About

Far from the stereotypes of burnouts and beach bums, Wasted Talent — a retail space, café, publishing house and creative studio — presents a view of surf life beyond the sea and into the cocktail bars of Lisbon, discotheques of Berlin and the sultry afternoons of Spain. Founded by Liverpool-born, Hossegor-based Ben Snowden-Boyd and Cornwall-born, Biarritz-based Alexei Obolensky. Wasted Talent has drawn together a sophisticated surf community to the shores of southern France.
