Is the finger really the future of interactivity? (Thanks, A.)
1. That wave is in Europe. In case anyone thought it was Hawaii, Indonesia etc. Portugal’s Atlantic coast. Earlier this week.
2. The surfer – Garrett McNamara has huge testicles made entirely of steel. Fact.
3. He is also a brilliant bloke – here’s a link to the work he and his crew do with autistic kids: http://www.garrettmcnamara.com/blog/?p=271#.Trpq3Bua-Ig.facebook
Not a fan of surfing, but I always thought this was one of the best openings to a film. ‘Billabong Odyssey’ – in the cinema that wave looked immense!

New John Lewis ad.
Nicely done.

If you liked the Billabong film then you might like this. Two things you should know:
1 Laird Hamilton is an absolute beast of a man.
2 Teahupoo is the Polynesian for ‘broken skulls’
