Sports to do in a speedo

[Speedo Knight]

I have played volleyball in a public park with friends several times. I also ways had a Speedo (or such) under my shorts. Eventually, it would get too warm for shirts (South Florida) and many of the guys would toss them to the sides.

At some points my "team" would be behind in score and it would be Match Point for the opposing team, and they would be serving.

I'd shuck my shorts leaving me wearing nothing but a (often times) multi-colored Speedo!

Threw the opposing team's serve every time! I'm no slouch in fitness, but I think it was the wild color schemes and/or patterns that truly threw them off.

Won a lot of games that way. Not all, but a lot.

What prompts you in April 2014 to post about volleyball on a thread started in
August 2013, having previously opened your own thread with one post in January 2012 regarding Dolfin shorts - but not responded to post#5 (nor others offering advice) therein ?

One of the biggest problems with guys that like speedos is they are basically chickens. Guys may go to the beach or pool with speedos on under their shorts and not see another guy in a speedo and not take the shorts off. Has it ever occurred to you guys that maybe there are a lot of other guys with the "I don't want to be the only one in a speedo" mentality that are sitting on the same beach in their shorts.
If you like your speedo and look good in it, by all means wear it. So what if you are the only one, you know you are comfortable and like what you are wearing. A regular cut speedo is a common swimsuit and nothing to be shy about. I have a basic black 2" I travel with (among others) that I can wear if I am unsure how the crowd by the pool. I found another way to deal with the speedo is speak French and they will think you are a tourist.

There were several men, including me, in at the poolside carry out lunch counter.

One other activity is beach volleyball. I know someone who plays regularly and he mentioned that while board shorts are most common, a few of the men play in speedos.

Back in 1981-1985 - in NJ where I am from, in Vernon Valley-Great Gorge, there used to be a water slide theme park (rather unsafe now that I am thinking about all the hazards!) called Action Park...when i went there during those years, I would say at least one in four guys, and among guys under 30 that was one in three, were wearing a speedo/swimmers brief, even the lifeguards there wore speedos. I don't remember anyone making a fuss, but in the 80s - speedos were a regular occurrence - at Swartzwood State Park, Lake Hopatcong...and of course up and down the Jersey Shore - Seaside, Asbury, Atlantic City, Wildwood...

In Aquitaine in the Bay of Biscay, France; the locals go fishing in speedos and square cuts. They use "volleyball" nets that they walk through the shallows as the tide goes in or out and catch any fish passing by.
I guess this is a sport and it provides dinner.
This is a type of fishing best done in speedos.
