That story by McT is a genuine classic..yes it's been told a zillion times and in print, but to hear it from the mans vocal chords is A1.
I was up at Greeny many years ago ( 2004) after dropping my then 18yo son at Surfers for Schoolies. I was staying o/nite so went to the lookout atop of Greenmount hill and was looking at the surf...this little dog comes up to me wagging his tail, asking for a pat which I obliged him with, then the owner sides up and we chat surf for about 10 minutes..then I look at him and the penny drops..It's McT, so we chat more about mutual friends and general stuff, then he's off to pick up his Mrs at the airport. Just one of those moments..a very pleasent guy.

Funny as at the time I was riding a McT Jason Blewitt model and really loved that board.
