She wanted to stay at her place mostly so she could surf, and I loved Potts Point with all the bars and the city and the noise. Expressing vulnerability is hard for her.
Then she really sank her teeth into public speaking, and is fantastic at it.For the first five years we were together she lived in her house at Curl Curl [on Sydney’s northern beaches] and I was in inner-city Potts Point. I got so bored.
But we’d drunk a bit, and she got the hiccups on the way home, and I found that endearing.At one stage I went to the bathroom and considered crawling out the window to get away. He’s had to educate me on what weeds are.He’s still very different to me.

And if he walks down to get a coffee, on the way back he’ll find a beautiful frangipani and put it on my computer.At first, I knew nothing about surfing or contests. She’s quite an inspiring person.After that, we let our defences down.

Layne Beachley has found happiness with her husband Kirk (Image: WireImage) Layne said: “I wanted to know who he was. I think because she’d been a solo performer all her career, she learnt to deal with things herself. But it’s not like that with surfing, which is my creative outlet and relaxation. When she lost a heat, I saw that she’d stall on the beach, to avoid fans or the cameras, because quite often she’d be having a cry. But I don’t even see them. I wanted to see how grounded he was, so we went ten-pin bowling at Sydney’s Dee Why RSL, then to an Italian restaurant where he started talking to me about surfing. All his clothes are beautifully hung: the long sleeved shirts together; his jeans in one spot.

So we experienced each other’s professional life and came out of it with huge respect for one another.When she retired from pro surfing, in 2008, it left a big hole in her life. Winner of a record seven women's world championships, she also blazed trails in the mountainous waves of Hawaii's outer reefs, earning respect where it mattered most - in the water.

Beneath the surface of the happy, positive public persona is a story of loss, redemption and the search for identity, revealing the intimate details of how Layne and her birth mother, Maggie, found each other twenty-seven years after her birth, the highs and many lows on their quest for reconciliation and the dark secret of Maggie's past.
Layne Beachley's story is a testimony to the power of self-belief. I’ll open something and leave it on the kitchen bench. It is also a love story, describing how Layne fell in and out of love with Hawaiian big-wave rider Ken Bradshaw and found true happiness with INXS rock star Kirk Pengilly. I’d recently ended a relationship with [big wave surfer] Ken Bradshaw, who was very serious, but Kirk loved to laugh at himself.
I’ve grown and changed a lot because of her.”I feel our relationship is a good case of how opposites attract.
After a week or two, he’ll say, “How long is this going to live here?”I taught him how to surf once: I put him in a rip and he panicked and had a dummy spit.

It turned out that her biological mum was 17 when she had Layne: she later told Layne that it had been date rape, and so she didn’t know who the father was. Layne’s immediate reaction was that she was not loved. I’ve grown and changed a lot because of her. When we decided to move in together we looked for a place, and of course it had to be near the beach, preferably with a view.
