Description:
I went to surf at low tide. I expected bad waves but they were really good !
I started on a left, very good, long and hollow (i got a barrel) but it was in the current. After one hour, I crossed the channel to surf the right : no current and very good turn. I got a good backside barrel (but I diden't get out)
only 3 surfers on the left, then only me on the right :-)

The swell was small and long. The tide was big (coef 100 ! ). But We found a small left that was very fun to surf ! It was in the current but it was rippable. after weeks of big swell, it was a real pleasure to surf like this. I put only 2 stars because it was other after 1 hour because of the tide.

Description:
The swell was annouced BIG (2.5m, 13s). Tibok thought it was possible to surf on a specific bank. I was not agree but I was wrong...
When we arrived, it seemed impossible to surf : too big, too much current, to much close outs. But a right seemed to break always at the same place.
We decided to jump into the water. It was huge and hard to pass outside. But we found really good waves to surf, big and hollow. Some ghost sets (3m...) washed from time to time the peak.It was a hard session.
Luke Egan has been cut by his fins : 7 points at the hospital !
I will never forget this session !
Tibok became mad, not me, I thought it was impossible
But this right seems to be surfable...
whaou 2
whaou 3
oups, luke-egan had a problem : 7 points !

Description:
The swell was very long (12s period). Waves at le gurp were not big enough : only 1.20 - 1.50 m. But it was barreling !! Waves were very fast : the take off was hard because the peak was moving all the time. As they were nobody in the water, I made a mistake about the size and took a board too big : the 6'8". Nethermind it was ok and I got 2 big tubes. A good session.

Nearly same conditions as yesterday : I woke up early and arrived at the dawn. Long powerful waves were cranking :1.5m to 2.5m on the biggest ones.
I was alone and went to the south peak. In fact it was less perfect than yesterday but still very good !
I have a criteria : at the take-off, if you need to paddle down to take the wave, then it's big and hollow.
and my preffered one :

I woke up at night and went to the north. I was not sure that it was the good plan. But when I arrived, I disovered perfect hollow waves whithout any surfers ! I jumped into the water and surf alone for 45mn.
I got maybe the longest waves I ever had in Bordeaux : 200m ! (long paddle back)/ After people came but it was not a problem. The most interesting sets took time to come in so I didn't took so many waves.
What a session !
I met Zitoune on the parking.

Description:
Sometimes every elements are here but it doesn't mean a good session. Long swell but too long (13s period), no wind. I went to Le grand Crohot and found perfect waves but they were unsurfable: the peak moved too much and it seem impossible to catch a wave.
I decided to go up north to Le Pin Sec. There was an incredible left, with a long hollow tube. I went at this peak with few other surfers. it was hard to catch waves but when you got it, it was superfast. My problem was a bodyboarder at the inside who tried to catch waves but refused them ! So it was very very frustrating as I let pass few bombs because of this... After the tide was too low...

Description:
After my failure at Nez Bayard, I cruised along the coast and went to Jx, a semi secret spot. I have heard about it since several years but never saw it worked. It was a big target for me. When I arrived, I discovered a fun pointbreak (in Normandy !). What a surprise !
The wave isn't very difficult and very fun with long walls. It breaks along the point. The landscape is great. Waves were only 1m but they were enjoyable. I think the wave can be very good at 1,5m height with a tube at the start.
I got plenty of waves as I was alone. My best memory this year in Normandy !

Description:
All the parameters seemed to ok to surf Nez Bayard : 2.5m W swell, 11s period, SW wind, right time for the tide.
Waves cranked on the reef : big 2m slab with rare opening tubes. it seemed good.
But it was just too big : waves closed out in the middle of the cove where it's usually the channel to paddle out to the reef.
I jumped into the water and I have been caught by this close out. In fact, it was not so difficult to paddle out but I felt a styrong current going out the cove. As I was alone, I didn't took the risk to have a problem and not being able to paddle back
I went out.
it should be completelu flat here in the middle of the channel !
Ouch, better to come back...

It was very very cold. With Loig, we were stuck in the fog. We jumped into the water and discovered powerful waves. Hard to take, fast to surf.
It was so cold that the waves literally smoked !
I took off on a long left : I avoid the tube but the run was so fast ! My best wave.
Then the fog due to the cold came in : it was very hard to paddle baxk as I couldn't see at more than 10m.
After 1h30, the size of swell increased. After a long right, I didn't been able to paddle back and went out. Lack of luck : 15mn after, the fog diseapeared.
hmmm..

I came back here to verify if the sandbanks get better : not, it's still pretty bad... But the waves were good and 1 wave on 3, it was a good hollow run !
I got my BEST and most technical backside tube in my life : jump on my front feet (parallel to the stringer, important point), the backside arm in the wave face to slow down and the speed control. I was very happy because it means that I have recovered all my balance and it's maybe the best news.
And during the afternonn, I took a small airplane along the whole coast from montalivet to biscarrosse to find new sandbanks.... pretty efficient....

Hungry is just the best spot which works on every swell and can be tubular, soft, long, big. Several (and good) locals at the peak : it was hard to catch some waves. A lot of surfer and bodyboarder girls in the water.
I stayed on the left and got some really and long ones : powerful take off but not too hollow, then trimming at full speed to avoid the reef then bottoms and cutbacks...
I could stay at this spot my whole life !

We came on the island of Tanagashima the night before. I didn't kew if the surf was good : I just cruised along the coast to find the surf spots. The swell was forecasted from the south which was not very good.
Waves along the coast were windy... I arrived at Rock which is maybe the best wave, a pointbreak on boulders. It worked ! Beautiful 1m - 1.20m lines opened with only 5 surfers. Waves were infrequent. I let my daughters on the harbour (the fishermen came to discuss with them...).
The right is pretty shallow but very regular : I tak off, seeing the boulders underwater going throuh....
This session is one of my best session in my life !

I finally went into the water. Lefts looked beautiful and tubular but I stayed on the right where rips were less strong.I got 10 wave. A pretty mental session...
2m tubular wave...

Description:
After visiting Kyushu, I came back at the same spot to catch few waves. I discovered a Hummer at the little parking. A Hummer ? in Japan where there is only very naarrow roads ?
When I came on the beach, the swell was bigger : a solid 1.5m - 2m with 5 surfers. I jumped in the water with my yellow-old-with-a-rope board. The surfers had dark regards covered with tatoos. Tatoos in Japan are done by Yakuza. It explained the hummer - Gloups -
So I stayed as a little mouse...And managed to take 5 beautiful and big rights ! It was a very good surf.
I finished at the end of the day in the most beautiful hot bath I have ever found in Japan ("healthy land") : you watch 2 mountains, the pacific and the Kaimon Dake in a large 270° landscape.

Description:
I didn't expect any waves in this area of Kyushu but there was a big typhoon just 2 days before. I woke up at 5h30 and tried to go the the beach near the Kaimon Dake (a wonderful volcanoe looking like the Fujisan). I drove along the coast without being able to come close to the beach. On a big bridge, I discovered that there were some waves but no access ! I continued until I just turn left towards the sea... ANd It was rewarding : I just arrived at maybe the best sandbank around !
Beautiful 1.20m waves, no winds and few surfers. On the main peak, I took 3 waves and finished in a big shore break when my leash (2 years old in Japan) broke...argh !!!
And the waves were still good !
I just took a small rope on the beach and went back to surf on a different peak.
I was so happy to surf at least ont time in Japan !
