For many years Peter was the voice of windsurfing on Sky TV commentating on the PWA World Tour events. It was job which produced some interesting situations:

"It was a bit of a con really. Each week the anchor lady would set the event up and then introduce me by saying something like 'and now over to Pete on the beach in Maui' and we have this jokey chat about the weather and this and that. The truth is that the event had usually happened about 6 weeks before and I was commentating to the edited highlights from a cramped voice-over booth in Putney. Also a few friends had noted that the exchanges between me and the girl were becoming quite flirtatious and enquired if we were 'an item.' The fact is that we'd never actually met. She'd come in to record her voice on a Tuesday and I'd do mine on the Wednesday and the bits were edited together. The power of technology!"

The fact that Peter was also competing in many of the PWA events produced the odd moment.

"The producer was careful to schedule things so I wouldn't be commentating on an event I was in, or that really would give the game away. But on one occasion due to a late change of plan, that didn't happen and I found myself reporting on the slalom at Sotavento where I was lining up for the final. It was too late to get anyone else so I ended up doing it under a pseudonym in a strange mid Atlantic drawl. As far as I know, no one rubmbled us!"

Peter also commentates live at events such as the London Boatshow and at selected stops on the PWA windsurfing tour - sometimes under a little duresse:

"The Boatshow is a lot of fun. Everything is close that you can build a great rapport with the audience. The action is fast and furious and there's always something to get excited about. Also I'm quite happy to be stood watching. It's hard work in the pool, I'm too heavy and would be crap at it. But at the outdoor events, like the PWA wave contest in Ireland, I was climbing the wall. For three days I had to watch everyone rip up the most perfect conditions and every time I had a break where I could go out, the wind either dropped, or it got dark!"
