14 years of salt, strings & stoke 🏄‍♂️🎸

Newquay 22nd March 2026.

Caught this absolute legend outside The Sailors in Newquay.

Self-proclaimed surfer, musician, and proud owner of a 14-year untouched mane flowing wild under that bucket hat.

Zero haircuts, maximum good vibes.

Still smiling like he just caught the wave of the day and wrote a song about it on the way back to shore.

Proper Newquay character. The kind of face that tells a thousand stories without saying a word.

My First official Street Portrait

I visited the local Sailors of Newquay for a sit-down pint and to watch the world go by, a gentleman beside me on another table with his French Bulldog request I look after his pint while he visited the gents, chatting to him on his return I found out he was partially blind and the dog was his guide dog in a sense all though I think it had less directional sense than him, any how turned out he had moved from London to Newquay a once prosperous hair Stylest now in Newquay. The other chap arrived a little later, full of character and charisma, 14 years of hair growth, just come from a surf session 51 years of age and an occasional musician, I had 1 pint with them requested a photograph then made my way back around town forgetting the names but not the pleasantries of conversation.
