Wilma Johnson is an artist, writer, and surfer currently living near Biarritz . She has travelled as much as possible throughout her life, including hitch-hiking to the Northern- most town in the world, and has lived in London, Mexico, Ireland and France. Her first book Surf Mama tells the story of her transformation from earthmother in a fishing village in county Kerry, to Biarritz surf chick in her forties. It’s not a How to Surf manual or an ode to sporting excellence, it’s more of a celebration of the mid-life crisis as a positive thing . It’s about changing your life and stepping way way out of your comfort zone and never thinking you’re too old, too scared or too unfit to try something new.
