Sandskater Road Trip: Hossegor!

July 23, 2010

Here's the 2nd update from the road!

We left Oleron within 24 hours of arriving, mainly due to lack of surf. So we are writing this now from the Cream Cafe in Seignosse, Hossegor.

The surf has been pumping down here, but the weather has been overcast, but at least its warm. Matt has been in for a skim on the demi-liner at Les Estagnots, and Adam has been in for three or four fun surfs in head high waves, all in boardies!

Currently we are both horrendously hungover from a heavy session at the Cream Cafe last night which was put on by Etnies skate company, with free beer and clothing. Being English, we were first at the bar for the beer, and the banter with the French was hilarious. Regrets have occurred today though.

We are planning to leave for Portugal some time early next week, so when we have access to electricity (Matt broke the inverter on the first day!) so you can expect a video update then.

Shout out to Ben and Jenna, good luck with your new sprogling, make a post on the forums when the kid drops so we know about it!

Also shout out to Fozzie who has provided the tunes for the road trip, and he has done a sterling job - thanks buddy!

Here's some of the photos from the trip so far.

Au revoir for now!
