Lewis Clinton Returns from a summer in Europe


Lewis Clinton knows what it takes to make it on the world stage of pro-surfing and the commitment to his goal is ever present. Lewis has recently returned to Cornwall after a summer in Europe, free-surfing and competing in the Pro-Juniors. In his own words:

"I have just returned from a epic summer of waves and sun in France, Spain and Portugal. In May i didn't think i would make it down to Europe this summer but with a little help from my parents i managed to get it together. Now when i think back to the time i had there i am so glad they did. I think for all the experience, great waves and sunshine i had this summer it was probably the best decision i've ever made. I entered all of the pro jr events whilst i was there, not doing too badly but still occasionally getting my ass kicked. My best result was in Portugal, Ericera to be precise where i got to the round of 32 ( one before the money haha) which i was stoked about. I had a great time and can't wait to get back down there to surf the powerful hollow sucky beach breaks, reefs and point breaks europe has to offer."
