Dinosaurs and musically talented monkeys... All is possible in my world of Positive Deviance...
When I am not working, I'm trying to catch waves or kitesurf somewhere in Sussex, England or in Guincho, Portugal. I used to surf in the Gold Coast, Australia, but my projects there are finished... sob, sob, sob... This is me when I could still shortboard. Now I ride minimals, which are easier to handle and you don't need to be on top of your physical peak performance... Which is a shame, really.... Maybe one for next year's resolutions..
