UPFRONT
SWIM INTO SUMMER
Bathers, swimmers, togs, a cossie,
trunks or even a dookie (what?!).
We’re here to help you decide what
kind of swimsuit you are!
1THE KINI
Harkening back to 1946 and named
for Bikini Atoll, whether it’s a bikini,
a trikini (don’t forget the matching mask),
a burkini (more is more), there’s even the
pubikini (designed to show off the pubic
hair) and the monokini for topless bathing,
it seems the options are endless. Either
way, anything ending in kini is usually a
good choice for summer.
2BOARD SHORT OR BORED SHORT?
If you prefer a hibiscus floral print
in a knee length short, then the
board short is for you. Originally designed
for surfing, these longer length shorts
seem to appeal to Americans as they like
to avoid the lycra chafe. Having said that,
we do love a Vilebrequin print swimming
trunk, budget-permitting.
3THE MANKINI
If you find yourself liking a couple
of strips of lycra stretched between
your buttocks, chances are you’re the
mankini. Popularised (if we dare say that)
by Borat, this item sets the wearer apart
(as well as the cheeks) and is really only
for the bold.

BUDGIE SMUGGLER
If you like a little more coverage
than the mankini but still like to
show off your bits, then the little Budgie
Smuggler is for you. Popular with northern
Europeans, these little fellas leave nothing
to the imagination.
5ONE PIECE MAILLOT
There comes a time when the bikini
is replaced by the one piece, and
you wonder why you never wore it before!
Hiding the problem stomach area, this
piece is a delightfully flattering garment
leaving you with a strange silhouette on
the torso. Despite that, we love it.

MY FAVOURITE DESTINATION
VANCOUVER ISLAND
DOMINIQUE SMIT
Co-Founder - Virtual Pursers LLP
Vancouver Island is one of the most tranquil
places, with rugged beaches and eclectic local
communities. It is located off Canada’s Pacific
Coast and is the capital of British Columbia. One
of my favourite attractions in the summer is the
Butchart Gardens which boasts 55 acres of garden
and has 50 full-time gardeners. Along the rocky
coastline, the water is wetsuit temperature all
year round but it is known for some of the best
surf in Canada. During the winter, you’re just a
short drive away from the gorgeous mountain
towns of Whistler and Blackcomb, famous for
their ski slopes. From April to October it’s high
whale watching season, where you are almost
100% guaranteed to see an Orca in its natural
habitat. With friendly people, breath-taking views
and no shortage of exciting activities year-round,
it’s hard not to fall in love with Vancouver Island.

KALYMNOS
Not only the climbing Mecca of Greece but,
also the original home of sponge divers. For
centuries, Kalymnos remained the centre of
the sponge diving industry in Greece, even
though sponge diving was also an important
source of revenue for several other Greek
islands of the Mediterranean.
