FACTS

Thruster didn't take up surfing until he was 19, but soon became hooked and was determined to let neither a late start, nor a remarkable dearth of natural talent stand in his way. Now aged 36 he still sincerely believes it is only a matter of time before he becomes world champion.

Also obsessed with snowboarding, at which he is marginally more impressive - he can stand up. Thruster has been writing surfing and extreme sports articles for 12 years. His next journalistic challenge is to write a good one.
