00:04This country has rough shores, and it takes a tough person to stand up to the elements.
00:09You have to be strong and courageous.
00:11Plus, New Zealand doesn't have many people, so every last one is precious.
00:16Today I meet a man whose job it is to save those precious lives.
00:20Dude, sorry, dude. I know you need me for this bit, but I've just seen someone out in the sea.
00:24We don't need you. This bit's just for me, so you can...
00:27Oh, dude, dude, I better go. I think he is bobbing up and down.
00:29No, go.
00:30I'm torn. I want to help you out with the film.
00:32If you need to save someone, go. This bit's just for me. I don't need you.
00:36Capture this!
00:37Yeah, we're...
00:42You should get this on camera!
00:44I'm riding really fast.
00:49Awesome! It's just driftwood!
00:51I thought it might have been a baby!
00:53But it's not!
01:16I'm spending the day with Terry Pohl. He's a lifeguard who enjoys saving lives and staying in shape.
01:22Is this like a reality show?
01:24No, it's more of a documentary. We're just following around ordinary New Zealanders.
01:28Ordinary?
01:29Yeah.
01:30Might be better out of the league. I'm not really ordinary, dude.
01:32What?
01:33Maybe go for Pete. He's more, yeah, an ordinary kind of guy.
01:39You exercise a lot, I'm guessing.
01:43I'm sorry.
01:43But he's holding a book...
01:45And decent...
01:54Ay, man, we hear you saved the hell out of a piece of driftwood.
02:02Did you call driftwood's parents, man?
02:05Stupid!
02:06Stupid!
02:08Don't film those guys, man.
02:09Driftwood doesn't even have parents.
02:10it's like no idea. Get out of there. Your negativity dudes, turn it into something
02:17positive, yeah? Terry is well known for his rather positive outlook on life. See you put
02:23yourself on the poster there. Yeah dude, that's me. It's all about the pause, Terry Pohl.
02:32You would have noticed when they're hassling me, I'm like whoa, just dodging those hassles
02:35as they're coming through. I can feel. You ever seen the Matrix? Yeah. That's what they do
02:41in that. That's my locker. Believe in yourself. You hear that dude? I hear it. Believe in yourself.
02:51Believe, believe, believe in yourself. Huh? So here's all my stuff, here's my towel, so that's
02:56the sort of thing, basically when we get wet, you need to dry yourself straight away, you
03:01know, to use this, I use this to dry my whole body and I end with my hair.
03:05Give it a full scenario on the hair. Yeah, this is a book. I'm not reading it. I actually
03:11thought this was a VHS cassette when I got it. It was so huge, but it turns out it's
03:15actually the book. I wanted Gone with the Wind on tape, but I mean, who would read that?
03:20Look at that. I can't even really see the words, so tiny. It's like, I use that for weights.
03:25Hello. Here's my portfolio. Nice. Oh wow. Terry Pohl. Yeah dude.
03:35That's all my modelling. Legs? All legs? Yep. Legs 11, they call me. Best pins in the
03:42business. Wow. That's me advertising Fiji. You heard of Fiji, dude? Yeah. Sweet, so that
03:49worked. And tomorrow, of course, is a big day. Wow. What's happening tomorrow?
03:58Serious, dude? Yeah, what's that? What's that? Sexy legs competition, man. I've won it four
04:05times. 2008, it's 2009. Pretty happy on the beach there. I couldn't believe I won it second
04:12time in a row. 2010, on top of the world, nothing could kick my butt. And then 2012, dude.
04:19Full studio shot. What happened to 2011? Got beaten. Sorry to hear that. Yeah.
04:43I don't know. I don't know. Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. Okay. The sexy
04:47legs competition, all right? I'm on the stage. Yes. I present the legs, okay? They're judged
04:52on finesse, style. Yes. I want to take it international. I want to bring the trophies
04:57home. So you're after travel insurance? Well, I want leg insurance. And what are the dangers?
05:02I mean, why do you need leg insurance? I mean, what? I'm a lifeguard, okay? So I'm
05:06out there. I'm doing all the standards, you know, running, jumping, a lot of sea hopping.
05:09Sharks, is that a problem? Well, we haven't seen any sharks in the bay, but, you know, you've
05:13got... Well, that's how they operate, isn't it, sharks? They don't make themselves known
05:16to you. They lurk, don't they? Culling bastards, sharks. And then they pounce when you're least
05:21expecting it. So I lost my first wife. You've got to keep positive, man. Yeah, I'm more
05:27of a glass half-empty kind of bloke, to be honest. Be positive. Get that glass full, yeah?
05:32Sit on the top of the water of that glass and look over the edge and realise that the
05:35air's coming in your face. So that's my second wife. She was making meatballs, now she's in
05:39a coma. Man. I don't even know how that happens. I don't even know how that happens, but it
05:44did. And she can cook, I got a bather. Yeah. I got a washer. The sex is... Well, the sex
05:51is
05:51exactly as it was before, to be honest. Mediocre. This is where your negativity comes, right?
05:55It comes from this situation. You've got to change your situation. See this? Yeah. Look
06:03at that. That's your one back home, right? My wife? Yeah. Hide it. Tuck it out of there.
06:07See, it's gone. Once that's gone, look at all the other women that are left in the world.
06:11See? These are all the other women? Yeah, look. Look at them all. I like that one over
06:14here. You like that one? Yeah. That's yours. Well, what's her name? Roxy Hanna. Is she a
06:20stripper? No, dude. No? She's got a career. I have to say, you're turning me round. Yeah.
06:26When you first came in, I thought wanker, but I have to say, it's... That's cool. Yeah.
06:32Listen, um... Let's do the legs. Let's look at the legs. I need to... Okay. I wasn't expecting
06:40that, but... Oh. Yeah? You done? So these are the... These are them? That's the legs? Left
06:54you're giving me a checklist. I just need to run through, if you're happy to. You need
06:58to take a closer look at them. Yeah. Absolutely, man. There's a... I notice there's a... a scratch
07:05or scar there. Yeah. That's... that's... that's mine. Okay. What calls that? Yeah. I think
07:10that was an insect. An insect? That'll go. That'll go. Well, yes. You say that, but... Insect.
07:17Scar. Can I... Do you mind if I touch the... Yeah. Touch away. And you can
07:24see... Yeah. Now, I'm noticing some discolouration.
07:54Yeah.
08:22Don't say...
