We’re burning up inside. It’s hot, the water’s warm and the four eye’d sun is searing through our waistbands. Bong presents the only button waist and velcro fly of the bunch.

An 18” slice, single back pocket for a pocket nug and enough stretch to keep you in the water ’till crispy. The door swing and the Bong drops off their “Good Day Mr Sunshine” boardies. The since ’73 company from the Gold Coast, intro their Place In The Sun submission with heavy hitters, founder Gordon Merchant as the designer, Occy as the delivery man, Creed Mctaggart on the psychedelic journey with Mr Sunshine. Then, we enter the cartoon world of Dr D Foothead, a gent who’s done animation for psych bands Thee Oh Sees and The Babe Rainbow. Anyone else feeling a little lysergic?
