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 sent someone out in the sea.
00:24We don't need you. This bit's just for me.
00:26Oh, 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, wait.
00:42You should get this on camera.
00:44I'm riding really fast.
00:49Awesome. Just driftwood.
00:51I thought I might have been a baby.
00:53Let's not.
01:15I'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 a bit out of the league. I'm not really ordinary, dude.
01:32What?
01:33Maybe go for Pete. He's more your ordinary kind of guy.
01:38You exercise a lot, I'm guessing.
01:42I'm sorry.
01:43...
01:45...
01:46...
01:58Hey, man. We hear you saved the hell out of a piece of driftwood.
02:01Did you call Driftwood's parents, man?
02:04Hello? Hello?
02:05Stupid. Stupid.
02:07Don't film those guys, man.
02:09Driftwood doesn't even have parents.
02:11It's like, no idea.
02:13Get out of there.
02:15Your negativity, dudes.
02:17Turn it into something positive, yeah?
02:19Terry is well known for his rather positive outlook on life.
02:22See you put yourself on the poster there.
02:26Yeah, dude, that's me.
02:28It's all about the pause.
02:31It's Terry Pohl.
02:31But you would have noticed when they're hassling me,
02:33I'm like, whoa, whoa, just dodging those hassles
02:35as they're coming through.
02:36I can feel.
02:38You ever see The Matrix?
02:40Yeah.
02:40That's what they're doing that.
02:44That's my locker.
02:46Believe in yourself.
02:48You hear that, dude?
02:49Yeah, I hear it.
02:50Believe in yourself.
02:51Believe, believe, believe in yourself.
02:53Huh?
02:54So here's all my stuff.
02:55There's my towel.
02:56So that's the sort of thing, basically, when we get wet,
02:59you need to dry yourself straight away.
03:01You know, see, use this.
03:02I use this to dry my whole body,
03:03and I end with my hair.
03:06Give it a full scenario on the hair.
03:08Yeah, this is a book.
03:09I'm not reading it.
03:10I actually thought this was a VHS cassette when I got it.
03:13It was so huge, but it turns out it's actually the book.
03:16I wanted Gone with the Wind on tape,
03:17but, I mean, who would read that?
03:20Look at that.
03:20You can't even really see the words.
03:21So tiny.
03:22It's like, I'll use that for weights.
03:25Coto.
03:27Here's my portfolio.
03:29Nice.
03:30Oh, wow.
03:32Terry pole.
03:34Yeah, dude.
03:35That's all my modelling.
03:37Legs.
03:37All legs.
03:39Yep.
03:39Legs 11, they call me.
03:41Best pins in the business.
03:43Wow.
03:44That's me advertising Fiji.
03:46You heard of Fiji, dude?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Sweet, so that worked.
03:50And tomorrow, of course, is a big day.
03:54What's happening tomorrow?
03:58Serious, dude.
03:59Yeah, what's that?
04:01Sexy legs competition, man.
04:04I've won it four times.
04:072008, it's 2009.
04:09Pretty happy on the beach there.
04:10I couldn't believe I won it the second time in a row.
04:142010, on top of the world.
04:16Nothing could kick my butt.
04:18And then 2012, dude.
04:19Full studio shot.
04:21What happened to 2011?
04:26Got beaten.
04:31Sorry to hear that.
04:32Yeah.
04:43I don't know.
04:44I don't know.
04:44Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
04:46Okay.
04:46The sexy legs competition, all right?
04:48I'm on the stage.
04:49Yes.
04:50I present the legs, okay?
04:51They're judged on finesse, style.
04:54I want to take it international.
04:56I want to bring the trophies home.
04:58So you're after travel insurance?
04:59Well, I want leg insurance.
05:01And what are the dangers?
05:02I mean, why do you need leg insurance?
05:04I mean, what?
05:04I'm a lifeguard.
05:05Okay, so I'm out there.
05:06I'm doing all the standards, you know, running, jumping, a lot of sea hopping.
05:09Sharks, is that a problem?
05:10Oh, well, we haven't seen any sharks in the bay, but, you know, you've got...
05:13Well, that's how they operate, isn't it, sharks?
05:14They don't make themselves known to you.
05:17They lurk, don't they?
05:19Culling bastards, sharks.
05:20And then they pounce when you're least expecting it.
05:22So I lost my first wife.
05:25You've got to keep positive, man.
05:27Yeah, I'm more of a glass half-empty kind of bloke, to be honest.
05:30Be positive.
05:30Get that glass full, yeah?
05:32Sit on the top of the water of that glass and look over the edge and realise that the air
05:36is coming in your face.
05:36Tell that to my second wife.
05:38She was making meatballs, now she's in a coma.
05:40I don't even know how that happens.
05:43I don't even know how that happens, but it did.
05:45And she can cook, I got a bather, I got a washer.
05:48The sex is, well, the sex is exactly as it was before, to be honest, mediocre.
05:53This is where your negativity comes, right?
05:55It comes from this situation.
05:57You've got to change your situation.
06:00See this?
06:01Yeah.
06:02Look at that.
06:03That's your one back home, right?
06:05My wife?
06:05Yeah, hide it.
06:06Hide it, tuck it out of there.
06:07See, it's gone.
06:08Once that's gone, look at all the other women that are left in the world.
06:11See?
06:12These are all the other women?
06:12Yeah, look, look at them all.
06:13I like that one over here.
06:15You like that one?
06:15Yeah.
06:16That's yours.
06:17Well, what's her name?
06:18Roxy Hanna.
06:19Is she a stripper?
06:20No, dude.
06:21No?
06:21She's got a career.
06:23I have to say, you're turning me around.
06:25Yeah.
06:26When you first came in, I thought wanker, but I have to say it's...
06:30That's cool.
06:30Yeah.
06:32Listen, um...
06:32Let's do the legs!
06:33Let's look at the legs.
06:34I need to...
06:37Okay.
06:39I wasn't expecting that, but...
06:43Oh!
06:46Yeah?
06:47You done?
06:48So these are the...
06:49These are them.
06:50That's the legs?
06:51Left and right.
06:52Well, the head office have given me a checklist.
06:55I just need to run through, if you're happy to.
06:58You just need to take a closer look at them.
07:00Yeah, absolutely, man.
07:03I notice there's a scratch or scar there.
07:06Yeah, that's minor.
07:08Okay, what calls that?
07:09Yeah, I think that was an insect.
07:11An insect?
07:12That'll go.
07:12That'll go.
07:13Well, yes, you say that, but...
07:16Insect scar.
07:20Can I...
07:20Do you mind if I touch there?
07:21Yeah, touch away.
07:23And you can...
07:24Yeah.
07:25Now, I'm noticing some discoloration.
