BBC Radio 4 - Life Changing, Dead calm

Will is in the Solomon Islands surfing spectacular waves - then the sea disappears.

Will’s 19 and, fresh from school, travels to the Solomon Islands in search of adventure and unridden waves to surf. It’s paradise until one morning the sea disappears.

When Will Darby left school in 2007 his peers all headed to university but Will wanted something different so he went travelling in search of remote, unknown, and unridden waves to surf. Will built himself an idyllic life in the Solomon Islands but after just a few weeks everything came crashing down in an event that would create a lifelong bond with the island and its inhabitants.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
