Last turbo I bought small was pretty high up in the front. Anyone know if the uk versions are lower rise in the front?

I ordered some from this site a few days ago (thanks for posting this paspeedo), and like you (I assume) am in Florida, so it will be a while before they get here. Also, I don't have any other turbos to compare them to, but will post back with my findings. If you're going to order any, be sure about whether they are for swimming or polo because the sizes aren't the same (consult their size chart).

I will be curious how they fit. I bought one, a "mojito" model. I am 5'8" so I can go with a lower rise in the front. Tend to like that. The Euro Sporti's are great but I would like a bit looser fit just not a bigger suit. The jewels are really squeezed in the Euro Sporti

If you're squeezed in those euro suits, I found cutting out the front liner helped a lot. Also did a better job of showing the front profile. Same with the Turbo, I had a couple and took out all the lining. Much better that way

They finally arrived!!! Impressed with how low cut they are. Will be looking forward to wearing these. Ordered them in black, and, due to a bit of stretching, turned a nice shade of grey, I'd say.

I'm 5'7", so I look for a lower rise in the front too. I will admit it's a very tight fit in the pouch, but managed to fit everything in. Included a "happy purchase" picture for reference. I don't think I would remove any lining, these water polo ones seem pretty well stitched in there to be worth any additional room.

Awesome, awesome, awesome looking swimsuit! Perfect fit on you! Is that as small as your going to go for your wife's viewing pleasure on your upcoming vacation, or will go even smaller?

Thanks! Actually, she surprised me with a weekend trip to Daytona Beach this weekend, so I'll be testing the water with these sooner than I expected. As for Punta Cana later this year, while that beach is topless friendly, I don't think I can get any smaller than these Turbos before it pops out, or I show my crack.

Great suit. Loved the pic's.

You could always wear a thong...

_su_, if you're gonna be in the Daytona Beach area this weekend, you should look into visiting Apollo Beach Lot#5 or Playalinda Beach Lot #13.

Just sayin.

I usually head to Florida for a winter trip and fly into Ft Lauderdale. Maybe we can all hang out a day at one of the many awesome beaches!

You don't have to reveal if you would prefer not to, but wonder what your waist is and the size of suit you got? I've got a 32" waist, but the Turbo x-large is what ended up feeling the most comfortable to me. Embarrassed to say that I have anything x-large in my closet!

Daytona Beach will like those as much as we do!

These are *water polo sized* 10 years / XS (a swimsuit would be the next size up). I wear 28" men's jeans, or a size 18 in boys jeans. Out of 300 different pairs of underwear, probably 98% are size small or x-small if they offer. Only Croota and Skiviez have I needed to size up.

Well, except for Speedo brand. I was shocked to find I had to wear a 34" in Speedo after trying them on in the store; that's 6" more than normal!

I will admit these are right on the edge of being too small for me. My wife scolded me a couple times to pull them up in the back for showing some crack, but that was after playing in the surf.

Ha! I can see how some wave action might reveal a little bit of butt crack, because that suit just barely covers the crack as it is. Which is what makes it perfect! Just remember to pull up on the backside a little each time you walk out of the surf and everything will be A-OK. And besides, a little bit of necessary suit adjustment when emerging from the water is one of the things that make wearing speedos so damn fun! Not to mention how gloriously fun it is to be wearing nothing but a speedo when frolicking in the surf, so it's all well worth it!

PASpeedo,

How you are doing well mate.

I love that link - I've been looking for these speedos below and you found them.

SWEET! Glad to could help out! Do I get any bonus points??? haha

I must have guessed right on size, I've got a blue pair and they just fit. Size S. Lucky I'm lean - they just fit without looking too small. They just cover everything. :)

Hi Guys,

Regarding Turbo Suits... I found a US Supplier in CA http://www.kap7.com they can reorder any print Turbo has made. They would be ordered from Spain if not in stock locally. The Prices are 39-45 and some 49, and 6-9 shipping. This being said, it take about 3 weeks the sales guy Johnathan told me, If in stock in Spain a lot sooner or in stock at KAP7 evan sooner. I asked about cuts, Euro, Narrow sides, Low rise etc... It turns out all Turbo Suit are cut the same. However sides and rise vary with the size of suit, unless special ordered and have extra material added. This explains why a WP Team can have Small, Larger guys and the suits look deferent on them.

I told Johnathon I would ordering two suits . One is the Blue Australia one on this thread, it is a hot looking suit for sure and one other. He offered to send me a test set with me only ordering 2 suits.. I was shocked


To Get the correct Sizing, Johnothan is sending me 3 suits to test fit. He took my Amex Card just to hold Not to charge and sent the suits.

"Here is the USPS Tracking:9405510200828500368224 for the suits.

I sent a L, XL and XXL.

I hope they fit.

THank you,

Johnathon"

Guys, this a place to do business with and get any print you want ever made by Turbo. If you are un certain about sizing call and talk to Johnathon, see if he will send out a test fit set to get that correct fit. You can't go wrong that way.. You make your order/ special order and you have nothing to loose.

Keep speedoing, Snow

Hey Snow!
