Backwinded

OW's Ad Manager happened to be strolling along the beach at Snapper one day a few weeks ago and came across a most interesting "scene".

The grin looked really familiar but the hairdo (and the eyebrows - Ed.) caught him a bit off guard. Could it in fact be veteran Gold Coast windsurfer and retailer extraordinaire Ian Greenleaf?

Turns out that Ian was working as a stunt double on a soon-to-be-aired kid's drama H2O: Just add water. Apparently his "alter ego" is a teenage windsurfer trying to emulate his father's famed speed dash to a mythical island.

According to the man himself it's all been a bit of fun and not the first time that he's had a starring role on the small screen.

Yeah, I seem to get a call whenever a producer is looking for a stand-in teenage sailor. "And while there's a lot of waiting around involved, the perks are particularly attractive. "But no, I'm not seriously considering a career change,"

So keep your eyes peeled for the launch of H2O on the Ten Network sometime early next year and check out Mr G's "work".
