Carwyn Williams
An intimate portrait of Welsh surfer Carwyn Williams, who surfed his way to respect amongst the best in the world, and who overcame a devastating car crash injury to keep his surfing dreams alive.
Swansea’s Carwyn Williams dominated the Welsh, British and European surf scene in the 80s as a maverick underdog from Mumbles, who through sheer talent and force of personality surfed his way to respect at the world’s most dangerous locations, including the giant waves of Hawaii and competing against the best in Australia. His biggest achievement, however, was to overcome a devastating injury which threatened to end his career just as it was taking off.
This intimate portrait charts Carwyn’s rise to the top of the sport. A story of pioneering adventure, danger, tragedy, rehabilitation and reinvention.
