Did you ever try and describe someone and feel like you are describing a character from a movie, rather than a real person?

Al Mennie, is 6 foot 5, looks like a Viking and is a professional big wave surfer, model and author from Castlerock in Northern Ireland.

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a big wave surfer so I’m intrigued to find out what that really means.

Al talks about his ‘fear threshold’ and how his experience in the sea has given him serious self belief - and how he puts that into practice on land.

Al says…

“If you can face your fears or anxiety and can explain how, then do what you can to help the next person.”
