Name: Zoee Smith Age: 25 and getting on. Home town: Almost Saltburn By The Sea Home break: Saltburn By The Sea What did you really wish for this Christmas? Classic north east winter swell, where the water is cold and the crowds disappear. Where was the last place you surfed? At home. What's your best tip for keeping fit this winter? Keep getting in the water, there is only one way to maintain paddle fitness and that is to continue paddling! Who's cool in your opinion? Most people in their own bizarre, quirky way. Are you going on a winter trip if so where? Winter is the best season for staying at home, as the water warms up that's when a trip is often required-usually Outer Hebs. Name your top four must have items to take on a trip? Easy, board (incl leash), sun cream, wheels to get you to the breaks and friends - just make sure their four things are different to yours. Everyone's a winner. What was the last thing you bought? A new house. What's the best thing that happened to you in 2006? I quit my job and turned my life into a beach. And your New Years resolutions are... Travel more, surf more and live a lot.
