Frank at his best in Hossegor
Riding through the vines
St Emilon, BourdeauxThe last week has been a little bit of a cultural education / experience, basically we have been eating and drinking a shit load, waves have been flat for 10 days so its been vinyards, churches / buildings and pixos (basque tapas) and some red wine as well.
We have moved on now and are happily residing in Bakio (which is just over the hill from Mundaka for the surfers reading), Mundaka was breaking today apparently, 2-3 ft but the onshore came up so i stayed in Bakio where the waves were pretty sweet, reminded me of Piha actually; rippy as hell. Getting to know Bakio now, have got the tides sussed out, good bars and cafes worked out which is a nicer way of traveling rather than staying at a place just for the night where you don't really get the feel of the place and locals.
We will stay around the western basque region for the next week untill we head back to St Sebastion and Zarutz on the 1st Sept for the QS there.
