearing people....I try to be one....

I don't think they care whether the USA is anti speedo or pro speedo or whatever. They're probably simply just not set up to conduct trade to the USA or North America, and maybe not even overseas. There are probably a lot of fees and taxes and yada yada yada that merchandisers have to deal with to sell and ship internationally and maybe they are just too small and regional. Great looking swimsuits, though.

As to the USA flag styling of the suit... as much as people overseas tend to bag on the Americans, there are still quite a lot of folks that secretly or even outwardly admire us or would like to be like us, especially with regard to the cultural offerings that we export. Which can backfire from time to time, especially when our culture embraces knee length or even below the knee baggy swim trunks for men, and shuns speedos, and now the majority of young men worldwide seem to sadly be embracing that particular American cultural idiocy.

BTW, looks like this is an Italian company. It reminded me of these two wonderful YouTube videos of an Italian man freediving in the Red Sea. Gorgeous stuff. And get a look at his speedo, not sure why he chose to wear that style, but I'm not complaining.
