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.
