Anthony Sattin reporting in The Sunday Times on
July 2, 2000 after
receiving a lesson with us:
"It is one of those experiences, like first-time sex and driving at great speed,
which will stay in the memory. There is a burst of power, a surging, swelling roar of
water, a rush of adrenaline and I hurtle towards the shore on the crest of a wave,
moved beyond my usual element, mixing water and air, where are the cameras, where
are the lights? Because I've got the action."
