I guess you're only as good as the waves.

I don't mind cold water. I mean, it's fine. Wetsuits will serve you these days; it doesn't really matter.

It definitely takes a fair bit of experience to know what's the right kind of wave and which is the wrong wave.

I feel sorry for generations of Labour voters and supporters who must look and wonder what on earth has gone wrong and what Labour is for.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
