Last time you spent a whole day not thinking about work?
NB: I am not sure I could remember that day. I went on a holiday around New Year, I was surfing and sailing so if it happened it may have been then but probably not. I can’t not think about the business that is the way I am wired. I am in the water everyday, that is what I do, I count that as part of my work. So I would have to say years ago!
Last time you sailed until your body could not take anymore?
NB: That would be about fifteen minutes these days! I’d say that was the wild session we had in January when it was pretty full on conditions but that only lasted about an hour. I don’t have that much time these days to be able to say or do that!
Last board you really loved?
NB: I have two and I can’t split them apart. My 81 Triwave or my 82 Quad they are the ones I roll backwards and forwards on depending on the conditions. My ultimate favourite board which is dearest to me is my Aloha Classic winning board. That was a Mark Nelsen custom which he made for me. It was a bit special obviously. I still have it and would never let that one go.
Last time you prayed?
NB: Everyday! I am normally saying dear God help me in one way or another! Like God please don’t flash this speeding camera as I go through it or some daft thing like that. Seriously I have always had a religious side to me ever since I was a kid. It is more I suppose for my children and my family if I am honest with you than for actual personal gain.
