CYCLING DOWN MEMORY LAYNE

-

ONE of our favourite people is the always effusive surf champ Layne Beachley.

Layne was with husband Kirk Pengilly (above) at the Wyndham Vacation Resorts end of year celebratio­ns and the talk turned to memorable Christmas presents. “Mine was a Malvern Star bike I got one year.

“I pimped it out with ‘spokey dokeys’ on the wheels and streamers for the handle bars and rode it everywhere.

“It was only later that I worked out why my father got it for me. At the time I was learning to ride a skate board and always coming home with injuries. He probably thought it would save on Band-Aids and trips to the doctor,” she joked.
