Episode 017: Ben Skinner - The Feeling of Surfing

Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com

Episode 017! How did that happen? This time I headed down to Newquay to speak to Ben Skinner, world-renowned longboarder, the man behind Skindog Surfboards and all round UK surf legend.

Ben and the boys were super welcoming and after showing me around the factory we sat down and went back over his life and career. Up for discussion - the current state of longboarding, the ethos behind Skindog Surfboards, his impatience with people who try to limit what other people ride, and just why he was so pissed off about a recent article slating the state of UK surfing.

Ben is forthright, funny, opinionated and all round good company, so this is a free-wheeling, entertaining chinwag on surfing and much more. Enjoy.
