I'm a Big Fan of the GARMIN GPS Watch. In 2007 I just got back from all the Paddleboard Races in Hawaii and was looking for a Training Watch " hard to find" there was a Triathlete's Watch on the market But me no into Triathlons (to much training involved for that sport) - Anyway I was working North Burleigh Lifeguard Tower, August 2007.

I was getting ready for a 10 kilometre or 6 mile Bare Feet Beach Run in my lunch break I get 60 minutes for lunch & the run takes me 43 minutes. Anyway The Legend Kenny Wallace rocks up to do my Lunch break. After my run I get back to the Lifeguard Tower, I see Kenny Wallace playing with this watch it was the first 305 GARMIN GPS Sports Watch "I was intrigued" Kenny says the AIS "Australian Institute of Sport gave then to us for training purposes. I said I want one and quickly went on line to eBay & purchased my very first GARMIN GPS Sports Watch.

I tell you the day I got that GARMIN Watch you needed a year 12 education just to work it out on the Computer. Me I only have a 6 grade education so it took me a little while to work it out.

Then here I am telling everyone about my GARMIN GPS Sports Watch. So now everyone from Currumbin even my friends on Maui were burning & laughing at me "not to worry" by 2010 everyone that was burning me had a GARMIN Watch on there wrist.


I've had a few GARMIN Watches since 2007 - I've got the Garmin forerunner 955 watch now. Even have the Garmin Edge 1030 for my Mountain Bike and the DriveSmart 86, 8-inch Car GPS



One time I purchased the GARMIN 310 GPS in 2010 on eBay and got "RIPPED OFF" - cut a long story short I phoned PayPal they said we have No Recollection of this payment - I said really because I have my Credit Card Statement in my left hand here's the serial number, I will see you in court - then I contacted eBay. eBay are very hard to contact, I did get eBays cell number through a close solicitor friend of the family. I leave a message on eBays answering service eBay gets back to me with 12 hours saying you can't take us to court we are not responsible. I said yes you are because I had to go through you eBay to buy the watch of the seller - So I ironphil was the first person in History to Sue eBay & PayPal yes they settled out of court BUT changed there laws thanks to me. I did find the seller he was from Israel so I sent him a nice response for ripping me off. I said there is only one thing Hitler didn't do to all you Jews is @#@# & @#@# that you's all, you @#@# thief, I was so angry.

Kenny Wallace is an Olympic gold medalist in canoeing. He achieved this remarkable feat at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, where he won a gold medal in the K1 500m Kayak Sprint. Additionally, he secured a bronze medal in the K1 1000m event, showcasing his versatility and skill in the sport

I see Kenny Wallace & his Gold Medal buddies kayak past my place every morning around 6:00am while I have my coffee.













I spoke to Kenny Wallace just a couple of days before my 2026 Downwind MAUI Tour. Kenny Wallace now travels the world as a Guest Speaker he said I'm kind of over the traveling as it's a busy schedule.
