Imagine, you’re on a beautiful and exotic tropical beach and not one of the dashing specimens surrounding you speaks your language. Your problems are over, dude, if you pick up some of this elite swimwear from inventors Robert Dickey and Ruth Stevens of Cobble Hill, British Columbia, Canada. By mixing and matching differently patterned pieces, the wearer can convey various maritime-inspired messages to other beach-goers who are in the know. Possible messages include: “I am dragging my anchor”, “I will attempt to rescue you with whip and breeches buoy”, “you should be ready to receive my towing hauser”, and even “spaceship is down and requires immediate assistance”. Thanks to these innovative Canucks, you’ll never again be frustrated with a beach language barrier.
