Speedo on the beach
Occasionally I will slip on a speedo when I am at the beach...but the beach has to be out of my area for me to feel the courage to do so.
I also do not like the look or feel of board shorts...for some reason they are in style now and the brief swimwear crowd has gone underground in my area.
It's funny...if I go north to Quebec I see some men in speedos but not as many as there used to be. Same for Hampton Beach in New Hampshire....the Quebecois used to come down in droves, spend money, and wear speedos on the beach.
I wish I could go back to the 70's when you had to wear a swimsuit with a lining in it...be it a pair of swim turns or a speedo. I was chastised by a lifeguard for trying to wear a cut off pair of jeans into the pool and was told to go the the office and get a suit that was allowed...
So, now I usually go with shorts that have a small inseam. I personally like to wear nylon jogging shorts (Soffe, Game Gear, and Cobblestones have great selections) when I head to the beach or kayak....and occasionally wear a speedo when I am not in my area.
Box cut swimwear is a good alternative as well. A search on Google will yield thousands of sites...and some great eye candy! Hope you get what you are looking for......
