Short trip France 2011

What a week! It has been so good to be on these roads again, we thought we wouldn’t make it to france this year…. But we did!! Surf was a fight, as we haven’t been ready for it for sure, but fun fun fun:

Pretty good ride down to Bordeaux, except an early crash from a Truck, damn he lumbered the wood!! 9 hours.

– Day 1: Arrival in Le Pin Sec 00:50 and we went to the beach to chek the ocean… Great feeling! Sleepin at the car (joni oitside after 5 min) was ok.

– Day 2: Surf was messy and chaos. So we decided to go for chill breakfast (honey pops) and drive to Dune de Playa…. Haha, that fat dune is fun!!!
Ride on till Mimizan, MacDonalds for Wireless and first surf.. Pretty huge waves and heavy, well the week should get better…

– Day 3-4: we checked in on a camping for two nights. Surfing our spot at the Parking, walking through the village and making the sickest grill-dinners you can imagine!!! 1-2 beers and enjoying life….. Marvelous.

– Day 5-6: we left Mimizan early saturday and stopped at St.girons next. Homebase with Jonis Peugeot was at a empty carparking in the woods… Pure natur!!! Sleeping outside was nice (and fresh on the nose sometimes). Good thing that the market opened that weekend… BBQ as usual and the surf was still big, but we did our best an had some waves to ride and lot lot more paddle training, as that was good too!

– Day 6-8: A easy drive up till Lacanau, beautiful village, with good italian restaurant and a nice camping (even when it turned out to be a crazy labyrinth). Best surf conditions for the week, we catched some good waves and got the feeling back on.. Yea that trip was sooo worth it.
8 hours back to Switzerland, Basel

There was no day, wait, no minute.. where we did not enjoy the time down there. For me, this is a good sign to be in Indonesia with Joni, we are going to have a blaaaast there!! I’m so excited to go there..

Thank you Joni! It was epic.
