Episode Description
Today we welcome Russell Winter @russellwintersurf to The Quivercast Podcast. The greatest surfer Britain’s ever produced, Russell takes us through his incredible journey from growing up in London to moving to the coast and falling in love with surfing after watching the classic film Big Wednesday. From that point on, he was all in. Through hard work and determination, Russell dominated contests throughout Britain and Europe as a teenager, setting his sights on qualifying for the CT — and eventually making that dream a reality.
Russell opens up about life after the tour, dealing with injuries, and how stepping away from professional surfing led him down some difficult paths and unhealthy choices. But in true Russell Winter fashion, the story doesn’t end there. Now in his early 50s, he’s back competing in QS events and still taking down surfers decades younger than him. This episode is packed with stories of perseverance, redemption, and the love of surfing that continues to drive one of the sport’s most legendary underdogs.
