Trip: Biscarrosse
By yann, From 2008-04-25 to 2008-05-03
I went to Biscarosse for my Holidays. I didn't expected much surf as the weather forecast seemed bad. But it has been pretty good except 3 days. I get some excellent sessions on excellent sandbanks.

Find a new sport!
I lived in this area for 3 years. This is NOT a surfing destination. Find a new hobby while you live here, or fly to Bali!
