Having a cool job is pretty rare. Having two is almost unheard of. Yet when Bruce Seymour is not flying high above the ocean as a captain for Cathay Pacific, he's paddling on it as a surf ski distributor.
It wasn't meant to work out this way, says South African-born Seymour, 46. Growing up, he planned to be just like his talented father, a doctor who represented South Africa in cricket. So he enrolled in medical school and played the national sport.
But after discovering flying at university, he promptly changed careers. Six years ago, he got his first surf ski and hasn't touched a bat since. "[Paddling] is the most wonderful sport, especially in good weather. In the summer I'd much rather be out on the water. When you get hot, you either just roll into the water or stop at the beach and have a swim."
Seymour is also the chief organiser for Paddle for the Planet. The charity event brings together the world's ocean lovers for one day a year on their chosen craft - dragon boats, surf skis, paddle boards and even swimmers - to raise funds and environmental awareness.
For the past two years, Hong Kong has raised the most money, supporting the world's most biodiverse tropical marine region, Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
Although Seymour thinks Hong Kong's coastline is one of the most beautiful in the world, the rubbish floating in the ocean appals him. The matter is close to his heart, and he urges others to take action.
