We had the pleasure of spending a slow morning with James Otter for Barbour, joining him at his local surf spot and workshop in Porthtowan, Cornwall.

We wanted to keep things simple, taking a step back and allowing James and his craft to tell the story. Rather than overcomplicating things, we quietly observed his process, capturing an honest glimpse into his world and the care, patience and craftsmanship that goes into making his wooden surfboards.
