The Day "Surf Mama" Came to Achill Island
Wilma Johnson, Author, called into visit us at LoveAchill during the summer, and very kindly left a signed copy of her new book "Surf Mama" with us. The book tells the true account of Wilma making the brave decision that after years of being a surf widow she was going to don the wetsuit, grab a board and hit the waves. This decision was made at forty something years of age, and took a while to go from the wine bar and the art studio to the French waves. Wilma starts up a surf club with a few like minded friends and trades one of her paintings for a surf board and so it all begins. The book really is a great read and all they way through you are wanting Wilma to succeed because she comes across as someone you would love to have at a dinner party or even at a good session in a proper pub. Well done Wilma and keep surfing Mama..!
