Woolston

BRITISH (FOR NOW) / LISBON, PORTUGAL

James caught the surfing bug at a very young age. Born to windsurfing parents on the stunningly beautiful Isle of Purbeck, he soon discovered Dorset’s premium reef break, Kimmeridge Bay, and the sail and rig became obsolete.

Over the years James has migrated further and further south along Europe’s Atlantic coastline pursuing the perfect life/surf equilibrium. His family now resides 50Km north of Lisbon, Portugal, in farmer country. What James describes is what many of his peers would consider to be the Shangri-La of surfing. “The people in my village have little idea that the coastline is littered with some of the best (secret) surf spots in Europe!” he boasts.
