THE ONLY OTHER BEARDED MAN IN FRANCE.

CELEBRATE




***Late celebration to the French independence day.. What an event, literally shooting fireworks over thousands of people, half pleasure and half worried about copping a cracker in the face... Amazing day of adventuring.

Core 'S' Air Surf Shop


***Big thanks to the Core 'S' Air surf shop for taking such good care of me... Rewrote my thoughts about the French... If you have a chance to check the shop out its well worth the trek to Saint Jean De Luz. One of the best selection in boards I've seen in ages.


I LIKE

VIVE NATURLISTE

***Apologies for slack blog zone... Been on the road in Spain and basically internet free... Which is always a treat. I'll do my best to catch up on the adventures... To start off, I'll highlight the nude surf fest we had in Montalivet... Here is a shot of the bike lot at the beach....


**This was a incognito look the other way and shot photo, since it was illegal to take photos... Well guess you can say I got more than I was expecting from the shot, but the graffiti was amazing...

***Our amigo Thomas runs a few surf schols in the area and one is in the nudist camp. Raddest part was that his dad runs it butt naked.. So classic. Got totally in the spirit and jammed a 2 hour session in front of thousands of natural beach goers. When Colin and I came in, two French came and informed us we were the first people they had seen in 15 years surf naked... Classic......

BEACH CASTLES and HUMANOIDS



BEST FRITES IN THE WORLD

MORNING MARKET CREATURE

***Introduced Colin to the Montalivet morning market. After some Morrocco Mint tea, this incredible beast crossed my path. Wisdom and love calm as the nights sky.

TRAVEL NORTH


***Last minute decision to re-visit our friends at Spyder surf up North... Hopped the morning train and blissed out to some Fat Freddy's drop and sketch book goodness. As we approached the Bayonne station the train suddenly hit the brakes and thud... The moment felt weird and the cabin went along its business, we stopped a few minutes later at the central station and we informed by some Danish tourist that some one had jumped in front of the tracks and took their life's. Here is Colin and I passing the time while they cleaned up the scene and got the train back running towards Bordeaux... A great reminder to live each day to the fullest.

****Exiting the Bordeaux train station... A truly enchanted village.
