Inside those shutters..revealed

Boardies

Hanging loose is the way to go this

summer on the beach.

Here are a few options for boys and girls

who want to take the street to the beach

with some fresh board shorts.

Borat style G- strings, Beckham speedos and

anything pulled up above the hips could run the

risk of a lifeguard mission to remove you

from the beach. Boardies are the go.

Don't change but wear them in the city

with a tee and jacket on the way home.

Pumping Iron

The street gym is not your average gym. We are not

talking about your hi-tech Fitness First here, with

speakers pumping, designer sports wear and Pump and

Pilate's.

These are gyms not for the faint hearted.

Equipment is often rusty and basic, but does the job.

Some are outdoor , with amazing views

(see the famous Bondi beach gym above).

Others are almost underground, like a secret men's

only club, like the ones I stumbled across in

Havana, Cuba.
