Beskrivelse
'The pain and passion of a lifetime dedicated to speed on land and water told from the heart in no-bullshit fashion' - Dieter Rencken, F1 journalist.
Troubled by a lack of self-confidence, Peter's 'average' childhood holds a bitter parent who doubts his abilities, a demanding school system forcing him to fit the mould, a younger brother who's better at everything, and brutal, undeserved beatings with a sjambok. But when he tastes the buzz of barefoot water skiing, he finds it impossible to resist... little does he know the vast amount of magic that will transpire from the thrill and send him plummeting deep into an infatuation with a sport that few understand and many envy.
He did not expect to break the world barefoot ramp jump record in under four years.
Despite counting on pins and metal to hold his battered body intact, being arrested unjustly, a serious car racing accident which went up in flames and a brain haemorrhage, Peter keeps going flat out and quickly ranks up on the international championship charts, cheats death twice, presses the reset button to positively influence a failed marriage and dominates the retail boating scene of South Africa.
His cut-to-the-chase life journey rendered him one bionic man, proud of his blatant honesty and fearless quest to uplift and transform the lives of the downtrodden.
