Kommentarer till R.I.P. MP

Boken "The Life" skriven av Malcolm Knox är inspirerad av Michael Petersons liv. En av dom bästa böcker jag har läst, fångar Australiens surfscen på 70-talet, den där speciella dragningskraften som havet har på oss och hur psykisk sjukdom ställer till det i skallen på dom som drabbas.

"His life was on the water. He could talk to the water and he knew every wave that was coming and which one to take. Nobody else mattered when he was on that water."

Although he had not surfed for more than 20 years, Peterson said in an interview for the book Bells, the beach, the contest, the surfers, that he still had dreams about surfing, including some about Bells Beach and Winki Pop. "I didn't mind the cold, (it was) good in the winter time," he said.
