What's your most embarrassing moment?

The hot sweaty, wake up in the middle of the night stuff, heart pounding at the memory of it? That sort of thing? The one you wish you hadn’t done… what a **** aargh!!!! Ja, with a fly off the edge, loose mouth like mine, it’s a daily occurrence – problem is, they just keep happening, but, with help, I’m learning to live with it.


What's the best piece of advice you've received?

Can’t think of some classy shoo wow comment that’ll endear me to deep thinking people – hmmmm….’Enjoy the ride’ maybe?


What's your secret indulgence?

Hows this question… then its not a secret anymore. OK, until my last keystroke it used to be sushi, sauvignon blanc, port from Portugal, good writing paper, Dickens, haunting cello, an Islay single malt in a Noordhoek Cave during the worst storm, - I digress – I think I’ve said too much already.


Who has influenced you most?

Madiba – he’s the man


What's a typical Sunday morning like for you?

Cursing the night before, swearing to go easy for the rest of my life, coffee, wetsuit, board on roof, wake family, check conditions, coffee, chocolate croissants, New York Times and Travel sections, coffee into flask, surf all day, Actually – this could be any day…
