Bob McTavish is fond of a yarn, and Jehovah knows he's got a boatload of material, from solo Noosa, to the shortboard revolution, to country soul, 80s insolvency, and 90s revival...and that'll be the surface scratched. Yep, fella has squeezed nine lives into one.

The Perfect Wave travel company has organised a Maldives trip with Bob. To enquire click here.
