Averaging about 60–70 hours on the beach every season, Punter received his bronze medallion when he was 18, soon after his start in banking. His family has a long-time connection at the Club too, with his father and uncles being members back in the early ’70s.
Originally from a central Queensland country town, Punter has lived in Japan, England and Melbourne but, for him, the Sunshine Coast has a great community vibe. “It’s a really nice community within a larger community,” he explains.
“[Broking] is a high-pressure job, so it’s nice to spend a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday morning or afternoon on the beach – you just let go of the finance stuff and stresses of that. There’s a lot more to life than building the castle – contribution is a really big part of what we do as a family.”
