A Sunny Disposition: Three Blue Ducks

  Most people hate their jobs. It’s just a fact. Unless you’re going to make it as a professional surfer – and let’s face it, you’re not – chances are you’re going to spend your time bolted to a desk in an office cubicle, or digging holes. However, there’s a select few who’ve really thought about this vocation thing, and have sculpted their lifestyle so that they can spend the majority of the sunlight hours wearing boardshorts. These are the stories of these visionaries. Welcome to a Sunny Disposition.   Now, let’s meet:   Three Blue Ducks   Three Blue Ducks is a culinary institution in Sydney that paved the way for the trending wave of ‘farm to table.’ Like any savvy entrepreneurs, the boys were set up for the organic storm, and when it hit, they harnessed the breeze from their Bronte cafe and blew up to Byron Bay to open a second shop. The awesome thing about the hospitality industry is that you have a good slice of the daylight hours free.   Stab did some time above the grill and riding the salt with the ducks, whose ideals suit the sustainability focus of Volcom’s new boardshort line – hence, why you’ll see these gents rolling in cuts from the new range, which features (among other things) Repreve fabric, made from recycled plastic bottles. You’ll also notice the smiles of those who are reaping the rewards of a well executed plan and a life spent mostly in trunks.   Welcome to Volcom’s completely re-designed boardshort collection!
