Squirrel
Name: Squirrel aka squirrel's eye view
Age: 39 and one quarter...
Job: Seeker of Peace and Gay Dad.
Years Surfing: Long enough to have developed exostosis; Eh? What was that? You talking to me?
Habitat: Usually the lower littoral zone on the ebb fighting for scraps with the herring gulls
Boards: 4
Quiver: Stewart, Neville, Snowy and a board that has no name (isn't that unlucky or something?)
Local Break: The bays of rest and cone
Places Surfed: The bays of rest and cone. And Malibu (that was nice). Oh and Guethary (and that was nice). Err, and Lagundri Bay (which was....nice)
Favourite Surf Films: "Wet Dreams - A Surf Extravaganza by Surfing Squirrel"
Worst Wipeout: Mmmm. Probably the one in the shorebreak at rest a month ago. Stood up to find some guy pointing and laughing.
Favourite Manoeuvre: 30 second hang tens and Elvis hip wiggles (sometimes simultaneously)
Worst Surfing Habit: Being a bit of ponce at spot x. Putting too much wax on. Making party hats out of seaweed. Thinking that fish keep kissing my feet. Seeing sharks at coney. Leash paranoia - its gonna curl I tell thee...
Best Surfing Experience: Recently: The Bonzai Festival of Fetishism, Croyde 2006. Less recently: Get 'Arry with the Dark Lord. And several Pembs trips back in the late eighties when Mart used to know me as "Uncle Squirrel".
Weirdest Surfing Experience: I'm uncertain what constitutes " weird", as (some say) my weird-stick is a little wonky.
Other Interests: Hunting cats and sneaking off. Oh, and trying to raise 3 well-adjusted intelligent beings, which given their paternal genetics, is proving to be quite a challenge.
