Description:

How can I describe this session ? It was just perfect: a hollow left, powerful and tubular but not too fast. It's not often at Gironde. I took my first wave, a solid 1.5m, a long bottom then I brake down right in large tube...

We were only 5. Then I take a lot of beautiful waves with a lot of tubes. I scored 3 litlle tubes on the same wave !

Then, as it was a good sand bank, a lot of locals came: we were 25 at the peak ! But the atmosphere stayed pretty cool.

Thank you cylone Bertha!

it didn't close out: it was a beautifil tube...

"Ahhh ahhh aaaah" that's what I sayed when I arrived at the spot

2 of my tubes

20 waves in 3 hours is a lot with a crowd, you must have been really
DEEP. I caught probally 30 waves in a 3 hour dawn patrol session at
classic head high Seal Pier but there were only 4 of us out in the
suck-up off the sea wall. We threw some bones out and let the smaller
ones go through to the shortboarders sitting on the inside. Was so beat
up when I got home ate some pain pills and went back to bed.

You're right, this is not La TorchÃ¨re but the Cimetery. La TorchÃ¨re is located 1.2 km more south.
