Hendaye, France
By herwig, 2009-05-14 14:30:00
Bad south wind
Hendaye is a goos spot when the other breaks are too high or bumpy. Unfortunately the wind came sideshore fm south so it was closing out. Boogie boarders and tourists tried to smash their boards and bodies. Nothing for me....

Lafitenia alone !
I never surfed Lafitenia and didn't knew where it was. This morning, I wake up early and, with a good map, I went to this spot. It was empty and beautiful 1.20 m glassy waves were breaking. I just ran on the road and jumped into the water. I wa

Camping in/around Biarritz?
Are there any public camp sites in Biarritz or is it ok to camp near the beach? One close to the surf would be preferred. Cheers!
